OSRAM HTI 700W/D4/60 SharXS - Short Arc Metal Halide Lamp SFc10-4, 6000 K for Stage Lighting

The Osram HTI 700W/D4/60 SharXS is a professional 700W metal halide lamp with an extra-short 4mm arc, designed for high-performance projectors and moving heads in events, concerts, theater, television, and architectural applications. Its HTI (High Intensity Short Arc) technology and SharXS construction with an SFc10-4 base ensure precise installation and easy replacement between fixtures with the standard length of the family (≈136mm). It delivers a nominal luminous flux of 59,000 lm with a color temperature of 6000 K and a CRI ≥80 , offering a crisp white with good color rendering and a defined "punch" at long distances. It incorporates eXtreme Seal (XS) technology, which allows temperatures up to 450°C in the clamping zone and supports hot-restart , maintaining beam stability during performances.

Main features

• Power and arc : 700 W with extra short 4 mm arc for high luminance ( 60,000 cd/cm² ).
• Color and light quality : 6000 K, CRI ≥80 and 85 lm/W efficiency for a bright and consistent white.
• Optics and format : double SFc10-4 socket, universal burning position and standard length ≈136.0 mm (LCL 57.5 mm) for compatibility in SharXS equipment.
• Thermal robustness : XS technology with 450 °C max. in clamping for greater thermal margin in compact devices.
• Ignition : ignition voltage 3.0/25 kVp (cold/hot) with hot restrike capability.
• Lifespan : 750 hours nominal in professional use.
• UV safety : use only in a closed housing with suitable filters to reduce UV radiation.

Product benefits

• Maximum intensity per watt : the short arc concentrates the light where it is needed, ideal for defined beams and cutting effects.
• Consistency between teams : standardized SharXS dimensions and pre-focused base for optimal alignment and quick changes.
• Reliable operation : hot restart and high thermal tolerance for demanding shows and frequent cycles.
• Color “daylight” : 6000 K with CRI ≥80 for cameras, TV and stages where color matters.
• Integration flexibility : universal burning position and operation with suitable system ballast .

Use cases

• Lighting for concerts and tours with high-output projectors.
• Theatre , television and film , with consistent whites for cameras.
• Clubs, discos and architainment that require powerful and defined beams.
• Projections and accents in temporary architectural applications .

Frequently Asked Questions

Can it be hot-restired? Yes, the SharXS HTI series supports hot restrike , provided it is used with the appropriate control equipment.

Does it need an enclosed luminaire? Yes. Due to its high luminance, UV radiation, and internal pressure, it must always operate in enclosed housings with UV filtering and following the manufacturer's instructions.

What control equipment is required? A ballast compatible with 700 W/70 V HTI lamps must be used. Historical documentation indicates requirements for electronic (ECG) or magnetic (MCG) equipment; refer to the projector manual.

What is the nominal service life? Approximately 750 hours , subject to thermal regime, ignition cycles and usage conditions.

Safety and handling

• Wear eye protection and gloves when handling. Contains mercury ; dispose of as hazardous waste if broken.
• Install only in enclosed and well-ventilated light fixtures; keep within thermal limits.
• Do not touch the quartz bulb with your hands; clean with isopropyl alcohol if necessary.
