Energy savings plus high color rendering…that takes imagination! GE Multi-Vapor Metal Halide lamps feature sparkling white light, high operating efficiencies and long life. There’s a GE Multi-Vapor lamp just right for your situation, and most require only a simple bulb change to revolutionize your lighting.

• 360Watt-Miser saves $.80* in energy costs vs. 400Watt metal halide. ($.10/KWH
• 360Watt StayBright saves $.80* in energy costs vs. 400Watt metal halide. ($.10/KWH)

If you are looking for an energy saving solution and better color performance, GE provides two solutions:

• PulseArc saves energy and maintenance costs vs. standard Metal Halide
• CMH (Ceramic Metal Halide) provides energy saving solutions and the highest CRI >90 for color-critical and retail applications.

The Low Mercury Solution – GE Ecolux

Looking for lighting products that are environmentally friendly and reduce disposal costs? GE Consumer and Industrial Ecolux lamps are low in mercury, TCLP compliant, and feature outstanding performance and reliability. The Ecolux advantages include the following: economical, more light over the life of a lamp, higher lumen maintenance, best color and lower disposal costs.

All Ecolux products pass the EPA Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure (TCLP) test. What does the TCLP test measure? The TCLP test does not measure total mercury content; rather, it measures the potential for mercury to seep or “leach” into groundwater if a waster is landfill disposed.

How does the Ecolux design differ from traditional designs?

• In the fluorescent product line, the mercury content of GE Ecolux lamps has been reduced by over 80% versus older traditional fluorescent lamp designs. To assure long life, advanced coating technologies have been developed to minimize the absorption of mercury within the lamp. Additionally, Ecolux lamps use an exclusive material design that helps to prevent the small amount of mercury in the lamp from forming mercury compounds, which may leach into groundwater after lamp disposal.
• GE’s family of TCLP compliant compact fluorescent lamps offers superior performance and long life. The compact fluorescent lamps are offered in a large family of wattages and color temperatures to fit your design needs.
• GE also offers the Ecolux design in the High Intensity Discharge category. GE Ecolux HPS lamps reduce mercury content by 56% up to 93% versus standard HPS lamps and include a lead-free base. The Ecolux HPS are also available in a non-cycling version making end-of-life replacement quick and easy when the light color changes from yellow to blue-white near the end of life, making lamps easy to spot and replace.
• GE Ecolux CMH PAR 38 lamps use a lead-free base.
