GE's New SHOWBIZ® CSR STAYBRIGHT® Lamps Cater to Event Lighting Industry with Superior Beam Lumen Maintenance

CLEVELAND – As the need for versatile event lighting grows, GE Consumer & Industrial's SHOWBIZ® CSR short-arc metal halide lamp line expands with the SHOWBIZ® CSR1200 and CSR1500 STAYBRIGHT® lamps: CSR1200/S/DE/60S and CSR1500/S/DE/60S. These convenient, double-ended metal halide lamps provide greater than 85 percent beam lumen maintenance at 500 hours of operation in most major moving-lights fixtures. This is a significant improvement to the standard 1200 and 1500-watt 138mm double-ended lamps available in the marketplace today.

SHOWBIZ® CSR STAYBRIGHT® lamps offer superior performance with a rated life of 750 hours and a convenient lamp design. The CSR STAYBRIGHT® lamps also offer a variety of features to create daylight color temperatures for stage productions, concerts, architectural lighting or any venue that requires moving-lights or intelligent lighting fixtures. The lamps come in the most widely used color temperature of 6000 Kelvin with a color-rendering index (CRI) of 85.

Precise proprietary chemical dosing in all SHOWBIZ® CSR lamps produces stable lamp color temperatures over the life of the products, and ensures consistent performance in all types of fixtures. In addition, SHOWBIZ® CSR STAYBRIGHT® lamps can be used on electronic or AC magnetic ballasts/igniters.

Developed through the GE Six Sigma process, these SHOWBIZ® CSR lamps further expand GE's full range of high-performance stage and studio lamps. Like every SHOWBIZ® product, SHOWBIZ® CSR lamps incorporate the latest lighting technologies.
