Quick guide from the manual
This document provides technical specifications and application guidance for Philips halogen non-reflector lamps. These lamps are designed for high-quality light output in specialized equipment such as projectors, microscopes, and medical lighting. Users should verify the specific voltage, wattage, and base type (G6.35 or GY6.35) required for their equipment before installation.
Product Description
Philips halogen non-reflector lamps feature a distortion-free quartz bulb and precisely defined filament positioning. They are designed to provide consistent light output and a Color Rendering Index (CRI) of 100, mimicking natural light. The XHP versions utilize xenon gas for maximum light output.
Applications
These lamps are intended for use in professional and technical environments, including:
- Studio, film, theatre, and disco lighting
- Slide, overhead, profile, and 8/16 mm film projectors
- Microscopes and optical equipment
- Surgery and dental lamps
- Microfilm readers and spectrography
Installation and Operation
Lamps are designed for easy installation and replacement without the need for further adjustment. Ensure the operating position is S90. Always handle quartz bulbs with care to avoid contamination, which can affect performance and longevity.

Common problems
Inconsistent light output or premature failure
Ensure the lamp is correctly seated in the socket and that the voltage supplied matches the lamp's rated voltage (12V, 17V, or 24V).
Incorrect lamp fitment
Verify the base type (G6.35 vs GY6.35) and physical dimensions (D, L, P, C) against the dimensional drawing provided in the manual before purchase.
Before use
- Verify the required voltage (12V, 17V, or 24V) for your specific equipment.
- Confirm the base type (G6.35 or GY6.35) matches your socket.
- Check the power rating (W) to ensure compatibility with your device's transformer.
- Ensure the operating position is set to S90.
Specs in practice
- CRI (Color Rendering Index)
- A value of 100 indicates the lamp provides light quality identical to natural light.
- Luminous Flux
- Measured in lumens (lm), indicating the total light output of the lamp.
- Life To 50% Failures
- The nominal lifespan of the lamp in hours before 50% of the population is expected to fail.
Images and diagrams
- The dimensional drawing illustrates the critical measurements: D (diameter), L (length), P (pin dimensions), and C (overall length).
- Use the provided table to match your specific product code to these dimensions to ensure a proper fit.
Model compatibility
- Lamps are specific to projection and optical equipment; do not use in standard household fixtures unless specified.
- Ensure the equipment transformer supports the specific voltage and wattage of the chosen lamp.
