Osram Sylvania recently announced the release of a new halogen lamp for use in6″ and 8″ fresnels. The new high performance lamp, the BTH, uses the same socket base as a BTL lamp, a medium pre-focus base.

The BTH is a 575W lamp operating on 115V and is a direct replacement for the 500W, 120V BTL lamps, providing a brighter, whiter light with 30 percent more lumens and a higher color temperature.  Additionally, the rated output of the BTH of 15,500 lumens is much higher than the output of a BTL lamp at 11,000 lumens.  At an average rated life of 300 hours, the BTH has the same life as most major SSTV lamp types.
