High-output halogen projector lamp
The GE 12097 EXY is a 250 W halogen bulb designed for slide projection, medical, industrial and stage studio applications. It runs at 82 V and uses a GX5.3 bipin base for a secure fit in compatible fixtures.
MR13 reflector with bipin mounting
A multifaceted MR13 reflector directs light precisely where it is needed. The GX5.3 two-pin base locks in with a simple push-and-twist action, so lamp changes during a show or procedure take seconds without tools.
200-hour rated life at full power
The filament is rated for 200 hours at 250 W, after which output drops and colour consistency shifts. Users needing continuous all-day operation or a cooler-running source should plan for frequent replacements or a different technology.

Questions about this item
What voltage does the GX5.3 base cap in practice?
The GX5.3 bipin base is rated for 82 volts and 250 watts in this lamp.
What fixture opening does the MR13 reflector need to fit?
The MR13 reflector measures 13 eighths of an inch across, so the fixture must accept that diameter.
How is the GX5.3 bipin base installed and what step is often missed?
Align the two pins with the socket holes and push straight in; the common error is forcing the pins at an angle, which bends them.
