Product Overview

The Sylvania 58996 FCL 500W/T3 is a high-output double-ended T3 quartz halogen lamp for work lights, portable flood fixtures, halogen torchieres, and commercial task lighting. At 500W with 8,750 initial lumens, CRI 100, and 2950K warm white output, this lamp delivers full-spectrum halogen illumination for work environments where brightness and color accuracy are both important.

The R7s double-ended base is the standard termination for tubular halogen work and flood lamps — both ends of the lamp seat into the fixture's spring-loaded R7s contacts. Confirm your fixture's R7s contact spacing matches the 4.7" MOL of this lamp before ordering. R7s lamps are available in multiple lengths (4.7", 5.9", 7.5") and these are not interchangeable. Do not exceed rated voltage — operating above 120V will significantly shorten lamp life.

Compatible Applications

Portable work lights and construction lighting — High-output 500W halogen source for job site, work area, and portable flood lighting on 120V circuits.
Halogen torchieres and floor lamps — T3 double-ended replacement for residential and commercial halogen floor lamps.
Commercial task and display lighting — High-CRI warm white output for commercial environments requiring accurate color rendering.
Retrofit and maintenance replacement — Confirm 4.7" R7s lamp length matches your fixture before ordering.

Before Ordering — Verify

Voltage: Confirm equipment is rated for 120V.
Wattage: Confirm the fixture is rated for 500W.
Lamp Length (MOL): Confirm your fixture's R7s contact spacing matches 4.7" — R7s lamps are length-specific and not interchangeable across different MOL sizes.
Color Temperature: Confirm 2950K warm white is appropriate for your application.

Safety and Handling Guidelines

Do not touch the quartz envelope with bare hands. Skin oils cause hot spots leading to premature failure or lamp burst. Use clean gloves or a lint-free cloth. If accidentally touched, clean with isopropyl alcohol before use.
Extreme Heat Warning: This lamp operates at very high surface temperatures. Keep all combustible materials away from the lamp and fixture. Use only in approved fixtures rated for 500W T3 halogen operation.
Do not exceed rated voltage. Operating above 120V will shorten lamp life and may cause lamp failure.
Allow Complete Cool-Down: Allow the lamp to cool fully before handling or replacement.
Disconnect Power Before Relamping.

Compliance

Verify RoHS compliance status and additional certifications with the Sylvania manufacturer specification sheet prior to use in regulated installations.
