Product Overview
The GE 88631 BVV-Q1MT7/4CL/MP is a high-output quartz-halogen lamp designed for stage, studio, theatrical, photographic, and compatible professional entertainment-lighting equipment. Its 3200K output corresponds with traditional tungsten-balanced production lighting.
The lamp uses a P40s mogul prefocus base that positions the filament accurately within compatible optical systems. Correct lamp alignment is essential for proper beam focus and thermal performance.
This is a high-wattage, pressurized quartz lamp that generates substantial heat and ultraviolet radiation. It must be used only in a properly rated enclosed fixture and operated within the specified base-down-to-horizontal burn-position range.
