SYLVANIA ENX/5 360W 86V GY5.3 MR16 Projector Bulb

Precision halogen projector lamp

The SYLVANIA ENX/5 is a 360 watt halogen bulb with a GY5.3 base, designed for overhead projectors and specialised medical or scientific instruments. It operates at 86 volts and delivers 540 lumens with a colour rendering index of 100 for accurate colour reproduction. The OSRAM 54913 model is built for applications where optical precision and high intensity take priority over extended service life.

Suited for high-intensity projection tasks

This lamp serves technicians maintaining overhead projectors, microscopes, endoscopes or fibre-optic illuminators that require the ENX specification. It also fits stage and studio fixtures such as ellipsoidal spotlights demanding precise beam control. Buyers needing a long-life general lighting solution should look elsewhere, as the rated lifespan is only 75 hours and the high wattage demands compatible fixtures and power supplies.

75-hour rated life defines the maintenance cycle

The single specification that determines suitability is the 75 hour operating life, which is exceptionally short compared to standard lighting. This figure confirms the bulb is intended for intermittent, high-performance projection rather than continuous illumination. Plan replacement schedules and spare stock around this interval to avoid unexpected downtime in critical equipment.
