OSRAM 8100 - Low Voltage Incandescent Lamp 30W 6V (Halogen-Free), E14 Base for Projection and Scientific Use
The OSRAM 8100 is a low-voltage, halogen-free incandescent lamp designed for professional applications requiring stable light and instant start-up. With a power output of 30 W at 6 V AC and an E14 base , it offers a compact design ( Ø 35 mm , length 65 mm , LCL 35 mm ) for easy replacement in projection, microscopy, and fiber optic equipment. It features a nominal lifespan of 600 hours , a universal burn-in position , and, according to the current OSRAM datasheet, dimmability with compatible controllers. For safe operation, the clamping point can withstand temperatures up to 350 °C , making it suitable for enclosures with appropriate heat dissipation and ventilation. Thanks to its halogen-free construction, it is a simple and reliable solution as a film projector lamp and as a light source in scientific instrumentation.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Is it halogen? No. It's a halogen-free incandescent lamp.
-
Is it adjustable? Yes, the current version is marked as adjustable. Use regulators/transformers suitable for 6V AC and verify that the manufacturer's equipment allows it.
-
Is it suitable for DC? It is specified for alternating current (AC) . For DC, consult the equipment manufacturer.
-
How do I check compatibility with my projector? Verify that the device requires 6V, 30W, an E14 base, and a 35mm LCL output. If so, the 8100 is a typical reference.
-
Thermal recommendations? Ensure adequate ventilation and do not exceed 350°C at the pinch point to prolong service life.
Usage and safety recommendations
- Disconnect the equipment before replacing. Handle the bulb with clean gloves.
- Avoid vibrations and shocks; check seat E14 and the condition of the bulb holder.
- Keep the equipment's ventilation slots clear to manage temperature.
