OSRAM XBO R 101 W/45 OFR – Short arc xenon lamp with reflector (6000 K, CRI 95+, FaXP2.5)

The OSRAM XBO R 101 W/45 OFR is a short-arc xenon lamp with an integrated reflector , designed to provide a high-luminance point source and a continuous visible spectrum . It maintains a constant light color of ~6000 K and a CRI ≥95 throughout its lifetime, making it ideal for critical applications in endoscopy, microscopy, fiber optic illumination, and imaging . The OFR version is ozone-free and supports hot-restart and dimming , with instant start-up . Official manufacturer designation: XBO R 101 W/45 C OFR .

With a nominal power of 101 W and DC operation, it works in the range of 12–14 V (13 V nominal) and 7.0–7.4 A. It provides a luminous flux of 530 lm with a focal length of 45 mm for precise optical matching. Its compact design, with a FaXP2.5-2×65 base, 64 mm diameter , and 93 mm length , simplifies integration into compatible equipment. It requires forced cooling and a p20 operating position. Typical average lifespan in horizontal position: up to 500 h .
