Cermax® Xenon Arc Lamps
PE300BF and PE300BUV
CERMAX® XENON ARC LAMPS
Description
The Cermax® xenon arc lamp is an inno-
vative lamp design in the specialty light-
ing industry. These lamps were intro-
duced in the early 1980’s and are now
used in endoscopes in most major hospi-
tals worldwide, in high brightness projec-
tion display systems, and for a wide vari-
ety of other high performance applica-
tions.
The PE300BF and PE300BUV Cermax®
lamps have an integrated ell parabolic
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 alternative 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.
