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 PE175B-10F and PE175B-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
45 of vertical.
2.
Seal temperature must not exceed 150 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 200 C, and their
IR and UV radiation can cause skin burns and eye damage.
