SYLVANIA 58736 | 150Q/MC (ETH) 150W 120V Halogen Miniature Candelabra Lamp
The Sylvania 58736 (150Q/MC ETH) is a professional-grade, line-voltage **150W tungsten halogen capsule lamp** designed for precision directional lighting. Operating directly at **120V**, this high-output bulb features a compact **T4 clear quartz glass body** paired with an **E11 Miniature Candelabra screw base** (commonly referred to as a mini-can connector). Engineered with a robust **CC-2V (Coiled Coil Vertical)** filament structure, this lamp generates **2700 initial lumens** of crisp, high-density **2950K Warm White** illumination. With a flawless color rendering index (**CRI 100**), it stands as the industry-standard choice for demanding stage, studio, theatrical, and premium commercial spot installations.

True-to-Life Color Accuracy and Seamless Dimming
Sylvania T4 miniature candelabra lamps are highly regarded across the professional entertainment and commercial sectors for their uncompromised optical consistency. Boasting a perfect **CRI 100**, this lamp replicates natural incandescent radiation, ensuring that stage actors, gallery artwork, apparel textures, and photographic subjects are displayed with maximum vibrancy and depth. Unlike many modern solid-state alternatives that struggle with spectral gaps or stepped dimming, this tungsten source dims down smoothly to 0% across standard incandescent or variable line-voltage dimmer systems.
- Instant-On Illumination: Powers directly to full lumen capacity upon startup without ignition delays or color warm-up shifts.
- Vertical Filament Optimization: The vertical CC-2V internal coil distribution ensures a tight, centered light focus, allowing reflector housings to direct beam angles accurately.
- Sleek Low-Profile Footprint: Measuring just 3 inches in length by a half-inch in diameter, this bulb slips easily into downscaled directional tracks and specialized micro-luminaires.
- Reliable Thermal Lifespan: Engineered to provide a stable, balanced **2,000-hour average rated life** when operated under correct installation conditions.

Critical Handling, Safety, & System Maintenance
- Quartz Envelope Protection: Never handle the clear quartz outer jacket with bare fingers. Skin oils leave residues that create localized hotspots on the glass, causing the capsule to blister, cloud, or prematurely fail. Always handle using gloves or a completely clean cloth. If touched accidentally, clean the glass with rubbing alcohol before firing line current.
- Thermal and Fixture Compliance: Halogen capsules generate high operating temperatures during standard cycles. Ensure the fixture housing has adequate convective ventilation and airflow. Use strictly with enclosures explicitly rated to handle the electrical load and heat of a 150W line-voltage halogen bulb. Always allow the system to cool completely before performing a removal or replacement.
