CERMAX® XENON SHORT-ARC LAMPS

The Cermax® Xenon short-arc lamp from Excelitas Technologies is an

innovative lamp design in the specialty lighting industry. Cermax® Xenon

lamps were first introduced in the early 1980s and are now used in

diagnostic and surgical endoscopes in most major hospitals worldwide,

in high-brightness projection display systems, and for a wide variety of

other high-performance applications.

The Cermax® Xenon lamp, Model PE150AF, has an integrated parabolic

reflector, enabling high-intensity, focused light output. Due to the Xenon

lamp’s broad color spectrum, the lamp is filtered to emit ultraviolet,

visible, or infrared light, depending upon application and usage. With their

internal reflector and rugged ceramic body construction, Cermax® Xenon

lamps are the safest and most compact alternative to conventional quartz

xenon lamps. Cermax® lamps are ideal for applications that require a high

degree of illumination control.

Current-regulated or power-regulated power supplies with output ripples

of less than 5% are recommended. Single-shot ignition pulses are advised

because radio frequency starters may damage the lamp’s internal

reflector.

In addition to lamps, Excelitas Technologies manufactures Cermax® Xenon

short-arc lamp power supplies, lamp holders, OEM lighting systems, and

fiber optic light sources.
