Professional film lighting

The OSRAM HMI Digital 800W metal halide bulb is built for film, TV and high-speed video production. It delivers 49000 lumens at a 6000K colour temperature with a CRI above 90. The lamp is dimmable and offers hot-restart capability for continuous shooting.

G22 base compatibility

This lamp uses a single-ended G22 base and operates at 95V. It requires a high-speed electronic ballast running at 1000 Hz or higher to achieve flicker-free output. Without that ballast specification the lamp will not perform as intended for high-frame-rate capture.

UV-Stop quartz and carrying case

The UV-Stop quartz reduces UV emissions by up to 99.9 percent, protecting talent and equipment. A reusable splash-proof case is included for safe transport and storage between productions. The round moly-foil construction distributes heat evenly to support the rated 1000-hour life.

Questions about this item

What does the 49000 lumen output mean when the bulb is installed in a fixture?

The 49000 lumen rating is the total luminous flux the lamp produces at full power; actual illuminance on set depends on the fixture's reflector design, lens system and distance to the subject.

How does the G22 base interface affect compatibility and power delivery?

The G22 base is a two-pin connector rated for the lamp's 800W at 95V; it locks into matching sockets on electronic ballasts that supply the required high-frequency current for flicker-free operation at 1000 Hz and above.

What physical clearances and orientation does the single-ended 800W lamp need for safe mounting?

The single-ended design requires a socket that accepts the G22 pins and enough housing depth for the quartz envelope; the round moly-foil construction distributes heat evenly, but the fixture must still provide adequate ventilation and UV-stop shielding.
