OSRAM XBO R 180 W/45 C OFR - Short arc xenon lamp with reflector (f=45 mm) for endoscopy, microscopy and fiber optics
The OSRAM XBO R 180 W/45 C OFR is a short-arc xenon lamp with an integrated reflector, designed to deliver extremely high luminance from a point source and a continuous spectrum in the visible range. This ensures consistent light color and a high color rendering index throughout its lifespan. It operates on DC power and supports hot-restart and dimming over a wide range—essential qualities for endoscopy , microscopy , surgical heads , and light guide illumination . The OFR (Ozone Free) version prevents ozone generation. Key parameters: 180 W , 12.8–14.8 V , 11.75–12.25 A , 800 lm , ≈6,000 K , Ra > 90 , average life 500 h , focal length 45 mm , base FaXP2.5-2x65 , diameter 64 mm , and length 90 mm . It requires forced cooling and its working position is p20 .

Compatibility and replacement
The XBO R 180 W/45 C OFR reference is used in numerous medical and scientific systems from manufacturers such as ZEISS , CUDA , LEMKE , and Corin Medical . Common examples include OPMI VARIO S8 systems and fiber optic light sources. Always verify the exact equipment model , the 45 mm focal length , the p20 position , and the connector type before purchasing.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does it need auxiliary equipment? Yes. It requires a specific stabilized DC power supply for XBO lamps and forced cooling depending on the luminaire.
Is it adjustable? Yes, it is adjustable and also supports hot restart .
What does OFR mean? Ozone Free : ozone-free version.
Can I use it in any orientation? No. The specified working position is p20 .
Safety and handling
- Due to its high luminance , UV radiation and high internal pressure (both hot and cold), use it exclusively in suitable enclosed housings and with PPE when handling it.
- Always use the protective covers supplied for installation and removal.
- Respect polarity, electrical parameters and airflow of the luminaire.
