Sylvania 69183 XBO R-180W-45C-OFR

Sylvania 69183 XBO-R-180-W/45C-OFR — 180W/14V DC Short-Arc Xenon (XBO) Medical Lamp

Sylvania 69183 (XBO-R-180-W/45C-OFR) is a short-arc xenon (XBO) reflector lamp built for professional medical light sources — endoscopy, laparoscopy, and surgical/microscopy illuminators. Rated at 180W on a regulated 14V DC supply drawing 12.0A, it uses OSRAM SYLVANIA's ozone-free (OFR) quartz formulation and is documented for horizontal operation only, within the manufacturer's specified tilt tolerance.

Technical Specifications

Product Overview

The Sylvania XBO-R-180-W/45C-OFR is a member of OSRAM SYLVANIA's XBO short-arc xenon reflector family, built for regulated-DC medical and scientific light sources rather than general illumination. Xenon short-arc technology produces a continuous, daylight-balanced spectral output by nature of the xenon gas discharge — this is a characteristic of the XBO lamp family broadly, and is 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 horizontal operation only, within p 15 (horizontal, +/-15 deg. of horizontal).

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 — this allows use inside enclosed instrument housings without auxiliary exhaust ventilation, per OSRAM SYLVANIA's general XBO installation guidance.

Compatible Applications

• Endoscopy and laparoscopy light sources
• Surgical operating room illumination towers
• Clinical and laboratory microscopy instruments requiring a regulated xenon light engine
• OEM/replacement lamp for medical light-source consoles specified for this exact Product Number

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 required cooling — forced-air cooling directed at the lamp base is required for this lamp type.
• Confirm mounting orientation supports p 15 (horizontal, +/-15 deg. of horizontal) — operating outside this tolerance shortens lamp life and can distort the arc.

Safety and Handling Guidelines

• Xenon short-arc lamps operate under high internal gas pressure even when cold — handle with a full face shield and heavy protective gloves.
• Never touch the quartz envelope or reflector optics 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 (forced or convection) for a minimum of 15 minutes before removal, per OSRAM SYLVANIA's XBO handling guidance.
• Store and transport in the original protective cover/packaging until the lamp is mounted in its locked 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.
