Philips 360396 CDM-SA/T 150W/942

Product Overview

Philips 360396 CDM-SA/T 150W/942 – 150W Ceramic Metal Halide Lamp | 13,330 lm | 4200K | CRI 95 | G12 | 9,000 Hours

The Philips 360396 CDM-SA/T 150W/942 is a 150W ceramic metal halide lamp designed for dynamic architectural and architainment lighting applications requiring high beam intensity, excellent color rendering, and stable cool-white illumination. It delivers 13,330 nominal initial lumens at 4200K with a CRI of 95 and uses a G12 bi-pin base. The compact short-arc design supports precise optical control, while the ceramic discharge technology provides strong efficacy and consistent color performance. This lamp is non-dimmable and requires compatible control gear capable of supplying the specified lamp current and minimum ignition voltage. Please verify ballast, ignitor, G12 socket, fixture enclosure, and lamp designation before ordering.

Key Features & Benefits

High luminous efficacy produces more lumens per watt than standard architainment metal halide lamps.
Short-arc construction supports high beam intensity and precise optical control.
CRI 95 provides excellent color rendering for architectural and entertainment environments.
4200K cool-white color supports crisp, visually balanced illumination.
Universal operating position provides flexibility in compatible professional fixtures.
Ceramic discharge technology supports stable color and consistent lumen performance.

Product Overview

The Philips CDM-SA/T 150W/942 is a professional ceramic metal halide lamp developed for dynamic architectural and architainment systems requiring high intensity, strong efficacy, and excellent color quality. Its short arc and optimized lamp filling help produce a concentrated beam suitable for precision reflector systems.

The 942 color code combines a 4200K cool-white appearance with a CRI of 95, making this lamp appropriate for installations where architectural surfaces, finishes, and colors must appear accurate and consistent. The lamp produces 13,330 nominal initial lumens with a minimum specified output of 12,000 lumens.

This lamp requires compatible HID control gear and ignition equipment designed specifically for a 150W CDM-SA/T lamp. It is non-dimmable and should not be substituted with a different ceramic metal halide or quartz metal halide lamp solely on the basis of wattage or G12 base type.

Compatible Applications

Dynamic architectural lighting installations
Architainment and exterior visual-effect lighting
Architectural facade and feature lighting
Professional fixtures requiring a 150W G12 ceramic metal halide lamp
High-intensity accent systems designed for Philips CDM-SA/T lamps

Before Ordering – Verify

Order code: Confirm Philips order code 360396 and product name CDM-SA/T 150W/942 1CT/12.
Base: Verify that the fixture uses a G12 bi-pin ceramic metal halide socket.
Control gear: Confirm the ballast and ignitor are specifically rated for a 150W CDM-SA/T ceramic metal halide lamp.
Lamp current: Verify the control gear supplies the required 1.8A nominal lamp current.
Ignition requirement: Confirm the system can provide at least 198V ignition supply voltage as specified by Philips.
Color and CRI: This lamp is 4200K with CRI 95. Confirm that the 942 color code matches the application.
Dimming: This lamp is non-dimmable and should not be used with dimming control gear.
Operating position: Universal operation is permitted only in fixtures properly designed for this lamp.
Do not substitute by base alone: Other G12 metal halide lamps may differ in arc tube chemistry, current, ignition voltage, color, output, and ballast requirements.

Safety and Handling Guidelines

Disconnect electrical power and allow the lamp and fixture to cool before inspection, installation, or removal.
Operate only in fixtures designed for high-pressure ceramic metal halide lamps and equipped with the required protective enclosure.
Use only compatible ballast and ignition equipment rated for the Philips CDM-SA/T 150W lamp.
Do not operate the lamp on dimming equipment.
Avoid touching the lamp envelope with bare hands; clean any contamination according to the fixture or lamp manufacturer’s instructions.
Do not install a lamp that is cracked, scratched, damaged, or improperly seated in the G12 socket.
Observe the maximum bulb temperature of 650°C and maximum pinch temperature of 350°C when evaluating fixture suitability.
Follow all fixture manufacturer installation, cooling, relamping, and containment requirements.
