Philips MSR 700 SA Short Arc Lamp

The Philips MSR 700 SA is a high-intensity discharge lamp built for professional stage and studio fixtures. Its short arc design enables compact luminaires that deliver high beam intensity with a 5600K colour temperature. A colour rendering index of 80 ensures accurate colour reproduction for lighting designers and venue operators.

Upgrade from lower-output discharge lamps

Replacing a lower-wattage discharge source with this 700W model increases lumen output to 55000 for brighter washes and tighter beams. The jump is worth it when a production demands higher punch from a compact fixture or when consistent output over the full run is critical. P3 technology allows operation at higher temperatures in any burning position for reliable performance.

750-hour rated life with high-output headroom

The lamp comfortably handles demanding show schedules where high intensity and colour fidelity are required night after night. It runs out when the rated 750 hours are reached, requiring a planned relamp to maintain beam quality and avoid unexpected failure during a performance.
