MHN-SB Pro 2000W Long Life

For sports lighting applications, Life & Reliability is key. Most of the installations have a limited number of burning hours per year, though during these hours a very limited failure-rate is acceptable Introduction

A few lamp-manufacturers offer 2000W Short Arc lamps, though the majority has a very short lifetime, meaning very high Costs of Ownership : - frequent high exchange costs - frequent hassle / dark spots and…… lack of confidence that the installation will perform properly during the match to come…… Introduction

Philips set a target to come up with a lamp: 1.Having the best lifetime and reliability as offered by benchmark competition, while….. 2.Having the same mechanical and electrical specifications as benchmark competition From June 2004 onwards, this lamp is available and known as: MHN-SB Pro 2000W 400V 956 Long Life Introduction

The naming ‘SB’, Short Base, clearly expresses the Shorter outer-dimensions of the new lamp compared to the well-known existing Master MHN-SA 2000W lamps Specification MHN-SB Pro 2000W Long Life; ‘single pinch’ technology Master MHN-SA 2000W; ‘double pinch’ technology’

Practical Advice Luminaires need to be properly designed for the very high temperatures in these 2000 W systems. This is valid for all kind of 2000 W lamps available in the market Luminaires which are not designed properly, will get polluted. This results in the need for regular cleaning of the entire luminaire. Polluted luminaires will result in shorter lamp-life
