Product OverviewThe 175 Watt Cermax® Xenon lamp PE175BFA provides broad-spectrum illumination for optical systems that require lower intensity than the 300 W variant. Designed for integration into scientific and industrial lighting assemblies, this parabolic-reflector lamp with a ceramic body supports spectral tuning via catalog filters to meet specific application needs.
Performance DetailsNominal output is 2,200 lumens at a nominal power of 175 Watts. Operating power range is 150–200 W. Color temperature is approximately 5,900 K. Typical lamp life is 1,000 hours. Radiant output and spectral contributions include 25 W radiant output, 1.2 W UV (<390 nm) and 14 W IR (>770 nm). Electrical characteristics require a DC supply: nominal voltage 12.5 V (range 11–14 V) and nominal current 14 A (range 12–16 A). Ignition voltage is system dependent (23–35 kV). Maximum allowable temperature is 150 °C.
