Philips 35W GU6.5 MasterColor CDM-Tm Elite

This Philips ceramic metal halide lamp delivers 3900 lumens from 35 watts with a 3000K colour temperature and a colour rendering index of 90. It fits fixtures that accept a GU6.5 base and is rated for 15000 hours of operation. The compact single-ended design suits retail display and accent lighting where crisp white output is required.

Replaces older quartz metal halide or halogen lamps

The higher efficacy and longer rated life reduce relamping frequency and energy draw compared with earlier discharge or filament sources. The jump is worth it when a fixture runs many hours daily and colour quality must stay consistent over time. It is not for buyers who need instant restrike or dimming capability without compatible control gear.

Handles retail display.

At 3900 lumens the lamp comfortably illuminates focused areas such as showcases or artwork with high colour fidelity. Output will gradually decline after the 15000 hour rating, so it runs out in installations that demand maintained illuminance beyond that period without scheduled replacement.

Questions about this item

What base does the GU6.5 MasterColor CDM-Tm Elite Mini use?

It uses a GU6.5 bi-pin base designed for compatible HID sockets.

How do I install the Philips 35W CDM-Tm Elite Mini HID lamp?

Ensure the fixture is powered off, align the pins with the GU6.5 socket, and press firmly until seated; the step often missed is confirming the ballast matches the 35W rating before powering on.

When should I replace the Philips 35W MasterColor CDM-Tm Elite Mini bulb?

Plan replacement around 15000 hours of use, when output drops below the rated 3900 lumens or the 3000K colour shifts noticeably.
