Plasma

The Plasma product line utilizes a plasma light source to deliver energy-efficient high intensity lighting with almost no thermal heating. SeaChanger Plasma products reduce total energy usage, provide brilliant 92 CRI light and consume only 320 watts of power to produce 10,000 lumens out of the fixture. The Plasma fixture comes equipped with a dimmer wheel to control the intensity of the light output. Because of its 15,000-hour lamp life, Plasma is the perfect solution for hard-to-reach installations, domes, atria and theme parks.

Plasma CTO

The Seachanger CTO was specifically developed for use in broadcast and film markets. It comes equipped with a dimmer wheel to control the intensity of the light output and a variable color correction wheel to adjust the color temperature from 5200°K to 3200°K. As in all of Seachanger Plasma products, the CTO boasts a 15,000-hour lamp life and a CRI of 92. The CTO is available in both Profile and Wash models.

Plasma Bulb

Here is the single 15,000 hour lamp used in the Plasma product lines. This 3mm bulb has no filaments and produces 10,000 lumens of light with a Color Rendering Index (CRI) of 92.

Eco-Friendly

SeaChanger Plasma products are designed to reduce total energy consumption and BTU demand, in a closed environment. To minimize environmental impact, Plasma lamp cores are recycled and reusable.

Operating Cost

The cost of operating Plasma is 77% less than that of a typical 750w tungsten fixture
Electricity cost of $0.27 /kWh
One Year = 10 hours use/day for 225 days (total of 2250 hours)
Maintenance includes lamp cost and replacement labor cost
