Technical Specifications

Product Overview

The Philips MSR Platinum 35 is a 773W professional short arc metal halide lamp engineered for the latest generation of compact, high-output moving head beam and spot fixtures used in concert touring, theatrical production, and large-scale event lighting. The exceptionally short 3.0mm arc produces a near-point source that enables tight beam control, sharp gobo projection, and high-contrast shadow definition in compact fixture designs — a critical capability for smaller, lighter moving heads where optical precision is constrained by fixture size.

At 53,300 lumens, 8500K, and 73 CRI, the MSR Platinum 35 delivers an extremely high-intensity cool daylight output suited to professional stage beam effects and wash lighting. The 8500K color temperature is significantly cooler than standard 6000K daylight lamps, producing a crisp, blue-white beam that reads distinctly from warm follow spots or tungsten fills — this is an intentional design characteristic, not a standard daylight match. Fixture color correction (via CMY or color wheel) is typically used to adjust the output as needed for specific lighting designs.

The PGJX36 base is a Philips-specific connector for the Platinum series and is not interchangeable with other MSR base types. The lamp requires a dedicated electronic ballast and ignitor designed for the MSR Platinum 35 platform — it cannot be operated on standard MSR 700 or MSR 575 ballasts. With a 1,000-hour L50 rated life, universal burn position, and dimmable operation, the lamp is built for the demands of professional touring and repertory production schedules.

Compatible Applications

• Professional moving head beam and spot fixtures designed for the MSR Platinum 35 platform
• Concert touring and live event stage lighting
• Theatrical production and repertory stage systems
• Large-scale architectural and display event lighting
• Any professional entertainment fixture specifically rated for MSR Platinum 35 1CT lamps

Before Ordering – Verify

• Fixture compatibility: The MSR Platinum 35 is designed for specific next-generation fixture platforms; it is not a drop-in replacement for MSR 575 HR, MSR 700/2, or other MSR family lamps. Confirm the fixture manufacturer’s lamp specification before ordering.
• Base type: PGJX36. This is a Philips-specific base connector. Confirm the fixture socket matches before ordering; PGJX36 is not compatible with G22, G38, GX9.5, GY9.5, or other professional entertainment lamp bases.
• CCT: 8500K. This lamp produces a cool daylight / blue-white output significantly cooler than standard 6000K daylight sources. This is the designed operating point, not a manufacturing variance. Fixture CMY or color wheel correction is standard practice for adjusting the output temperature on stage.
• CRI: 73. This is adequate for stage beam and wash effects but may not meet color rendering requirements for film/TV camera-critical applications where 85+ CRI is typically specified. Confirm the CRI meets the production’s requirements before specifying.
• Power consumption: 773W. Confirm the fixture’s internal ballast and power supply are rated for this exact lamp; do not substitute into fixtures designed for 575W or 700W MSR lamps.

Safety and Handling Guidelines

• This lamp contains mercury; do not dispose of in municipal solid waste — recycle per applicable regulations. Per Philips datasheet: if a lamp breaks, ventilate the room for 30 minutes, remove parts with gloves, place in a sealed plastic bag, and take to local waste facilities. Do not use a vacuum cleaner.
• This lamp operates under extreme internal pressure and emits high levels of UV radiation; it must be operated exclusively in fully enclosed professional fixtures with UV-shielding glass
• Do not touch the quartz envelope with bare skin; handle by the base using clean cotton gloves. Clean with denatured alcohol if contact occurs before installation.
• Allow the fixture to cool adequately before relamping; the lamp and fixture components reach extreme temperatures during operation
• Confirm the fixture’s cooling system is fully operational before energizing; the lamp requires adequate forced-air cooling to achieve rated life

Compliance

• CE Mark: Yes (Philips/Signify)
• Contains mercury — subject to federal and state lamp disposal and recycling regulations
• For professional entertainment use only — not for general commercial or residential lighting
