Philips MSD 1200 (G22) - Metal halide lamp 1,200 W, 6,000 K, 92,000 lm
The Philips MSD 1200 is a single-ended metal halide lamp from the Architectural MSD family, optimized for projectors and moving heads requiring a very intense beam , a 6000 K daylight color temperature , and good color rendering. With a nominal luminous flux of 92,000 lm and an efficacy of 79 lm/W , its compact 14 mm arc facilitates beam control and increases intensity in both indoor and outdoor luminaires. It operates in a universal position , is not dimmable , and offers an average lifespan of 2000 hours . The G22 base and standardized dimensions simplify replacement in compatible architectural and entertainment lighting fixtures.
