Philips MSR Gold 2000/2 FastFit - 2000W HID Lamp, 7500K, PGJX50 Base (Quick Replacement for Entertainment)
The Philips MSR Gold 2000/2 FastFit is a short-arc metal halide lamp designed for moving heads and effects projectors in theater, concerts, and events. Its PGJX50 base with FastFit system allows for tool-free changes in seconds , reducing downtime. The MSR Gold™ series combines gold-plated pins with P3 technology , enabling operation at higher temperatures in any position , with stable light output throughout its lifespan. It delivers 157,000 lm (nominal) at 7,500 K with a CRI of 88 and an efficacy of 78 lm/W , producing a very bright and clean beam. It is dimmable with compatible HID ballasts and offers an average lifespan of 750 hours . Its compact dimensions and 8.0 mm arc optics ensure maximum intensity in professional lighting fixtures.
