Product Overview
The Sylvania 69138 is a mercury short-arc lamp in the HBO Mercury Short-Arc (Microlithography) family, built for professional applications where this exact ordering code, wattage, and voltage are specified by the fixture or equipment manufacturer. Mercury short-arc lamps of this type are precision components – the arc gap, base configuration, and operating position requirements are engineered for a specific fixture design and are not generally interchangeable with other wattages or ordering codes in the same family.
Operating position for this lamp is specified as Vertical, anode. Rated for 1000 hours of average life, this lamp should only be installed in equipment that explicitly calls for the Sylvania 69138 or its HBO 5000 W/HK ordering abbreviation.
