PE500DF

The Cermax® xenon arc PE500DF and PE500DUV lamp is an innovative lamp design in the specialty lighting industry. These lamps were introduced in the early 1980's and PE500DF and PE500DUV are now used in endoscopes in most major hospitals worldwide, in high brightness projection display systems, and for a wide variety of other high performance applications.

The PE500DF and PE500DUV Cermax® lamps have an integrated 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 PE500DF and PE500DUV 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 of PE500DF and PE500DUV are advised because radio frequency starters may damage the lamps internal reflector.

In addition to lamps, PerkinElmer Optoelectronics manufactures Cermax® arc PE500DF and PE500DUV lamp power supplies, lamp holders, OEM lighting systems, and fiber optic light sources.
