Halogen MR16 for stage and studio

The SYLVANIA 250W ETJ MR16 halogen bulb delivers 600 lumens at 3250K with a CRI of 100. It runs on a 120V supply and fits a GY5.3 bi-pin base. The rated life is 175 hours.

High output limits fixture choice

At 250 watts the lamp generates considerable heat and requires a fixture rated for that power. The short 175-hour life suits temporary installations rather than continuous daily use. The 120V operation means no separate transformer is needed.

Direct GY5.3 insertion, handle with care

Installation is a simple push-fit into the GY5.3 socket, but skin oils on the quartz envelope create hot spots that cause early failure. Always wear clean gloves or use a cloth when seating the lamp. Ensure the fixture power is off before insertion.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 250 W version or a lower-wattage MR16?

The 250 W ETJ lamp delivers 600 lumens at 3250 K with a 100 CRI, so choose it when you need maximum output and perfect colour rendering; a lower-wattage MR16 will give less light.

What does the 600 lumen rating look like in a real fixture?

In a typical MR16 reflector the 600 lumen output produces a bright, warm 3250 K beam with a 100 CRI, suitable for accent lighting or display cases where colour accuracy matters.

Does the GY5.3 base limit the voltage or dimming I can use?

The GY5.3 base is rated for 120 V operation; the lamp runs at 250 W and 175 hours life, and it works with standard leading-edge dimmers designed for halogen loads.
