Professional Lighting Source

The OSRAM SYLVANIA HMI 1200W/SEL UVS is a 1200 watt metal halide bulb designed for professional film, television and stage lighting fixtures. It delivers a high output of 110000 lumens at a 6000K colour temperature that matches daylight conditions. The G38 base fits compatible single-ended HMI sockets used in follow-spots and Fresnel units.

Thermals and Power

The lamp draws a constant 1200 watts during operation and generates significant heat typical of high-intensity discharge sources. A UV-stop quartz envelope blocks harmful ultraviolet radiation while maintaining spectral quality. Excellent hot-restart capability allows the bulb to re-strike quickly after a momentary power interruption without a long cool-down period.

Lifetime Constraint

Rated service life is 1000 hours, so production schedules must plan for lamp replacement during extended shoots or long-running installations. The single-ended design and specific G38 base limit use to fixtures built for this exact lamp type. Buyers needing a different base, wattage or significantly longer lifespan should select an alternative model.

Questions about this item

How do I install the G38 base HMI bulb without damaging the UV-stop quartz envelope?

Wear lint-free gloves, align the G38 pins with the socket slots, and press straight in until seated; never touch the quartz with bare fingers because skin oils create hot spots that shorten the 1000-hour rated life.

When will this 1200 W metal-halide lamp need replacement and what indicates end of life?

Plan replacement at or before 1000 hours of operation; the lamp will show colour shift toward green, reduced 110000 lumen output, and eventual failure to hot-restart as the electrodes erode.

What is the first limitation I will hit running this fixture continuously at full power?

The 1000-hour rated life is the primary limit; sustained full-power use reaches that threshold quickly, after which lumen maintenance drops and reliable hot-restart can no longer be guaranteed.
