Cermax Xenon Short Arc Lamps - PE1000DF and PE1000DUV - Datasheet

The Cermax® Xenon 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 variety of other high-performance applications.

Cermax Xenon lamps, Models PE1000DF and PE1000DUV, have an integrated parabolic reflector, enabling high intensity, focused output of visible and infrared radiation. With their internal reflector and rugged ceramic body construction, Cermax Xenon lamps are the safest and most compact alternative to conventional quartz xenon lamps. This makes them ideal for applications requiring 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 arc lamp power supplies, lamp holders, OEM lighting systems, and fiber optic light sources.
