Product Overview

The Philips 24511-8 MSD 200 is a professional short-arc Metal Halide discharge lamp engineered for entertainment and stage lighting applications. At 200W with 13,500 initial lumens and 6000K daylight color temperature, it delivers the high-intensity, cool white output characteristic of professional moving head fixtures, follow spots, and large-venue production lighting systems.

The 6000K daylight color temperature produces crisp, neutral-to-cool white light well suited for theatrical productions, concerts, and broadcast environments where a bright, modern appearance is desired. Universal burn position allows installation in any orientation, providing flexibility across a wide range of fixture designs. A rated life of 3,000 hours is exceptional for a high-output short-arc entertainment lamp at this wattage.

Safety and Handling Guidelines

Compatible Electronic Ballast Required: Use only with a ballast specifically rated for MSD 200 lamp operation. Do not use with incompatible ballasts.
High Internal Pressure: Short-arc Metal Halide lamps operate under extreme internal pressure. Always wear safety glasses and protective gear when handling.
Do not touch the lamp envelope with bare hands. Skin oils cause hot spots. Use clean gloves or a lint-free cloth. If accidentally touched, clean with isopropyl alcohol before use.
Allow Cooling: Allow the lamp to cool completely before handling or removal.
Mercury Content: Contains mercury. Do not dispose of in regular trash. Recycle through an approved lamp recycling program. Visit lamprecycle.org for local options.

Compliance

Contains mercury — subject to applicable lamp recycling and disposal regulations. California, Washington, and other states may have mandatory take-back or handling fee requirements.
Verify RoHS compliance status and Prop 65 requirements with the Philips manufacturer specification sheet prior to use in regulated installations.
