Professional Stage Lighting

The OSRAM SYLVANIA DPY is a 5000 watt halogen lamp built for Fresnel fixtures in stage and studio environments. It delivers 143000 lumens at a 3200K colour temperature with a CRI of 100 for accurate colour rendering. The G38 mogul bipost base ensures secure mounting in professional luminaires. This lamp is not suited for general household lighting or fixtures requiring lower wattage.

Sustained Output Characteristics

Rated life is 500 hours at the full 5000 watt draw on a 120 volt supply. Light output and colour stability are maintained across this period before replacement is required. The halogen cycle preserves lumen maintenance better than conventional incandescent types under continuous operation. Fixtures must provide adequate ventilation to manage the significant heat generated during extended use.

Decisive Specification

The 5000 watt power rating is the single figure that determines fixture compatibility and electrical infrastructure needs. Only luminaires rated for this wattage and voltage with a G38 socket should be used. Cross-reference numbers include Atlas/Thorn CP/46 and CP/29, GE 41736, OSRAM 54647, Philips 6378P and Ushio 1000215 for verified substitutes.

Questions about this item

How much heat does the 5000w halogen bulb produce during continuous stage use?

At 5000 watts the lamp converts nearly all input power into heat, so fixtures must be rated for that load and ventilation must handle the output for the full 500-hour life.

What fixture and supply does the G38 mogul bipost base require?

The G38 bipost base fits Fresnel or studio fixtures wired for 120 volts and able to carry 5000 watts; the lamp will not seat or operate safely in any other socket.

Will the 3200k output match older CP/29 or CP/46 lamps in the same rig?

Yes, the 3200K colour temperature and CRI 100 match the Atlas/Thorn CP/29 and CP/46 cross-references, so colour balance stays consistent across the rig.
