Safe and compact solution

Utilizing an integrated parabolic or ellipsoidal reflector,Cermax® lamps produce high intensity, collimated or focused output of light. Due to the xenon lamps broad color spectrum, the lamp is filtered to emit either visible, UV or IR light depending on application or usage. With their internal reflector and rugged ceramic body and seal construction, Cermax® lamps are a

safe and compact alternative to conventional quartz xenon lamps making them ideal for such applications as medical endoscopy, fiber optic illumination and video projection.

Due to it’s new extended operating life, output degradation curve, instant on-off, DC operation and mercury-free content, Excelitas’ new Cermax® lamps are an excellent alternative solution to high pressure mercury lamps for the newly emerging home theatre and RPTV markets.

Flexible power ranges

Available in two configurations —parabolic and ellipsoidal, Standard Cermax® lamps have operating power ranges from 80W to 1000W. The newly designed Cermax® lamps are available only with ellipsoidal reflectors and are offered with operating power ranges from 270W to 2700W.

Solid construction

Lamp construction for all lamps is entirely of metal,sapphire and ceramic. No organic (carbon-based) materials, mercury, rare-earth elements, or any other materials with disposal problems are used it the construction of Cermax® lamps. The xenon fill gas is an inert gas and is non-toxic.

Complete solutions

Excelitas Technologies lamp operating

equipment, including DC power supplies, lamp holders

(modules and heat sinks), light engines and complete fiber

optic illuminators are also included in this

specification sheet. All operating equipment has been

specifically designed to work perfectly with Cermax® lamps

providing the correct amount of current, voltage, ignition

pulses, and cooling.

High performance

Although the overall efficacy of Cermax® lamps is lower than some alternative technologies, Cermax® xenon lamps provide extremely high brightness due to their DC operation, high pressure and ultra-short arc gaps. They also don’t require external reflectors, optics or color balancing (to achieve 6000 K) which greatly lowers the usable efficacy of other lamp technologies.

It is the usable, focused, color balance light that is important and Cermax® lamps achieve tremendous performance parameters as compared to any other lamp technology available today.
