Philips 6995Y 1000W 120V G38 CYV

The Philips CYV/T7 318923 Lamp is a professional-grade, high-intensity 1000W 120V single-ended halogen studio and photo-optic bulb engineered for television broadcast sets, theatrical fresnel spots, cinematic stage sets, and high-clearance optical projection systems. Delivering a powerful 27,500 initial lumens of precise 3200K warm white output across an elite 100 CRI full tungsten-halogen spectrum, this performance tube relies on a robust **G13/G38 large bi-post base** configuration and a clear T7 quartz glass envelope. It features a precision-formed C-13D planar grid filament designed to provide unmatched beam control over a reliable 175–200 hour operational lifecycle.

ADL Supply Expert Application & Replacement Guide

The Philips CYV/T7 (Order Code 318923) is an industry-standard entertainment and television broadcast production baseline specified heavily across stage fresnel spotlights, theatrical ellipsoidal reflectors, profile follow spots, and high-intensity photo softboxes. Delivering an exact 3200K tungsten color temperature structure, it guarantees absolute consistency during high-speed studio camera white balance and chromatic grading workflows, preserving reliable color depth without introducing early tracking drifts.

Critical G38 Bi-Post Mechanical Mounting Controls and Circuit Load Verification: Studio technicians and theatrical stage electricians executing re-lamping procedures must observe structural base mechanics closely: the G38 base consists of two large, solid brass posts spaced 38mm apart—it does not twist or thread into position. Slide the prongs straight down vertically into the receiver slot of the fixture's ceramic block, ensuring the pins slide past internal split clamps. If the lampholder housing incorporates an external thumbscrew latch lock, tighten it firmly down to eliminate structural pin play. Loose contact paths generate extreme resistance heating under high-amperage continuous loads, resulting in terminal arcing or socket crystallization.

Operating at 1000W over a standard 120V circuit, this high-wattage lamp draws a continuous line current of **8.33 Amperes**. Always run your studio luminaires over dedicated branch networks backed by a minimum 20A circuit rating, ensuring all associated cable trunks, ceramic blocks, and fixture tracking modules are fully rated to withstand immense continuous thermal output limits. Production spaces should log operational run hours; swapping lamps before hitting the 175-hour limit prevents sudden capsule rupture during active live broadcast operations.

Operation, Safety & Mounting Compliance

Quartz Glass Handling, Thermal Safeguards & Surface Protection

Never permit bare skin or fingers to touch the raw quartz glass capsule. Human skin contains natural moisture and tracking oils that bond permanently to the crystalline structures of quartz during high thermal cycling phases. When the bulb hits extreme operating temperatures within seconds of ignition, these oil deposits induce a chemical reaction known as thermal devitrification. This crystallizes the quartz wall, creating localized hot spots that promote structural swelling, clouding, or early catastrophic explosion under high pressure.

Always handle the lamp using clean cotton installation gloves, a lint-free shop microfiber cloth, or the factory protective foam shroud wrapper. If the glass body makes accidental contact with bare skin during unpacking, wash the envelope completely with high-purity isopropyl alcohol and allow it to dry fully before loading power into the circuit loop. Following a system shutdown, allow the fixture to sit unbothered for at least 15 minutes to dissipate extreme thermal tracking heat before executing any maintenance or adjustment procedures.
