Replacement for the GE 250R40/1/STG incandescent bulb that delivers reliable 120V 250W performance in a classic R40 shape. This direct replacement maintains the original electrical and physical specifications so fixtures continue operating without modification or adapters. The medium screw E26 base installs into standard sockets found in residential commercial and industrial settings while the infrared clear finish preserves the intended light distribution and intensity levels expected from the original lamp.
Key Features & Benefits
Engineered for extended service life this bulb provides up to 5000 hours of rated operation under normal conditions reducing the frequency of replacements and associated maintenance costs. It draws 2.083 amps at 120 volts aligning precisely with circuit requirements and avoiding overload risks in existing wiring. The robust construction supports multi-application use ranging from display lighting and task illumination to general ambient sources where consistent output is essential.

Replacement Compatibility
This part fits fixtures and equipment that originally used GE 250R40/1/STG or equivalent R40 incandescent bulbs requiring 120V 250W input with E26 base. Verify voltage wattage and shape before installation to confirm match. Proper storage in a dry cool location prevents premature degradation of internal components prior to first use. Always inspect the bulb for cracks or damage upon receipt and handle only by the base to avoid fingerprints on the glass surface that could affect performance.
Discover the Perfect Replacement
Browse the full selection of replacement bulbs to locate the exact electrical and dimensional match for your current setup. Confirm all listed specifications align with your fixture requirements prior to purchase. The design ensures compatibility with older dimmers and control systems that may not support modern solid-state alternatives. Proper handling includes allowing the bulb to cool before removal and disposing of spent lamps according to local regulations for glass and metal components. This approach supports continued use of legacy equipment while maintaining expected light quality and operational safety across diverse environments. Regular cleaning of the bulb exterior with a dry cloth helps sustain maximum light output over its full lifespan and reduces dust accumulation that might otherwise lead to uneven illumination patterns in sensitive display applications.
