Hi everyone
I purchased 2x used Martin MAC 2000 Performance II fixture, which uses one of the two bulbs:
OR "ORSAM SHARXS HTI 1200 W/D7/60" (approved alternative)
https://www.osram.com/ecat/SharXS HTI-SharXS-Discharge lamps-Entertainment-Specialty Lighting/com/en/GPS01_1028452/ZMP_56307/
My questions:
1) On the Philips bulb website it says:
"Life to 50% Failures (Nom): 750 hours".
Does it mean that about 50% of the bulbs around 750 hours or so the bulb stops working?
2) Does anyone worked with this bulb on a regular basis? How often do they die, and after how many hours?
3) Do those bulbs explodes frequently? did anyone had experience with this bulb exploding?
4) If those bulbs explode in a middle of the show, do I have to evacuate the theater?
5) Which bulb is "better" (if any)? the Philips or the ORSAM one?
Thank you so much!!
