Philips MasterColor CDM150/T6/830 Ceramic Metal Halide Lamp (Ordering Code: 232728)
The Philips MasterColor CDM150/T6/830 (Product Code: 232728) is a compact, high-output single-ended ceramic metal halide lamp engineered for commercial display, high-ceiling retail, and architectural floodlighting. Combining 150 watts of high-intensity discharge power with a tubular clear T6 glass envelope and a 2-pin G12 base, this lamp delivers intense, sparkling white light with exceptional color stability and high color rendering throughout its operational life.
Key Features & Performance Benefits
- Ceramic Discharge Metal Halide (CDM): Features a polycrystalline alumina arc tube that resists chemical interaction, delivering superior color stability and lumen maintenance compared to standard quartz lamps.
- High Lumen Density: Generates approximately 13,000 lumens from an ultra-compact T6 envelope, making it ideal for precision optical reflectors and long-throw accent luminaires.
- Enclosed Fixture Rated: Designed and certified for use exclusively in enclosed fixtures equipped with a protective tempered glass lens.
- Universal Burn Position: Operates reliably in any mounting orientation without shifting color rendering, light output, or lamp life.
- Ballast Pairing: Compatible with ANSI M142 / M102 / C142 pulse-start ballasts. Recommended for use with Philips Advance e-Vision electronic HID ballasts for optimal performance.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does "CDM150/T6/830" stand for in Philips' catalog?
"CDM" designates Ceramic Discharge Metal Halide, "150" indicates the 150-watt power rating, "T6" denotes the tubular 6/8-inch diameter envelope, "8" specifies a Color Rendering Index (CRI) of 80 or higher, and "30" indicates a 3000K warm white color temperature.
Can this lamp be operated in an open fixture?
No. The Philips CDM150/T6/830 is strictly rated for enclosed luminaires containing a protective glass lens barrier to meet safety standards for high-pressure discharge operation.
What ballast is required to operate this lamp?
This lamp requires an ANSI M142, M102, or C142 pulse-start ballast. Electronic ballasts (such as the Philips Advance e-Vision 150W series) provide optimum lamp-to-lamp color consistency, silence audible hum, and maximize lamp life.
