Replacement Lamp for VL3000 Q WASH

The Philips MSR Gold 1200 SA/DE lamp serves as a direct replacement for the VARI LITE VL3000 Q WASH moving-head fixture. It is intended for entertainment, effect and architectural lighting installations that require a 1200 W metal-halide source with a SFC10-4 base.

Gold-Plated Caps and P3 Technology

Gold-plated caps improve heat protection at the lamp-holder interface, reducing early failures and extending consistent output. The Jaspertronics P3 design allows operation at higher envelope temperatures, which further supports stable performance and longer service life in any burning position.

750-Hour Rated Life and 100 V Operation

The lamp is rated for 750 hours at 1200 W and 100 V, drawing 13.6 A. Its 6000 K colour temperature and nominal 110000 lumens suit high-output wash applications, but the fixed 100 V requirement limits use to fixtures or supplies that match that voltage exactly.

Questions about this item

How often will the 750-hour rated lamp need replacement under typical stage use?

The lamp is rated for 750 hours; replacement timing depends on how many hours the fixture runs per show or rehearsal.

What is the first limit reached during continuous operation — colour shift or output drop?

The lamp maintains consistent colour impression over its 750-hour life, so output decline typically appears before noticeable colour shift.

How much heat and power does the 1200 W, 100 V lamp produce when running all day?

It draws 13.6 A at 100 V (1200 W), so sustained operation generates significant heat that the fixture’s cooling must handle.
