USHIO JCR 15V 150W BAL/BAU – Genuine OEM Halogen Reflector Lamp
This listing is for one genuine USHIO JCR 15V 150W halogen reflector lamp. Please select your reflector type from the dropdown menu: BAL (silver reflector) or BAU (gold-plated reflector). Manufactured in Japan by USHIO, this precision optical reflector lamp combines a compact C-8 axial filament with a high-efficiency dichroic reflector for exceptional light concentration. Designed as the original equipment light source in a wide range of laboratory, medical, and industrial instruments.
Bare lamp only – no housing or instrument included. Always handle halogen lamps with care. Avoid touching the quartz envelope or reflector surface with bare fingers.
Choose Your Reflector Type
- BAL (Silver Reflector): Standard aluminum reflector coating. Cost-effective, excellent for general microscopy, coating machines, slide projectors, and industrial inspection equipment.
- BAU (Gold-Plated Reflector): Vacuum-deposited gold reflector for superior IR and visible light reflectivity. 15-20% higher optical efficiency than standard aluminum. Ra≈100 color rendering, 3400K color temperature. Ideal for medical endoscopes, ophthalmic instruments, semiconductor wafer inspection, and color-critical applications.
Both variants share identical physical dimensions and electrical specifications. The BAU is the premium option for applications requiring maximum light quality and color accuracy.

Genuine USHIO – 100% Original, Never Re-Lamped
This is a brand-new, original USHIO halogen reflector lamp—not a used bulb that has been re-lamped or refurbished. Every lamp we sell is manufactured by USHIO in Japan as a complete, sealed unit. No recycled parts, no re-lamped cores. Using a genuine OEM lamp ensures reliable ignition, stable color temperature, and full rated lamp life. Generic compatible bulbs often suffer from filament sag, color temperature drift, reflector delamination, and premature failure.
