Product Overview

The Philips MasterColor CDM series revolutionized retail lighting by combining the high efficiency of metal halide with the superior color rendering of ceramic technology. The T6 G12 model is 40% smaller than industry-standard HID lamps, allowing for smaller, more discrete fixture designs without sacrificing light intensity. With its FadeBlock™ technology, it is specifically designed to protect sensitive merchandise from UV-related damage.

• FadeBlock™ UV Protection: Features an integrated UV-blocking medium that significantly reduces the fading of fabrics, paintings, and other sensitive materials.
• Elite Color Stability: Maintains consistent light output and color within ±200K throughout the 12,000-hour rated life of the lamp.
• High-Quality Rendering: Provides crisp, vibrant light that enhances the visual appeal of retail displays and architectural textures.
• Compact T6 Design: The miniaturized form factor enables high-performance lighting in low-profile track heads and recessed downlights.
