Philips MasterColor CDM-R111 GX8.5 70W

This 70 watt ceramic metal halide lamp fits GX8.5 sockets and produces 2850 lumens at 3000K colour temperature. It is designed for retail displays and accent lighting where crisp white light and long service life are required. The 111 mm aluminium reflector delivers a 40 degree beam angle for focused illumination.

Upgrade from halogen reflector lamps

The lamp replaces 111 mm aluminium reflector halogen types while adding the energy efficiency and 12000 hour rated life of MasterColor technology. The jump is worth it when you need lower running costs, reduced relamping frequency and consistent colour quality across a display area. Integrated protection glass allows use in open luminaires without extra shielding.

2850 lumen output with 40 degree spread

The output comfortably lights merchandise displays, gallery walls and hospitality zones that demand warm white emphasis and tight beam control. Headroom runs out in large high-bay spaces or general ambient lighting where wider distribution or higher lumen packages are needed. The twist and lock cap speeds installation and reduces glare for maintenance teams.
