Application fit

This OSRAM EGN halogen lamp delivers 13000 lumens at 3200K with a CRI of 100, making it suited for studio lighting, stage fixtures and projection equipment that require accurate colour rendition. The G22 bipost base fits compatible single-ended sockets in professional luminaires.

Who should look elsewhere

Buyers needing extended service life should note the rated 100 hour lifespan, which is typical for high-output tungsten-halogen sources but short for general illumination. Anyone without a 120 volt supply or a G22 socket cannot use this lamp directly.

Deciding specification

The 500 watt rating at 120 volts determines both the fixture power handling and the electrical supply required; verify that your ballast or dimmer circuit and wiring are rated for this load before purchasing.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 500 watt version or a lower wattage for my fixture?

This bulb draws 500 watts at 120 volts and delivers 13000 lumens at 3200K. Only install it in fixtures rated for at least 500 watts with a G22 Medium Bipost base; lower-wattage fixtures will overheat.

How bright will 13000 lumens actually look in my studio setup?

At 13000 lumens and a CRI of 100 the light is very intense and colour-accurate, comparable to professional tungsten fixtures. Expect strong output for key lighting, but the 100-hour life means frequent replacement during heavy use.

What does the G22 Medium Bipost base limit in practice?

The G22 Medium Bipost base locks the bulb into fixtures designed for that specific pin spacing and 120-volt supply. It prevents use in standard Edison sockets or low-voltage systems without an appropriate adapter and fixture rating.
