Professional Stage Lamp

The Philips 245605 is a 2000W MSR Gold FastFit metal halide lamp built for entertainment lighting. It delivers a nominal output of 160000 lumens at a correlated colour temperature of 7500K with a colour rendering index of 85. The PGJX50 base allows universal operating position in compatible fixtures. Rated life to fifty percent failures is 750 hours.

Touring And Stage Productions

This lamp suits lighting designers who need high-output white light with consistent colour quality for live events, theatre or television studios. The FastFit system enables rapid lamp changes without tools during tight changeovers. Buyers who require longer service intervals or lower power consumption should consider alternative lamp types. Fixtures must support the PGJX50 base and 2000W electrical rating.

FastFit Base And Dimming Capability

The PGJX50 FastFit base reduces replacement time by eliminating screw or clip fasteners, allowing single-handed insertion and removal. The lamp is dimmable, giving operators continuous intensity control from full output down to minimum stable level. Maximum bulb temperature reaches 950°C and pinch temperature 500°C, so luminaire ventilation must handle these thermal loads. Ignition requires a minimum supply voltage of 198V.

Questions about this item

What fixture base is needed for the PGJX50 cap on this MSR Gold 2000/2 FastFit lamp?

The lamp uses a PGJX50 cap-base, so the fixture must accept a PGJX50 socket for a secure FastFit connection.

Can this 2000W metal halide lamp run on a ballast rated for lower wattage HID lamps?

No, the lamp draws 15 A at 2000 W and requires a ballast and ignitor rated for 2000 W metal halide operation with at least 198 V ignition supply voltage.

How can I confirm the lamp is performing correctly after installation?

Verify the lamp strikes reliably, reaches the nominal 7500 K color temperature, delivers approximately 160000 lm initial output and operates within the 950 °C bulb and 500 °C pinch temperature limits.
