Photography Lighting
The OSRAM EBV PS25 Super Photoflood is a 500W incandescent bulb designed for photographic and studio applications. It delivers 17800 lumens at a 3400K color temperature with a CRI of 100. The supplier specifies this item is not for home use.
Studio Use Only
This bulb suits photographers who need high-output, color-accurate light for short sessions. It is not for buyers seeking general room lighting, long-life bulbs, or fixtures requiring lower wattages. The rated life is only 8 hours.
8-Hour Rated Life
The 8-hour lifetime is the critical specification that defines this product's role. It confirms the bulb is built for brief, intensive shoots rather than continuous operation. Buyers planning extended use should look at alternative lighting technologies.

Questions about this item
How long will the 17800-lumen output last before the bulb burns out?
The rated life is 8 hours at full 500-watt output, so the high lumen level is maintained only for that period.
How much heat does the 500-watt filament produce during a full-day shoot?
At 500 watts the bulb converts almost all input power into heat, raising fixture and studio temperature quickly during extended use.
What fixture and power source are required to run this 120-volt photoflood?
A PS25-compatible socket rated for 500 watts and a 120-volt circuit able to supply the full load are necessary.
