Philips 287169 MSR Gold 1510 SA/DE

The Philips 287169 MSR Gold 1510 SA/DE is a 1500 watt metal halide bulb designed for professional stage and studio lighting. It delivers 140000 lumens at a 6000K colour temperature with a colour rendering index of 85. This high intensity discharge lamp suits lighting engineers who need consistent, high-output daylight simulation for broadcast or live events.

Gold-plated caps and P3 technology upgrade

The gold-plated caps provide superior heat protection to minimise premature failure of the lamp and holder compared to standard caps. Philips P3 technology allows operation at higher temperatures to further extend service life and maintain consistent light output. The upgrade is worth it for venues where frequent lamp changes are disruptive and colour stability over the 750 hour rated life is critical.

Double-ended installation and thermal management

The double-ended SA/DE base requires a compatible fixture with secure electrical contact at both ends. Installers must ensure the lampholders are clean and correctly aligned to avoid arcing or overheating at the caps. The most common issue is reduced lamp life caused by insufficient fixture ventilation or contaminated contacts that negate the gold plating benefits.

Questions about this item

What type of fixture or socket does the double-ended 1500 W MSR Gold 1510 lamp require?

It fits a double-ended socket designed for 1500 W metal-halide lamps; the gold-plated caps on both ends slide into matching lampholders that accept the SA/DE base.

Which step is most often missed when installing the Philips 287169 MSR Gold 1510 bulb?

Installers frequently forget to avoid touching the quartz envelope with bare fingers; oils create hot spots that shorten the 750-hour rated life.

When should the Philips 287169 MSR Gold 1510 lamp be replaced?

Plan replacement after roughly 750 hours of operation or when output drops noticeably below the rated 140000 lumens and 6000 K colour temperature.
