Additional HPL Long-life Lamps with 1,500 Hours of Life

LAS VEGAS, NV (Oct. 20, 2006) – Typically used in the entertainment sector, the life of the 230 and 240 V high-performance HPL halogen lamps has been significantly extended with long-life versions. With an average life of 1,500 hours, the 575 W lamp lasts four times as long as the standard lamp, while the 750 W lasts up to five times.

The new filament design is responsible for extending the life of these lamps.  While the luminous flux of the long-life versions measure about a fifth less than that of standard lamps, their ultra-compact filament geometry with an extremely small focal point ensures that the HPL series has a higher luminous efficacy than comparable lamps.

While designed for use in stage technology and television studios, particularly being well suited in the ellipsoidal spotlights of the Electric Theatre Controls (ETC) “Source Four Series®,” this longer life can now extend to other applications of the HPL.  With the new long-life versions and the resulting longer maintenance intervals, the HPL lamps are ideal for producing powerful architectural effects.
