HRI 330W X8 SIRIUS OSRAM

Competitive Advantages

The pre-aligned reflector design allows for lamp replacement in seconds, ensuring maximum luminous output every time without the need for complex manual calibrations. With a CRI of Ra 85, the X8 offers superior color fidelity compared to standard discharge lamps, making gel and gobo colors appear more vivid and natural.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Can I install the HRI 330W X8 in any 330W moving head?

No. Although the wattage is standard, the X8 version features voltage and current specifications (4.4 A) optimized for specific power supplies (e.g., Clay Paky). Always verify the electronic driver compatibility in the fixture's manual to avoid flickering or premature failure.

What is the difference between the OSRAM SIRIUS HRI 330W X8 and standard 330W versions?

The X8 version stands out due to optimized luminous efficiency and superior arc stability. While many 330W lamps peak at 15,000 lumens, the X8 reaches 18,000 lm. Additionally, the Sirius HRI reflector system is designed to dissipate heat more efficiently, reducing thermal stress on the projector's lenses compared to generic models.

Why does my Clay Paky Sharpy Plus show a lamp error with a new HRI 330W X8?

If the lamp is new, the error may result from failing to reset the hour counter in the fixture's menu or a firmware incompatibility with the ballast. Ensure that electrical contacts are tightened correctly: the X8 operates at 4.4 A, and any contact resistance can cause voltage drops that the control system interprets as a fault.

Is the OSRAM SIRIUS HRI 330W X8 dimmable?

Sirius HRI series discharge lamps are not electronically dimmable via supply voltage. Luminous intensity adjustment (dimming) must be performed exclusively through the mechanical shutter (shutter/dimmer blades) integrated into the projector. Attempting to reduce electrical power would cause immediate arc extinction and potential damage to the ballast.
