Belgium - For the entertainment lighting industry Philips has developed double-ended lamps with "golden" lamp caps, called MSR Gold. The new MSR lamps put pure colors on stage, based on pure white light. Next to that, the latest HID lamp filling technology creates a color consistency for the whole MSR range (double-ended as well as single ended lamps). The MSR Gold lamps are the latest solution for demanding stage performances.The double-ended lamps are now equipped with gold-plated lamp caps allowing higher cap temperatures (up to 400°C) reducing lamp (holder) damage. The golden lamps also feature the patented Philips P3 pinch protection allowing pinch temperatures up to 500°C. The MSR SA/DE GOLD range is already available in 400W and 1200W, to be followed soon by the 700W.
