High-intensity discharge lamp

The SYLVANIA HSD 250W metal halide lamp delivers 17000 lumens at a 6000K daylight colour temperature. It uses a GY9.5 bipin base and is rated for 2000 hours of operation with a colour rendering index of 85.

Stage and architectural lighting users

This lamp suits venues, studios and architectural installations that need high output and crisp white light from a single-ended arc source. Buyers who need a different wattage, base type or significantly longer lifespan should consider other options.

GY9.5 bipin fixture compatibility

Verify that the fixture accepts a GY9.5 bipin base and is rated for 250W metal halide operation. Confirm the ballast matches the lamp specifications and that the enclosure can handle the heat and UV output of an arc discharge lamp.

Questions about this item

What fixture socket is required for the GY9.5 bipin base on this 250 W metal halide lamp?

The lamp uses a GY9.5 bipin base, so the fixture must provide a matching GY9.5 socket rated for 250 W HID operation.

Can this 6000 K HSD lamp run on a magnetic ballast designed for older 5600 K metal halide types?

The lamp operates in the 5600–7800 K range; compatibility depends on the ballast being rated for 250 W HSD short-arc lamps, not on colour temperature alone.

How can I confirm the lamp is delivering its rated 17000 lumen output after installation?

A stable 6000 K white light with a CRI of 85 and no flicker after warm-up indicates the lamp is striking correctly and reaching full output.
