Philips MSR Gold 700W HID Stage Bulb

This Philips MSR Gold 700W discharge lamp delivers 53400 lumens at a 5700K colour temperature for stage and studio use. The compact design features a Mini Fast Fit base for rapid replacement and gold-plated pins that improve current transfer. A short arc produces high perceived brightness and intense beam output. Rated life is 750 hours with a colour rendering index of 73.

Suits touring lighting rigs

The Mini Fast Fit base cuts changeover time during live shows, and gold-plated pins extend both lamp and holder lifetime. Buyers who want more storage or builders who need a second card should look elsewhere. The 750-hour rating limits use in permanent installations that demand longer intervals between replacements. Fixtures must accept the specific Fast Fit base format.

Fast Fit base and gold-plated pins change

The specially designed lamp base allows replacement in seconds, supporting non-stop entertainment schedules. Gold-plated pins ensure excellent current transfer, which prolongs lamp and lamp holder lifetimes and reduces replacement costs. Compact lamp size enables smaller fixture designs while the very short arc maintains high beam intensity.

Questions about this item

What fixture base and power supply are required to run the 700 W MSR Gold lamp?

The lamp needs a compatible MiniFastFit socket and a 700 W electronic ballast that can strike and sustain its high‑intensity discharge arc.

Will the 5700 K colour temperature match older 5600 K MSR Gold units in the same rig?

Yes, the 5700 K output is close to the 5600 K of earlier models, so mixed‑era fixtures will appear consistent on stage.

How can I confirm the lamp is performing correctly after installation?

Verify instant strike, steady 53400 lumen output at 5700 K, and log hours toward the 750‑hour rated life.
