GE 30325 Halogen Projector Lamp

The GE 30325 is a 650W halogen reflector lamp built for stage and studio fixtures. Its T4 envelope and recessed single contact base fit professional follow-spots and ellipsoidal units. The clear finish delivers a 3200K output across a 360-degree beam angle. Dimmable operation allows precise intensity control for lighting designers.

Replaces earlier 500W halogen lamps

Moving from a 500W source to this 650W model adds measurable output for larger throws or higher ambient light. The jump is worth it when the fixture and wiring are rated for the increased wattage and heat. Existing R7s sockets accept the lamp directly without adapter changes. Verify the fixture’s maximum wattage rating before installing.

100-hour rated life defines the headroom

At full power the lamp provides roughly 100 hours of service before replacement. This suits touring productions, one-off events or scheduled relamp cycles. Continuous daily operation will exhaust the lamp quickly, so budget for spares. The shatter-resistant rating is absent, so handle with care and use protective screens where required.

Questions about this item

Will the 3 3/16 in overall length and 1/2 in diameter fit my existing R7s socket?

The lamp measures 3 3/16 in long and 1/2 in diameter with a Recessed Single Contact R7s base, so it fits standard R7s fixtures that accept those dimensions.

How do I install the R7s base correctly without damaging the halogen capsule?

Insert the Recessed Single Contact ends firmly into the spring-loaded R7s holder while wearing clean gloves; touching the quartz envelope with bare fingers leaves oils that cause hot spots and early failure.

With a 100-hour rated life, how often should I plan to replace this 650 W stage lamp?

At 100 hours rated life, expect to replace the bulb after roughly 100 hours of stage or studio use; keep a spare on hand for uninterrupted productions.
