The Philips MSR 2000 SA (Short Arc) is a professional-grade 2000-watt metal halide lamp engineered for high-intensity stage, concert, and studio lighting. Delivering a massive 174,000 lumens with a crisp 6000K cool white output, this lamp provides the brilliant, daylight-balanced light required for large-scale entertainment venues. Featuring Philips' proprietary P3 technology, it allows for higher pinch temperatures and a universal operating position, ensuring reliability and consistent performance in any fixture orientation. With an 85 CRI for vivid color rendering and a compact GY22 bi-pin base, it is the trusted light source for high-performance luminaires like the Coemar CF 1200 HE and High End Cyberlight 2.0.

Product Overview

The MSR 2000 SA (Order Code: 928173205114) stands out in the professional lighting industry for its high luminous efficacy of 87 lm/W and its ability to maintain high beam intensity through a very short 7.0mm arc length. This compact design allows luminaire manufacturers to create smaller, more efficient fixtures without sacrificing power. The combination of high color rendering (85 CRI) and daylight-balanced 6000K output makes it indispensable for live broadcast, studio recording, and high-energy concert touring, where accurate skin tones and vibrant set colors are non-negotiable.
