Product Overview

Osram 54723 - EVW 250W 82V Halogen MR16 Projection Lamp
The Osram 54723 (ANSI Code: EVW) is a high-intensity 250-watt halogen reflector lamp designed for professional projection and optical systems. Operating at 82V, this MR16 lamp features a dichroic-coated reflector that directs brilliant 3300K light forward while allowing heat to dissipate through the back. It is the industry standard for 35mm slide projectors, overhead projectors, and specialized medical equipment.

⚠️ Critical Safety & Handling Notice
- Voltage Check: This is an 82V lamp. It is not compatible with standard 12V or 120V fixtures. Verify your equipment requirements before purchase.
- Handling: Never touch the inner quartz bulb or the reflector surface with bare fingers. Oils from skin cause "hot spots" that lead to premature lamp failure or shattering. Clean with alcohol if touched.
- Short Life Warning: Rated for 50 hours. High-intensity projection lamps prioritize brightness and color accuracy over long life.
- Enclosed Fixtures: Only for use in equipment designed for high-intensity halogen lamps.
