00:00So your moving head just went dark mid-show, and now you're staring at a dead lamp wondering if
00:04you need to re-mortgage the house to replace it. Been there. I've spent the last couple of weeks
00:10digging through listings, comparing specs, and reading way too many reviews, and I've pulled
00:14together the top 5 replacement moving head beam lamps that people are actually buying and actually
00:19loving. And honestly? The prices surprised me. Let's get into it. First up, the 295 Watt Sirius
00:29HRI lamp, compatible with the MSD14 Air Platinum and Sharpie 14 Air fixtures. This one's the crowd
00:36favorite, with over 4,800 units sold and a perfect 5-star rating, which is not something you see
00:41every day. What I like about it is the balance, 295 Watt's gives you that tight, punchy beam without
00:47cooking your fixture the way some overdriven bulbs do. And it's $15.21. 15 bucks. If you've priced
00:57these from a lighting distributor, you know the original is easily 5 or 6 times that. Solid pick
01:03if you're running 14 airheads. Next, the 330 Watt MSD Platinum 16R, also badged as a Sirius HRI 330.
01:12This is the step up in output, and you feel it the second you fire it up, noticeably brighter,
01:17tighter, and it holds its color temperature really nicely through the beam. Over 4,300 sold and another
01:23perfect 5-star average, so people clearly aren't having issues with it. $17.19. That's the price of
01:32a couple of coffees for a lamp that's the heart of your whole fixture. If you're running 16R Sharpie
01:38style heads, this is the one I'd grab. Now, if you're on older gear, the 230 Watt Sharpie 7R is
01:45still
01:45everywhere, and this one's the budget champion of the list. $10.05. 10 bucks. It's rated 4.8 stars with
01:55over 4,300 sold, and the thing people keep mentioning is the brightness it punches well
01:59above what you'd expect at this price. The 7R is still one of the most common lamps in the world
02:05for
02:05beam fixtures, so if you've got a rig full of them, buy a couple of spares. At $10, having a
02:11backup in
02:12the road case is just common sense. If you want the big gun, here's the 18 or 380 Watt MSD
02:18Platinum.
02:19This is the high output option, 380 watts of raw punch with a glass cup reflector, and it's built
02:25for those long throw beam fixtures where you need the beam to actually reach the back of the room and
02:29still look tight. It's rated 4.8 with nearly 3,900 sold, and again, 17.19. Think about that,
02:37the most powerful lamp on this list costs the same as the 16R. If you're running 18 or heads for
02:43bigger
02:44venues or outdoor stuff, that's a genuinely great deal. And rounding it out, the 12 or 280 Watt
02:50single-ended beam lamp. This one's kind of the sweet spot for a lot of mid-size fixtures, more
02:56output than a 7R, less heat and power draw than a 16R, and the single-ended design mix swapping it
03:01out
03:01pretty painless. 5-star rating, over 3,800 sold, and it's the cheapest on the whole list at $9.62.
03:10Under $10. If you're maintaining a rig and you want spares on the shelf without blowing your budget,
03:16this is an easy yes. All right, that's the 5. I've dropped links to every single one of these down
