Philips FastFit for both halogen and HID: Fast replacement and adjustment aren't the only benefits, the overall lamp length, including the lamp holder, can be reduced by more than 25%. This makes more compact and lighter fixture designs possible. Furthermore, the FastFit technology will be used for both HID and Halogen lamps that brings about multi-usage of the fixture.
In close partnership, several leading manufacturers are introducing fixtures suitable for the innovative lamp base system for various applications in the market. During this year, several FastFit-based fixtures for halogen and HID lamps will be launched.
The compact single ended Philips MSR Gold SA/SE lamp with a very short arc creates up to 30% higher brightness compared to current available light sources. Next to that it brings the purest possible white color on stage thanks to the MSR Gold customized HID lamp filling. MSR range includes the patented Philips P3 technology. This provides greater reliability; improved quality and freedom in any burning position by special chromium pinch coating. The Golden lamp pins ensure the best possible current transfer, even at the highest temperatures, says the company.
