Professional Daylight Source

The OSRAM 55139 is a 1200 watt HMI double-ended lamp built for studio, TV, film and high-speed photography. Its 6000K colour temperature matches natural daylight and the CRI exceeds 90 for true colour rendition. The SFc15.5 base supports hot restrike ignition so shooting can resume without a cool-down period.

Stage and Screen Lighting

This lamp suits gaffers and cinematographers who need reliable daylight balance on set or in large-screen projection. It is not intended for general domestic fixtures or installations that cannot supply the required ignition voltage and ballast. Buyers without professional HMI gear should look at alternative lighting types.

Sustained Output Stability

The arc maintains high colour-temperature stability over the 1000 hour rated life. Heat-dissipating moly-foil construction and eXtreme Seal technology allow pinch-seal temperatures up to 450°C. Compression-sealed bases enhance durability while the design delivers up to 100 lm/W efficiency throughout extended runs.

Questions about this item

What fixture socket and power rating do I need to run this 1200 W HMI lamp?

The lamp uses an SFc15.5 double-ended base and requires a ballast rated for 1200 W HMI operation; the fixture must accept that base and supply the correct ignition voltage.

Can I use this 6000 K lamp in a fixture that previously held a lower-wattage HMI bulb?

Only if the fixture and its ballast are both rated for 1200 W and the SFc15.5 base; a lower-wattage ballast will not ignite the arc reliably and may overheat.

How can I verify the lamp is performing correctly after installation?

The arc should strike instantly, even when hot, and produce a steady 6000 K daylight output with a CRI above 90; expect roughly 110000 lumens and a rated life of 1000 hours.
