Product Overview

The GE 88509 EGN is a 500-watt, 120-volt SSTV halogen lamp delivering 13,000 initial lumens at 3200K studio white with CRI 100. This professional-grade lamp is designed for stage, studio, and entertainment fixtures that require a G22 bi-post base. The 3200K color temperature matches broadcast camera white balance, while CRI 100 ensures perfect color rendering for film, video, and live production.

The C-13D filament and G22 base configuration make this ANSI EGN lamp compatible with specific professional luminaires. With a rated life of 200 hours, it is optimized for high-output applications where maximum brightness per watt is prioritized. The compact T-shaped bulb (0.75-inch diameter, 5.6-inch overall length) fits tight optical systems in ellipsoidal spotlights, follow spots, and Fresnel fixtures.

Why Choose This Product

• 13,000 lumens from 500W – high efficiency: Delivers 26 lumens per watt for a halogen source – bright and effective for key and fill lighting.
• ANSI EGN – industry-standard replacement: The EGN ANSI code guarantees consistent electrical and photometric performance for compatible fixtures.
• 3200K studio white – broadcast-matched color: Camera systems set to 3200K tungsten white balance reproduce colors accurately.
• CRI 100 – perfect color rendering: Continuous-spectrum halogen light ensures accurate color reproduction without spectral gaps.
• G22 bi-post base: Provides secure, high-current connection for reliable operation in professional luminaires.
• Base-down burn position: Rated for base-down orientation – verify fixture compatibility before ordering.

Compatibility & Replacement

Fixture type: This ANSI EGN lamp fits professional stage and studio fixtures designed for a G22 bi-post base and 500W/120V halogen lamps. Common in certain ellipsoidal spotlights, follow spots, and specialty luminaires.

Base: G22 – a two-pin bi-post base with 22mm spacing between contacts. Verify your fixture uses G22 lampholders (not G9.5, G38, or GX38).

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

Before ordering, confirm:

• ANSI code – EGN: Verify your fixture specifies ANSI EGN lamp type.
• Voltage – 120V: Verify fixture and supply circuit are 120V.
• Base type – G22: Physically confirm your fixture uses G22 bi-post lampholders.
• Physical dimensions: Verify your fixture accepts a bulb with 5.6-inch overall length and 0.75-inch diameter.
• Burn position – base down: This lamp is rated for base-down operation only. Do not use in horizontal or base-up fixtures.
• Fixture wattage rating: Ensure fixture is rated for at least 500W.

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 – base down only: This lamp is rated for base-down operation only. Incorrect orientation (horizontal or base-up) 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.
