Halogen Lamp for Stage and Studio

This 500 watt halogen bulb operates at 120 volts and uses a GY9.5 bipin prefocus base for secure installation. It produces a warm 3200K colour temperature with a 100 CRI rating for accurate colour rendering. The lamp delivers 13000 lumens of luminous flux suited to professional lighting fixtures.

Thermal Output and Power Draw

At 500 watts the lamp generates significant heat during normal operation and requires fixtures rated for this wattage. The halogen cycle maintains consistent output over the 150 hour rated life when used at the specified 120 volts. No additional power regulation is needed beyond standard mains supply.

Direct Replacement with No Extras

The 54629 model is a direct replacement lamp supplied without additional accessories or software. Builders needing dimming control or DMX integration must provide compatible external equipment. The T6 shape fits existing GY9.5 sockets without modification.

Questions about this item

How do I install the GY9.5 bipin base and what step do people miss?

Align the two pins with the socket holes and push straight in until the bulb seats firmly; the step often missed is avoiding skin contact with the quartz envelope, as oils create hot spots that shorten the 150-hour rated life.

What maintenance or replacement will this 500-watt halogen lamp need?

The lamp is rated for 150 hours at 3200 K and 13000 lumens; plan to replace the bulb once it reaches that limit, as halogen output drops and the filament eventually fails.

What limit appears first during sustained use of this 120-volt T6 halogen?

The 150-hour rated life is the first hard limit; continuous operation at 500 watts will reach that point quickly, after which the filament burns out and the bulb must be replaced.
