Platinum GCA 250W halogen lamp

This Platinum GCA halogen bulb delivers 5700 lumens at 3200K colour temperature with a CRI of 100. It uses a 250W 120V G5.3 bipin base and is designed for stage, studio and projection lighting. The rated life is 200 hours. It is intended for professional fixtures that accept this specific lamp type.

Thermals noise and power

The lamp draws 250 watts at 120 volts and operates as a tungsten halogen source. It produces significant heat during use and requires fixtures rated for this wattage and voltage. No active cooling or ballast is integrated; thermal management depends entirely on the host fixture. Operation is silent with no fan or electronic noise.

Build quality and connectors

The G5.3 bipin base provides a secure push-fit connection in compatible sockets. The T3 quartz envelope and halogen fill gas maintain consistent output and colour rendering over the 200-hour rated life. Handling the quartz with bare hands can reduce lifespan; clean gloves are recommended during installation. The lamp is a direct replacement for existing GCA-coded lamps in professional lighting inventories.

Questions about this item

How do I install this G5.3 bipin halogen bulb without damaging it?

Turn off power, let any hot fixture cool, then align the two pins with the G5.3 socket and push straight in until seated; avoid touching the quartz envelope with bare fingers because oils create hot spots that shorten the 200-hour life.

What maintenance or replacement will this 250W halogen bulb need later?

After roughly 200 hours of use the filament will fail and the bulb must be replaced; no other maintenance is required, but keep the fixture vents clear so heat does not further reduce the rated lifetime.

What limit appears first when this 3200K lamp runs continuously?

The 200-hour rated life is the first limit; the tungsten filament will burn out long before the 5700-lumen output or 100 CRI colour quality degrades noticeably.
