Philips XOP 25-OF – Linear xenon strobe lamp (5600 K, Ø12 mm, 540 mm, 250 h)
The Philips XOP 25-OF is a linear pulsed xenon (strobe) lamp with a cable connection and a 15.8 × 14.7 mm ceramic cap , designed for DMX and analog flash displays in nightclubs, events, and stages, as well as for industrial and laboratory equipment. Its near-continuous spectrum (≈200–1000 nm) and 5600 K daylight white color temperature produce clean, high-impact flashes. With a 12 mm diameter and a total length of 540 mm , it offers an average lifespan of 250 hours and can be operated in any orientation . The XOP series uses ozone-free quartz and requires electronic ignition (≈10 kV pulse) and, depending on the system's power, forced cooling .
Main features
-
Color and spectrum: 5600 K , almost continuous xenon spectrum (≈200–1000 nm), daylight-like appearance for sharp effects.
-
Professional format: Ø 12 mm tube · total length 540 mm · cable connection with ceramic cap 15.8 × 14.7 mm .
-
Typical lamp performance: efficacy ≈ 5 lm/W and flux ≈ 5,500 lm at nominal operation.
-
Electrical reference: nominal current ≈ 10.5 A · lamp voltage 110–120 V (nominal ≈ 115 V).
-
Durability: average life 250 h (F50) with stable performance maintenance.
-
Instant start: strobe, no warm-up time; dimmable (depending on the equipment's electronics).
-
Job position: any (any orientation).
Product benefits
-
High visual impact with intense flashes and neutral daylight-like coloration.
-
Universal integration into professional strobes (DMX/analog) thanks to their standardized dimensions.
-
Reliability on tour : ozone-free quartz and ceramic cap that improve thermal resistance and connection security.
Use cases
-
Entertainment: flash/strobe displays in nightclubs, festivals, concerts and theater.
-
Industry and laboratory: stroboscopy, printing/inspection and special equipment with linear xenon lamps.
Important technical notes
-
Power compatibility: The XOP 25 designation is often associated with "2.5 kW class" in flash units, but the lamp's rated power in the datasheet is approximately 1100 W (approximately 115 V · 10.5 A). Always check the strobe specification .
-
UV ignition and safety: requires an electronic igniter (~10 kV). For certain applications, a UV filter and insulated lamp holder are recommended.
-
Thermal: max. clamping ≈ 350 °C ; the bulb can operate at high temperatures and may require forced cooling depending on the power level.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Is it “2500 W” or “1100 W”? Many strobe manufacturers rate their equipment as 2.5 kW; the Philips/Dr. Fischer XOP 25-OF lamp is listed as approximately 1100 W nominal in the catalog. Both figures are valid; refer to the strobe datasheet for the actual wattage.
-
Does it need a ballast? It's not a conventional HID system: the strobe integrates the triggering and control electronics for the XOP (pulsed xenon) lamp.
-
Can it be dimmed? Yes, if the controller/strobe allows it (equipment's own dimmer/drive).
