OSRAM 64225 HLX XENOPHOT - G4 6V 10W 3200K bipin halogen lamp for fiber optics and medical applications
The Osram 64225 HLX XENOPHOT is a low-voltage G4 halogen lamp specifically designed for medical fiber optics, microscopy, laboratory, UV curing, and surgical/dental lighting systems. It employs HLX (XENOPHOT) technology, which replaces krypton with xenon as the fill gas to deliver up to 10% more luminous flux compared to standard halogen lamps with the same energy consumption. It provides 200 lumens with a color temperature of 3200 K and a CRI of 100 , ensuring stable light and accurate color rendering. Precise filament alignment via quartz pinch ensures optimal coupling to light guides and optics. It is dimmable , has an S90 burn-in position , and a nominal life of 100 hours . Compact dimensions: Ø 9.5 mm , length 31 mm , LCL 19.5 mm , illuminated field 1.7 × 0.65 mm² and weight 1.2 g . Reference codes: ANSI ESA/FHS , LIF M/29 .

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Is it interchangeable with other 10W G4 bulbs? Always check the voltage (6V) , LCL (19.5mm) , and filament geometry to maintain focus and optical performance.
-
Is it dimmable? Yes, it is dimmable . Please note that very high dimming levels may reduce its lifespan.
-
What do ESA/FHS and M/29 mean? They are ANSI (ESA/FHS) and LIF (M/29) codes that identify equivalencies of the same model.
-
Actual service life? The reference is 100 hours under standard test conditions. Thermal cycling, vibration, or out-of-specification stress may shorten it.
Installation and safety recommendations
- Use only in suitable light fixtures with protective covers to prevent fragment escape and UV filtering.
- Do not touch the bulb; handle with clean gloves or a lint-free cloth.
- Check the appliance ventilation and the s90 burn position indicated by the equipment manufacturer.
- Plan preventive replacements to maintain output and color stability.
Note on nomenclatures
Model 64225 (G4, 6V, 10W, without reflector) should not be confused with 64255 (8V, 20W, with MR11 reflector). Always check the part number and base before purchasing or replacing.
