64540 OSRAM 650W 230V GX6,35 P1/13 3400°K 15ore

Professional applications and compatibility

The OSRAM 64540 lamp has been designed to be compatible with a wide range of professional equipment for stage and television lighting. It is particularly suitable for spotlights produced by leading industry brands such as Coemar, TAS and Teatro, as well as for slide projectors that require a powerful and reliable light source.

Single-ended halogen lamps like the 64540 are the preferred choice for various applications:

• Theater and stage: main stage lighting and wash lighting for theatrical performances, concerts, and live shows
• Television and film productions: lighting for television sets and professional video recordings requiring high luminous power
• Events and shows: concerts, corporate events, and exhibitions requiring professional and controllable lighting
• Projections: slide projectors and projection equipment requiring an intense light source

The versatility of this lamp makes it suitable for both fixed installations in theaters and auditoriums, and for mobile applications in touring events and temporary productions.

Advantages of professional halogen technology

Halogen lamps like the OSRAM 64540 offer several advantages that still make them a preferred choice in professional settings today, despite advances in LED technology. The color rendering of halogen lamps reaches a CRI value of 100, offering maximum fidelity in color reproduction, a fundamental aspect for theatrical and television applications where color perception must be perfect.

Another significant advantage is full dimmability: halogen lamps can be adjusted from 0 to 100% of light intensity without alterations in color tone, allowing lighting designers to create customized atmospheres and smooth transitions during performances. This feature is supported by the use of professional dimmers and DMX control systems.

The main distinctive characteristics include:

• Instant start-up at full brightness without warm-up times
• Warm and bright light that enhances illuminated environments and objects
• Compatibility with professional lighting control systems
• Absence of mercury and harmful substances in the composition

Comparison with other lighting solutions

When choosing a lamp for professional applications, it is important to consider the alternatives available on the market. Compared to discharge lamps, halogen lamps offer immediate start-up and better dimmability, while discharge lamps guarantee greater energy efficiency for even higher power levels.

LED lamps represent the most recent technology and offer significant energy savings and much longer life. However, for applications where light quality, perfect color rendering, and smooth dimmability are priorities, professional halogen lamps like the OSRAM 64540 maintain an irreplaceable role.

The choice between different technologies depends on the specific needs of the project: available budget, type of application, frequency of use, and light quality requirements. For historic theaters and productions requiring maximum color fidelity, halogen lamps remain a reliable and proven solution.

Installation and maintenance of the OSRAM 64540 lamp

Installation of the OSRAM 64540 lamp requires some precautions to ensure safety and optimal durability. Before proceeding with replacement, it is essential to ensure that the fixture is completely switched off and cooled down, since halogen lamps reach very high temperatures during operation.

During handling, it is advisable to wear clean gloves to avoid touching the quartz bulb with bare hands: skin grease can cause localized overheating points that drastically reduce the lamp's lifespan. Once installed, always verify that the GX6.35 base is correctly inserted in the lamp holder and that there are no movements or play that could compromise its stability.

Routine maintenance includes periodic cleaning of lighting fixtures and verification of electrical connections, as well as scheduled replacement of lamps based on hours of use to avoid sudden shutdowns during important events.
