OSRAM HMI DIGITAL 1200 W/SEL UVS - Single-cap HMI lamp with UV-Stop and G38 base

OSRAM HMI DIGITAL 1200 W/SEL UVS - Single-cap HMI lamp with UV-Stop and G38 base

The OSRAM HMI DIGITAL 1200 W/SEL UVS is a single-ended ( G38 base) metal halide lamp designed for professional film, television, photography, and stage applications. It delivers an approximate luminous flux of 110,000 lm with a color temperature of ~6,000 K (daylight) and a CRI > 90 for accurate color rendering. The HMI DIGITAL family incorporates quartz with UV-Stop (UVS) , which significantly reduces ultraviolet emissions, and is optimized for use with high-frequency electronic ballasts , achieving flicker reduction even at high refresh rates (≈1,000 Hz or higher) . It offers hot-restart capability , a luminous efficacy of up to 100 lm/W , and a typical average lifespan of 1,000 h , with a universal burn-in position for easy integration into various 1.2 kW HMI projectors.

Main features

• Stable daylight : ~6,000 K with CRI > 90 for natural skin and colors in camera.
• Very high output : around 110,000 lumens with efficiency up to 100 lm/W .
• UV-Stop (UVS) : doped quartz enclosure that reduces UV emissions, helping to protect optics and technical personnel.
• Less flicker : reliable performance with high-frequency electronic ballasts (≈1,000 Hz or more), ideal for slow motion and digital capture.
• Hot restart : allows you to turn the device back on after it has been turned off without waiting for it to cool down completely.
• Flexible installation : universal burn position and G38 socket.
• Robust construction geared towards professional use in filming and touring.

Product benefits

• Consistent color and natural contrast on digital sensors and film, reducing corrections in post-production.
• Fewer flicker artifacts in high-speed , maintaining clean slow-motion shots.
• Greater operational safety thanks to UV-Stop and the engineering of the DIGITAL HMI line.
• Productivity in set due to hot reignition and universal burn position.
• Lighting cost optimized by its high efficiency (up to 100 lm/W) compared to less efficient technologies.

Use cases

• Film and television shoots in studio or outdoors that require daylight.
• Stage and live event lighting where high performance and stable color are required.
• Professional photography and slow motion with high-frequency electronic ballasts.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Does it need a ballast? Yes, it requires an electronic ballast compatible with 100V/1200W HMI lamps to take advantage of flicker reduction.
• Can it be mounted in any orientation? Yes, it has a universal burning position .
• What base does it use? G38 (mogul bipost) , standard on many 1.2 kW HMI heads.
• Color temperature? Approximately 6,000 K (daylight) with CRI > 90 .
• Typical lifespan? Around 1,000 hours under nominal conditions.

Usage and safety recommendations

• Always operate with compatible equipment and luminaires for 1.2 kW HMI lamps and with UV protections of the projector in place.
• Avoid touching the quartz bulb with your fingers; wear clean gloves during installation.
• Periodically check usage hours and replace when photometric performance declines.
