Compatibility & Replacement

Fixture type: This ANSI ETC lamp fits professional stage and studio fixtures designed for a BA15d double contact bayonet base and 150W/120V halogen lamps. Common in smaller ellipsoidal spotlights, Fresnel fixtures, and specialty luminaires from manufacturers such as Altman, Strand, and Kliegl.

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

Before ordering, confirm:

• ANSI code – ETC: Verify your fixture specifies ANSI ETC or equivalent 150W/120V halogen lamp.
• Voltage – 120V: Verify fixture and supply circuit are 120V.
• Base type – BA15d: Physically inspect your existing lamp or fixture lampholder to confirm BA15d base.
• Physical dimensions: Verify your fixture accepts a T-4 bulb with 2.500-inch overall length and 0.500-inch diameter.
• Fixture wattage rating: Ensure fixture is rated for at least 150W.
• Burn position – universal: This lamp works in any orientation, but always follow fixture manufacturer guidelines.

Safety & Handling Notes

• High pressure warning – face shield required: Quartzline halogen 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 quartz 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 – universal: This lamp is rated for universal operation, but always follow your fixture manufacturer's specified orientation.
• 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.
