Replacement Lamp for VL3000 Wash

This 1200 watt metal halide lamp serves as a direct replacement for the Philips Vari-Lite VL3000 wash fixture. It operates at 100 volts with an SFC10-4 base and produces 110000 nominal lumens at a 6000K colour temperature. The lamp is built for entertainment, effect and architectural lighting applications where consistent white light is required.

Upgrade from Standard 1200W Halide

The MSR Gold SA/DE design replaces standard double-ended 1200 watt lamps such as the 28714-4 model. Gold-plated caps and P3 technology allow higher operating temperatures in any burning position, extending service life beyond the 750 hour rating while reducing early lamp or holder failures. The jump is worth it for venues that need fewer relamps and stable output over long runs.

Limits of Double-Ended Metal Halide

The SFC10-4 base and T 6.5 bulb shape restrict use to fixtures designed for this specific envelope and electrical interface. Rated life of 750 hours at 13.6 amps means scheduled replacement is essential for critical shows. Colour consistency holds across the MSR range, but the lamp cannot dim smoothly or change colour temperature without external optical accessories.
