OSRAM ANNOUNCES THE RELEASE OF LOK-IT!® LAMP
Entertainment Lighting Manufacturer Introduces the First in a Series of Lok-it! Twist-lock Lamps

Las Vegas, Nev. (October 24, 2008) – OSRAM is pleased to announce the HTI® 1500W/60/P50 Lok-it!® single-ended, short-arc metal halide turnkey lamp.  This is the first in a series of Lok-it! plug and play lamps with a PGJX50 base.  It is the perfect solution for all discharge fixtures with PGJX50 lampholders capable of operating at 1200 to 1500 watts.  



Lok-it concept:

The Lok-it! lamp is based on versatility and reliability. The fundamental mounting principle is a bayonet system, which is comprised of the lamp base and holder for halogen lamps as well as for quartz and ceramic discharge lamps, making handling particularly easy.  Lok-it! allows for easy and safe lamp replacement within seconds with just one turn.  Simply insert, give the lamp a quarter turn and it is locked in position and accurately aligned.  A mechanical stop prevents the lamp from being turned too far.  Whether the specific application demands high efficiency, an extra long service life or maximum color rendering – Lok-it! provides the right solution for any stage show.

Applications:

• Follow Spots
• Intelligent Fixtures
• Stage, Studio, Television
• Club Lighting

“The OSRAM HTI 1500W/60/P50 Lok-it! lamp builds on the incredible success we have had with our SharXS® HTI 1500W /D7/60 double-ended lamp showcased last year.  We think people will be amazed when they see this lamp in action in two terrific new products being shown here at LDI 2008: The Martin MAC III Profile™ by Martin Professional, and the new CHAUVET Legend 1200E.  I hope you will visit their booths to see the latest innovation in plug and play lamps.”
