It's been used in many types of applications including stage and
studio and regular projectors, the BVE projector lamps have been a popular
choice.
These are made with a special shape which has a two
prong base, one which is thicker than the other as well as longer. Because visual communication
is important and stage lighting has special needs, these lamps will be a common
request in the coming years. There are a variety of stage equipment
and projectors which
use the BVE lamp. The main purpose for a bulb like
this is creates a lot of light in a small space allowing for greater lighting
control.
The brightness, as most people call it, needs to be adequate for dramatic
presentations as well as stage productions.
All of the BVE lamps regardless of the brand, have the same shape, that
includes Sylvania, Philips or Eiko. The BVE
projector lamps are 625 watts and 120 volt. In regards to
the base, the BVE is very unique. The base will almost certainly not fit
in any other kind of socket. This lamp is very specific for the
application it's used in, so don't go looking for a replacement of some other
type, simply replace it with another BVE. Another thing to remember,
because these have a high light output, that usually means they have a much
shorter life. The life is shorter, the rating is only 50 hours, so it's
good to turn off the lamp when it's not in use. The color temperature is
3350K which makes it ideal for many types of presentations or studio needs.
As with all projector lamps, they are
identified by a three letter code on the bulb itself. You'll see it somewhere
on the top or the base which sometimes has other information there as well. Sometimes you'll see a code such as
BVE as described here or another
type with the letters ENX, DYS,
DAY, FHS, DDM, EVW or something similar to that. The ANSI three letter code
identifies that bulb as to the shape, wattage, voltage and any other standard
information. Unlike other types of bulbs, these have some standards across
various manufacturers, the only thing that varies is quality. We prefer to
sell the Sylvania brand as they seem to offer the best performance and the
longest life.
In summary, BVE lamps are used specifically for stage and studio light
fixtures and overhead projectors they
are made to operate with. Of course, you will need
projectors that will have the correct voltage and socket
for these projector bulbs. Whatever type of projection lamp you have, you
