Technical Specifications

Product Overview

The Sylvania 69257 is a xenon short-arc lamp in the XBO Xenon Short-Arc family, built for professional applications where this exact ordering code, wattage, and voltage are specified by the fixture or equipment manufacturer. Xenon 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 s30 p30. Rated for 2000 hours under the manufacturer warranty terms, this lamp should only be installed in equipment that explicitly calls for the Sylvania 69257 or its XBO 500 W/H ordering abbreviation.

Compatible Applications

• Professional fixtures and equipment specified for the Sylvania 69257 (XBO 500 W/H)

• Confirm your equipment specifies the Sylvania 69257, ordering abbreviation XBO 500 W/H
• Confirm supply voltage is 17V and current type (DC) match your equipment

Safety and Handling Guidelines
