Philips MSR 2000 SA (GY22) - 2000W, 6000K Short Arc Lamp for Show and Theatre
The Philips MSR 2000 SA belongs to the MSR Short Arc family and is designed for professional luminaires where maximum beam intensity is required in a compact form factor. Its short arc and GY22 base allow for precise optical control and easy integration into high-performance projectors. Thanks to Philips P3 technology , the lamp can operate at higher temperatures and in a universal position , offering a 750-hour average lifespan , a stable 6,000 K color temperature , and a CRI of 85 with a luminous flux of 174,000 lm . It is dimmable with compatible equipment and maintains consistent output throughout its lifespan, reducing early failures and downtime.
