Philips 13163LL (ELC/5H) - MR16 250W / 24V GX5.3 dichroic lamp (500h life)
The Philips 13163LL (ELC/5H) is a low-voltage dichroic halogen lamp with a GX5.3 base, designed for demanding applications in projection, fiber optics, medical and optical equipment, microscopy , and entertainment lighting . The 5H version offers a long lifespan of 500 hours and maintains a CRI of 100 with a color temperature of 3400 K , ensuring impeccable color rendering and a clean, stable beam. The smooth-finished MR16 (R50) dichroic reflector expels some of the heat to the rear of the optical system, reducing the thermal load on the beam. It incorporates Philips P3 (Pinch Protection) technology , which allows operation at higher temperatures and in any working position ( S90 : upright ±90° or base down/horizontal), facilitating compact and reliable luminaire designs.

-
Versatile integration: MR16 form factor and GX5.3 base widely compatible; universal working position.
Use cases
-
Optics and medicine: microscopes, fiber optics and laboratory equipment with stable light requirements.
-
Projection and effects: compact projectors and stage lighting systems.
-
Entertainment: disco and theater effects with high-intensity moments.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Does it need a transformer? Yes, it requires a 24V power supply using a transformer suitable for low-voltage halogen lamps.
-
Is it dimmable? Yes, it is dimmable. Use with 24V halogen compatible fixtures.
-
Does it emit UV? The bulb is UV-Open ; apply the protection indicated by the luminaire manufacturer if there is direct public exposure.
