Fixture Compatibility Check

Verify your fixture accepts a PS25 bulb shape and is rated for 500W at 120V before ordering. The high wattage generates significant heat, so the socket and wiring must be certified for this load. Ensure the supply voltage matches the 120V rating exactly for safe operation.

Heat Output and Lamp Life

Normal use produces extreme surface temperatures requiring careful handling and adequate ventilation around the fixture. The rated life is 8 hours, so plan for frequent replacement during extended shoots. Power draw is a constant 500W with no dimming capability mentioned in the specifications.
