Philips 13163 ELC - MR16 250W / 24V GX5.3 Dichroic Lamp (50 hours)
The Philips 13163 ELC is a low-voltage (24V) dichroic halogen lamp with a GX5.3 base, designed for projection , medical and optical equipment , fiber optics , and entertainment applications. Its MR16 (Ø 50 mm) dichroic reflector dissipates heat to the rear of the optical system, maintaining a cooler and more uniform front beam . It offers a 50-hour average lifespan, a color temperature of 3400 K , and a CRI of 100 , with dimmer control and a universal operating position . The UV-Open quartz bulb and smooth reflector finish ensure clean, hotspot-free projection with high color stability.
