Specialised airfield halogen bulb
The SYLVANIA 58697 is a tungsten halogen lamp rated at 45 watts and 6.6 amps, designed for constant-current airfield lighting circuits. It produces 800 lumens with a colour rendering index of 100 and a rated life of 1000 hours. The lamp uses a rim-mount base with female flat connectors for secure installation in approach and runway fixtures. It serves airports and heliports requiring reliable visual guidance.
Constant-current 6.6A circuit constraint
The bulb operates only on a 6.6 ampere constant-current series circuit, not on standard mains voltage. It cannot be used in domestic or commercial sockets and requires a dedicated airfield regulator and isolation transformer. The 45 watt rating applies strictly at the specified current; deviation reduces output or shortens the 1000-hour life. Installers must verify the circuit matches the 6.6A specification before fitting.
Rim mount with flat connectors
The rim-mount base and female flat connectors provide a positive mechanical lock and low-resistance electrical contact in vibration-prone environments. This construction resists loosening from wind or aircraft blast, maintaining alignment in elevated or inset fixtures. The halogen capsule delivers full output instantly, supporting flashing or steady-burn sequences without warm-up delay. The 1000-hour rating assumes correct current regulation and proper fixture sealing.

Questions about this item
Which version of the SYLVANIA 58697 halogen bulb matches my airfield fixture?
The bulb is a single 45 W, 6.6 A T4 type with rim mount and female flat connectors, identified by part numbers 58697, 59010 and 64319; no alternative wattages or base styles are offered.
What does the 800 lumen rating deliver on an actual runway circuit?
At 800 lumens and a CRI of 100 the lamp provides full-spectrum white light for approach and taxiway guidance, maintaining that output for the rated 1000 hours before replacement.
How does the 6.6 A constant-current interface limit real-world installation?
The bulb requires a 6.6 A series circuit; it cannot be driven from standard mains voltage and must be fitted to an airfield constant-current regulator with compatible female flat connectors.
