Sylvania 69234 XBO 150 W/1 — 150W/20V DC Short-Arc Xenon (XBO) Medical Lamp

Sylvania 69234 XBO 150 W/1 (XBO 150 W/1) is a short-arc xenon (XBO) lamp built for professional medical and scientific light sources. Rated at 150W on a regulated 20V DC supply drawing 7.5A, it is documented for vertical operation (s 15), base down.

Technical Specifications

Product Overview

The Sylvania 69234 XBO 150 W/1 is a member of OSRAM SYLVANIA's XBO short-arc xenon family, built for regulated-DC medical, scientific and optical light sources rather than general illumination. Xenon short-arc technology produces a continuous, daylight-balanced spectral output by nature of the xenon gas discharge — a characteristic of the XBO family broadly, not itemized as a specific CRI or CCT figure per catalog listing.

This lamp requires a power supply specifically regulated for XBO xenon arc lamps — standard AC ballasts or generic DC adapters are not compatible, and cathode/anode polarity must be observed exactly per the host equipment's manual. It is rated for vertical operation, base down (s 15), with the anode (+) on top.

This is the standard (non-OFR) version of the lamp; the catalog lists an ozone-free OFR counterpart for applications that require it.

Related versions per the manufacturer catalog — Ozone-free version: XBO 150 W/1 OFR, Product Number 69235; Suprasil quartz version: XBO 150 W/4, Product Number 69238.

Compatible Applications

• Medical and scientific light sources specified for XBO short-arc xenon lamps
• Endoscopy, surgical and microscopy illuminators that call for this exact Product Number
• Display, optic and projection systems that specify this XBO lamp
• OEM/replacement lamp for light-source consoles specified for Product Number 69234

Before Ordering – Verify

• Confirm the light source console uses a regulated DC power supply rated for XBO xenon arc lamps — standard AC ballasts and generic DC adapters are not compatible.
• Confirm cathode/anode polarity per the equipment manual before installing — reversed polarity causes immediate electrode erosion and can damage the power supply.
• Confirm the fixture supports the cooling requirement: forced-air cooling is required for this lamp type.
• Confirm mounting orientation supports s 15 (vertical, base down, anode (+) on top) — operating outside the specified position shortens lamp life.
• Confirm the housing and ventilation suit a non-OFR lamp — an ozone-free OFR version is available under a separate Product Number.

Safety and Handling Guidelines

• This lamp has positive pressure even when cold — handle with a full face shield and heavy protective gloves, and read the manufacturer's safety and warning instructions before use.
• Never touch the quartz envelope with bare hands — skin oils create thermal hot spots that can cause the capsule to shatter during operation.
• Disconnect power and allow the lamp to cool for a minimum of 15 minutes before removal.
• Store and transport in the original protective cover/packaging until the lamp is mounted in its fixture enclosure.
• Dispose of spent lamps per OSRAM SYLVANIA's XBO lamp disposal procedure and applicable federal/state/local regulations — do not discard as ordinary waste.

Compliance

• See OSRAM SYLVANIA's full XBO catalog and installation guide for complete compliance and handling documentation.
