Cermax Xenon Short Arc Lamps - PE150AF - Datasheet

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 power supplies for Cermax Xenon arc lamps, lamp holders, OEM lighting systems, and fiber optic light sources.
