GE CYS Projection Lamp 115-125V 1200W Incandescent Bulb Film Cinema
The General Electric CYS is a high-wattage incandescent projection lamp rated 115-125V at 1200W. It uses a tungsten filament assembly housed in a clear tubular glass envelope with a gold-finished reflector dome cap, and connects via a 2-pin bi-post base. This lamp type was a standard light source for professional film projectors, large-format slide projectors, and cinema and stage projection systems requiring sustained, high-intensity output.

Applications
The CYS lamp code designates a high-output incandescent projection lamp used in professional film projection, large slide and filmstrip projectors, and theatrical or stage projection systems from the mid-to-late 20th century. These tungsten lamps were standard equipment in cinema halls, schools, and audiovisual production environments that relied on arc or incandescent sources before the widespread adoption of xenon and HID technology. The 1200W rating positioned the CYS for demanding projection applications requiring high brightness over relatively long lamp-to-screen distances. Replacement CYS lamps continue to be sought by operators and collectors maintaining vintage film projection equipment.
This General Electric CYS Projection Lamp is new and unused, but is being sold as open box. The lamp is new from GE, however it may have been stored for an extended period and could be past its rated shelf life, or may be out of its original inner packaging. The original GE box is present but shows shelf wear — scuffing and creasing on the exterior. The lamp itself appears clean and intact with no visible damage to the glass envelope, filament, or reflector cap. Please review our photos carefully and contact us with any questions before purchasing.
