Philips CDM-SA/T 150W/942 G12 - Ceramic metal halide lamp (CRI 95, 4,200 K, 9,000 h)
The Philips CDM-SA/T 150W/942 is a G12 ceramic metal halide lamp designed for architainment applications and dynamic architectural projects requiring an intense, stable beam with high color rendering. Its code 942 indicates a CRI of 95 and a color temperature of 4,200 K (neutral white), offering natural and homogeneous color on facades, shop windows, museums, and performance spaces. The short 6 mm arc and the lamp's formulation improve light collection, increasing the usable intensity in luminaires with concentrated optics. It provides a nominal luminous flux of 13,000 lm (minimum reference value 12,000 lm) with an average lifespan of 9,000 hours , a universal operating position , and is not dimmable . Its nominal power consumption is 155 W, with a lamp current of 1.8 A and a minimum ignition voltage of 198 V.
