Philips MSR Gold 1200 SA/DE Replacement Lamp

This 1200 watt metal halide lamp serves as a direct replacement for the VARI LITE VL3000 Q SPOT fixture. It produces 110000 nominal lumens at a 6000K colour temperature for entertainment and architectural lighting applications. The SFC 10-4 base ensures correct fitment in the designated spotlight unit.

Double-ended design requires careful handling

The lamp uses a double-ended SFC 10-4 base that must seat evenly in the holder to avoid premature failure. Gold-plated caps provide heat protection but do not eliminate the need for clean, secure electrical contact. Avoid touching the quartz envelope with bare hands as contaminants can cause hot spots and reduce the rated 750 hour service life.

Verify fixture compatibility

Confirm the VARI LITE VL3000 Q SPOT requires a 100 volt 1200 watt metal halide source with an SFC 10-4 base. The existing ballast must supply 13.6 amps to match the lamp current specification. Ensure the fixture ventilation can accommodate the T 6.5 bulb shape and operating temperatures for the full rated lifetime.

Questions about this item

How can I confirm the MSR Gold 1200 SA/DE lamp is operating correctly after installing it in my VARI LITE VL3000 Q SPOT?

Verify the fixture draws approximately 13.6 amps at 100 volts and produces a pure white output near 6000K; the gold-plated caps should remain intact without discolouration during the rated 750-hour life.

What comes with the Philips MSR Gold 1200 SA/DE replacement bulb and what must I source separately?

The package contains the double-ended metal halide lamp with SFC10-4 base only; the VARI LITE VL3000 Q SPOT fixture, power supply and any mounting hardware are sold separately.

Which specification should I match when choosing the correct lamp for my VARI LITE VL3000 Q SPOT?

Select the 1200-watt, 100-volt metal halide model with SFC10-4 base, T6.5 bulb shape and 110000 nominal lumens to match the original 28714-4 part.
