• Modulation capability
• Extremely high brightness
Description
The Cermax® xenon arc lamp is an innovative lamp design in the specialty lighting
industry. These lamps were introduced in
the early 1980’s and are now used in endoscopes in most
major hospitals worldwide, in high brightness projection display systems, and for a
wide variety of other high performance
applications.
Cermax® xenon arc lamps have always been
known as rugged and compact sources of
high quality illumination. The newest lamp
in this distinguished family is the PE150A10F. This 150 watt lamp sets new standards
in size, economy, and ease of design. As
with all Cermax® lamps, the PE150A-10F
has an integral reflector, extremely high
brightness, excellent color rendering, stable
color over life and operating range, instanton operation and modulation capability. The
PE150A-10F is designed with an elliptical
reflector, giving an f/1.0 focused output and
is intended for use in very compact optical
systems.
