Platinum FTK 500 W Halogen Bulb

The Platinum FTK 500 W halogen bulb delivers 12000 lumens at a 3200 K colour temperature with a CRI of 100. It is built for stage and studio fixtures that require a compact, high-output source with accurate colour rendering. The GY9.5 2-pin base fits compatible holders in professional lighting equipment.

Installation & Common Issues

The GY9.5 2-pin base pushes straight into the matching socket; no tools are required. Handle the quartz envelope only with clean gloves because skin oils create hot spots that shorten the 200-hour rated life. The lamp must be operated in the specified S 90 burning position to maintain colour stability and avoid premature failure.

500 W / 120 V Rating

This bulb runs at 500 W on a 120 V supply, so the fixture and circuit must support that exact voltage and wattage. Buyers needing a different voltage, a lower wattage or a longer-life lamp should choose another model.

Questions about this item

How can I confirm the bulb is performing correctly once installed?

The bulb should produce 12000 lumens at 3200K colour temperature with a CRI of 100; if output looks dim or colour appears off, the lamp may be faulty or the fixture voltage may be incorrect.

What comes in the box and what must I purchase separately?

The box contains the Platinum FTK 500 W halogen bulb with GY9.5 2-pin base; you must supply a compatible fixture such as a Lowell Omni-light that accepts this base and operates at 120 V.

Which version or capacity should I choose for my studio setup?

This model is a single 500 W, 120 V, 3200 K lamp rated for 200 hours; choose it when you need maximum output in a fixture designed for the FTK code and GY9.5 base.
