Product Overview

The GE 42697 CYV Quartzline Halogen Lamp is a 120-watt, 120-volt SSTV lamp delivering 28,500 initial lumens at 3200K studio white with CRI 100. This high-output halogen source is designed for professional stage, studio, and entertainment lighting fixtures requiring compact, intense light with perfect color rendering.

The G38 mogul bi-post base provides secure electrical and mechanical contact, while the C-13 filament configuration is optimized for specific optical systems in professional luminaires. With a 200-hour rated life, this lamp is ideal for applications where maximum lumen output per watt is prioritized over extended life – typical in high-intensity follow spots, ellipsoidal spotlights, and Fresnel fixtures.

Compatibility & Replacement

Fixture type: This ANSI CYV lamp fits professional stage and studio fixtures designed for a G38 mogul bi-post base and 120W/120V halogen lamps. Common in certain ellipsoidal spotlights, follow spots, and specialty luminaires from manufacturers like Altman, Strand, and Selecon.

Base: G38 mogul bi-post – a two-pin base with 38mm spacing between contacts, larger than G9.5/GY9.5. Confirm your fixture uses G38 lampholders.

Ballast: No ballast required – operates directly on 120V mains power.

Before ordering, confirm:

• ANSI code – CYV: Verify your fixture specifies ANSI CYV lamp type.
• Voltage – 120V: Verify fixture and supply circuit are 120V.
• Base type – G38: Physically confirm your fixture uses G38 mogul bi-post lampholders (not G9.5, GX38, or other variants).
• Physical dimensions: Verify your fixture accepts a T7 bulb with 203mm overall length and 21.6mm diameter.
• Fixture wattage rating: Ensure fixture is rated for at least 120W.
• Burn position: Consult fixture documentation for approved orientation – not specified by manufacturer for this lamp.

Safety & Handling Notes

• High pressure warning – face shield required: SSTV lamps operate under high internal pressure. Always wear a face shield and protective gloves during handling and installation. Lamp burst can cause serious injury.
• No bare hands: Never touch the bulb envelope with bare skin. Oils cause hot spots leading to premature failure or lamp burst. Use clean gloves or a lint-free cloth.
• Do not exceed rated voltage: Operating above 120V dramatically shortens lamp life. Verify supply voltage before installing.
• Burn position: Observe the rated burn position as specified by your fixture. Incorrect orientation can cause premature failure or lamp burst.
• Extreme heat and UV output: Use only in approved enclosed luminaires with appropriate UV filtering.
• Allow complete cool-down before handling: Allow lamp to cool completely before relamping. Do not touch immediately after switching off.
• Follow your fixture manufacturer's service documentation for lamp replacement procedures.
