Product Overview

The Sylvania 69256 XBO 2000 W/SHSC OFR is a 2000W xenon short-arc high-pressure lamp producing 80,000 lumens at 6000K Daylight White with CRI 98 — a direct current arc source that delivers a compact, extremely bright, daylight-balanced point source appropriate for large-format cinema projection, military searchlights, and high-power follow spot systems. At 70 AmpsA operating current and 27V DC, this lamp requires a dedicated constant-current DC power supply rated for these parameters.

The OFR (Ozone-Free) designation indicates this lamp uses a UV-blocking quartz envelope that suppresses the 185nm radiation responsible for ozone generation — appropriate for enclosed or limited-ventilation installations where ozone accumulation must be controlled. The SK27/50 (Anode), SFcX27-8 (Cathode) base provides separate anode and cathode connections; correct DC polarity is essential for lamp operation and safety. Rated life of 2,000 hours varies with operating duty cycle and power supply quality — maintain adequate lamp stock for your production schedule. Burn position: .

Applications

• Large-format cinema projection – XBO xenon short-arc lamps are the professional standard for commercial cinema projection systems requiring maximum screen luminance. 2000W output is appropriate for large-format cinema projection, military searchlights, and high-power follow spot systems.
• High-power searchlights and follow spots – Large-venue follow spots, aerial searchlights, and entertainment lighting requiring maximum luminous intensity (80,000 lm / 7500cdcd) at extended distances.
• Solar simulation and scientific testing – Solar simulators, UV exposure systems, and optical testing equipment requiring stable CRI 98 daylight-spectrum output at defined wattage.
• ⚠ High-pressure safety warning — face shield mandatory: XBO lamps operate at extreme internal pressure. Always wear a face shield and heavy protective gloves during all handling and installation operations. Lamp burst risk if improperly handled or dropped.

Handling and Installation Requirements

• ⚠ High-pressure — face shield and gloves mandatory: XBO lamps operate at extreme internal pressure. Face shield and heavy protective gloves are required during all handling and installation. Never handle without PPE.
• DC power supply required — 27V DC / 70 AmpsA: XBO lamps require a dedicated constant-current DC power supply. Do not connect to AC. Verify power supply is rated for 27V DC at 70 AmpsA continuous output.
• Anode/cathode polarity — SK27/50 (Anode), SFcX27-8 (Cathode): Verify correct DC polarity per power supply and fixture documentation. Reversed polarity will damage the lamp and may cause failure.
• Burn position — : Operate only within the specified burn position range. Incorrect orientation shortens lamp life and may cause failure.
• Do not touch the lamp envelope: Skin oils cause hot spots that can lead to catastrophic failure under high-pressure operation. Use clean cotton gloves at all times. If touched accidentally, clean with isopropyl alcohol.
• Ozone-free (OFR) — ventilation still required: This lamp suppresses ozone generation, but adequate ventilation is still required due to extreme heat output and UV emissions.
• Allow minimum 30-minute cool-down before handling: XBO lamps operate at extreme temperature. Never touch the housing or lamp immediately after switching off.
• Verify power supply compatibility: Use only power supplies specifically designed and approved for 2000W XBO xenon short-arc lamp operation.
