Philips TrueForce Core LED 40W E27 6500K HID Replacement Highbay Lamp

Philips TrueForce Core LED 40W E27 6500K HID Replacement Lamp

The Philips TrueForce Core HB 40W E27 865 is a direct LED retrofit lamp for High Intensity Discharge (HID) fixtures in industrial and retail highbay applications. It bypasses the existing ballast and connects directly to mains supply, replacing 65W CFL or 55W HID lamps with no fixture changes required. At 4,000 lumens and 100 lm/W efficacy, it delivers significant energy savings with instant-on performance and a 15,000-hour rated lifetime.

Do I need an electrician for this?

Since this lamp bypasses the existing ballast, the ballast needs to be disconnected or bypassed by a qualified electrician before fitting — it's not a straightforward screw-in swap like a standard bulb replacement.

FAQ

• Can I install this myself?
  The bulb itself screws into a standard E27 base, but the existing ballast must be bypassed or disconnected first by a qualified electrician — this isn't a simple screw-in swap.
• Will this work in any HID highbay fixture?
  It's designed for E27 fixtures previously running 55–65W HID or CFL lamps; confirm your fixture's base type and ballast setup before ordering.
• Does it flicker or need warm-up time like the HID lamp it replaces?
  No — it starts instantly at 60% output and reaches full brightness almost immediately, unlike HID lamps.
• Is bulk supply available for UAE projects?
  Yes, bulk and project supply are available with fast delivery across the UAE.
