Product Overview
The Sylvania 69245 XBO 450 W OFR 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 30), with the anode (+) on top.
Like all OFR (ozone-free) XBO lamps, its quartz envelope is coated to suppress UV transmission below approximately 250 nm, eliminating ozone generation during operation, per OSRAM SYLVANIA's XBO OFR specification.

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 69245
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 30 (vertical, base down, anode (+) on top) — operating outside the specified position shortens lamp life.
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
- Ozone-Free (OFR) quartz formulation — suppresses ozone generation per OSRAM SYLVANIA's XBO OFR specification
- See OSRAM SYLVANIA's full XBO catalog and installation guide for complete compliance and handling documentation.
