120 watts, short arc mercury, with reflector
OSRAM HBO R and HXP Mercury Short Arc Discharge Lamps (≤ 200W) are intense point sources that provide a broad spectrum through the visible and ultraviolet range. These lamps are optimal sources for fiber illumination devices for Medical, Scientific, and various Industrial areas. The broad spectrum makes these lamps ideal for microscopy applications.
Product Features and Benefits
- High luminance / radiance with intense point source
- Broad spectral distribution in the visible and ultraviolet range
- Enhanced UV characteristics available on some types
- High arc stability
Areas of Application
- Microscopy
- Laboratory & Analysis
- UV Curing
- Fiber Illumination
- Microscopy
- Solar Simulation
Safety Advice
Due to their high luminance, UV radiation, and high internal pressure in the hot state, HBO and HXP lamps may only be operated in enclosed lamp casings designed for their operation. Since mercury is released if the lamp breaks, special safety precautions must be taken.

125 mm (front ring to plug) and 95 mm (rear cap to plug) silicon cables terminated with MATE-N-LOK plug no. 350809-1 with pins no. 926868-3 by AMP Inc.
It takes time for the mercury in the lamp to evaporate. Typically 95% of luminous output are generated after approximately 120 seconds. For quality inspection purposes allow for five minutes burning time.
Excessive airflow may lead to mercury condensation in the discharge lamp bulb and consequently to a performance drop.
Operation time after which either aperture lumens decrease to 50% of initial value or the lamp voltage reaches 115 V and the lamp cannot be ignited. Switching cycle: 210 minutes on / 30 minutes off.
Operational bulb wall temperatures lower than 850°C may lead to mercury condensation and prevent the lamp from reaching stable operation conditions; temperatures higher than 950°C may lead to premature failures of the lamp.
Output is understood as total energy in the range 320 to 500 nm focusereflector.
