This lamp has been used for many kinds of projector lamp applications from
various manufacturers for many years. It has a common shape that's been
the design of many types of higher wattage lamps. The base of EYB
projector lamps have a two posts or connection points that have a slightly
different diameter for each one. That makes it virtually impossible to put
them in wrong or to use them in projector they're not designed for. Because visual communication
is important and stage lighting has special needs, these lamps will probably be
used long into the future. There are a variety of stage equipment
and projectors which
use the EYB lamp, and they have a similar task which is to illuminate. The brightness, as most people call it, needs to be adequate for dramatic
presentations as well as simple overhead presentation viewing. The EYB lamps
are not only used in projection equipment, but also for stage lighting
applications as well. One of the reasons they're used in studios or stages
is that they have a color temperature of 3250K which is desired by most
production companies.
All of the EYB projector lamps regardless of the brand, have the same shape.
That's one of the reasons they're not interchangeable with other types of
projection lamps. Almost always, the
voltages of projection lamps are different and the lumen output as well. The
EYB lamps are 360 watts and 82 volt. 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 EYB which has a ceramic base. 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 75 hours, so
it's good to turn off the lamp when it's not in use. Another caution is
that these bulbs should not be touched with your skin. The skin oils can react
with the glass and there can be some reactions which will shorten the lamp life.
Still another thing to remember when replacing these is that they are
identified by a 3 letter code on the ceramic base itself. Sometimes you'll see a code such as
EYB as described here or another
type with the letters ENX, FXL,
DAY, DYS, EVD, EVW or
something similar to that. The ANSI 3 letter code identifies that bulb as to the
shape, wattage, voltage and any other standard information. We have two of the best manufacturers of all
types which are Sylvania and Eiko. The EYB has been specified throughout
the world and there are so many different kinds of equipment that it could get
confusing, but as long as you stick with the three letter code, you will
get the exact bulb you need.
In summary, EYB projector bulbs are used specifically for projector, stage and studio light
fixtures. 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
can get what you need from eLightBulbs. We have a large inventory
of projector bulbs for nearly every type of lighting application in the field. If
you need help identifying a projector bulb, our customer service
representatives can help you determine what you have.
