Professional stage replacement lamp

The Philips MSD Platinum 5R is a 189 watt metal halide discharge bulb designed for professional moving-head fixtures in theatres, touring productions and live events. It delivers 7950 initial lumens at an 8000 Kelvin colour temperature with a CRI of 75.

Upgrade from lower-output 5R lamps

This unit replaces earlier 150 watt 5R bulbs where the fixture’s power supply and cooling can support the higher 189 watt rating. The jump is worth it when a show demands brighter output and a 1 mm arc for tighter beam control over a 3000 hour rated life.

Fits single-ended 5R fixtures

The lamp measures 57.1 mm overall length and 51.4 mm diameter with a 34.5 mm working distance, matching the single-ended socket used by Clay Paky Sharpy, Elation Platinum and ADJ Vizi series heads. Universal burning position frees rigging orientation, while the 350 °C pinch temperature requires the fixture’s original cooling design.
