The SYLVANIA HSD 250W metal halide lamp delivers 17000 lumens at a 6000K daylight colour temperature. It uses a GY9.5 bipin base and is rated for 2000 hours of operation with a colour rendering index of 85.

Stage and architectural lighting users

This lamp suits venues, studios and architectural installations that need high output and crisp white light from a single-ended arc source. Buyers who need a different wattage, base type or significantly longer lifespan should consider other options.

Questions about this item

What fixture socket is required for the GY9.5 bipin base on this 250 W metal halide lamp?

The lamp uses a GY9.5 bipin base, so the fixture must provide a matching GY9.5 socket rated for 250 W HID operation.

Can this 6000 K HSD lamp run on a magnetic ballast designed for older 5600 K metal halide types?

The lamp operates in the 5600–7800 K range; compatibility depends on the ballast being rated for 250 W HSD short-arc lamps, not on colour temperature alone.

How can I confirm the lamp is delivering its rated 17000 lumen output after installation?

A stable 6000 K white light with a CRI of 85 and no flicker after warm-up indicates the lamp is striking correctly and reaching full output.
