Description

The Cermax® xenon arc lamp is an innova-

tive lamp design in the specialty lighting

industry. These lamps were introduced in

the early 1980’s and are now used in endo-

scopes in most major hospitals worldwide,

in high brightness projection display sys-

tems, and for a wide variety of other high

performance applications.

The PE300B-10F and PE300B-10UV

Cermax® lamps have an integrated elliptical

reflector, enabling high intensity, focused

output of ultraviolet, visible, and infrared

radiation. With their internal reflector and

rugged ceramic body construction, Cermax®

lamps are the safest and most compact alter-

native to conventional quartz xenon lamps.

This makes them 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 lamps internal

reflector.

In addition to lamps, PerkinElmer

Optoelectronics manufactures Cermax® arc

lamp power supplies, lamp holders, OEM

lighting systems, and fiber optic light

sources.

PerkinElmer welcomes inquiries about special lamps. We would be pleased to discuss the requirements of your application and the feasibility of

designing a lamp specifically suited to your needs.

Notes

1. Lamp must not be operated with window facing upwards within

45º of vertical.

2. Seal temperature must not exceed 150º C.

3. Current/power regulated power supplies and PerkinElmer lamp

housing units are recommended.

4. Lamp must be operated within recommended current and power

range. Over powering may lead to arc instability, hard starting

and premature aging.

5. Hot mirror assembly is available for IR filtering.

6. CERMAX lamps are much safer lamps to use than their quartz

xenon arc lamp equivalents. However, caution must be practiced

when operating lamps because they are under high pressure,

require high voltage, reach temperatures up to 200º C, and their

IR and UV radiation can cause skin burns and eye damage.
