Replacement Lamp for VL3000 Wash

This 1200-watt metal-halide lamp serves as a direct replacement for the VARI LITE VL3000 WASH fixture. It operates at 100 volts and draws 13.6 amps, producing a 6000-kelvin white output rated at 110000 nominal lumens. The SFC 10-4 base matches the original equipment specification exactly.

Double-Ended T6.5 Form Factor

The T 6.5 bulb shape and double-ended construction allow the lamp to seat securely in the VL3000 WASH housing without adapter rings. Gold-plated caps on both ends resist oxidation at high operating temperatures, reducing premature holder failures. P3 technology permits higher envelope temperatures, which extends consistent output across the 750-hour rated life.

Gold Caps and P3 Thermal Design

Gold-plated caps minimise early lamp and holder failures by improving heat dissipation at the contact points. The P3 thermal architecture lets the lamp run hotter without accelerating degradation, so colour stability remains close to the black-body line throughout the service interval. These features reduce unplanned replacements in entertainment and architectural lighting installations.
