85 W 5500 K spiral CFL for studio lighting
This 85-watt compact fluorescent lamp produces 5000 lumens at a 5500 K colour temperature, matching the output of a 425-watt incandescent bulb. The standard Edison base fits common household sockets and studio fixtures, so photographers and videographers can add bright, daylight-balanced light without specialised hardware.
Sustained output and colour fidelity
The spiral tube reaches full brightness quickly and maintains steady illumination during long shoots, avoiding the flicker or colour shift that can appear with lesser fluorescents. A CRI of 80 preserves hue accuracy for product, portrait and video work where consistent colour matters across extended sessions.
Standard base and long-life construction
The Edison screw mounts directly into softboxes, reflectors or clamp lamps already in the studio, removing the need for adapters or proprietary fixtures. Rated for extended lifespan, the bulb reduces replacement frequency, keeping lighting rigs reliable over repeated daily use.

Questions about this item
How much heat or noise does the 85 W spiral CFL produce during all-day shoots?
The 85 W fluorescent bulb runs much cooler than a 425 W incandescent equivalent and has no moving parts, so it adds minimal heat and zero fan noise to the set.
What fixture or socket must I already own to use this 5500 K bulb?
It fits any standard household Edison socket, so the only requirement is a lamp holder or studio soft-box that accepts a medium-base lamp.
Will the 5000-lumen output and CRI 80 work alongside my older tungsten lights?
The 5500 K daylight balance differs from tungsten's warm tone, so you would need gels or separate circuits to match colour temperature when mixing them.
