OSRAM 64260 M/185 - Low Voltage Halogen Lamp 30 W 12 V PG22 for Microscopy and Fiber Optics
The OSRAM 64260 M/185 is a low-voltage (12 V) , 30 W reflectorless halogen lamp with a PG22 base, designed for medical and scientific applications requiring a stable beam, precise filament alignment, and neutral color rendering. With a color temperature of 3300 K , a CRI of 100 , and a nominal luminous flux of 800 lm , it offers instant light and near-constant output throughout its lifespan. It is available in a XENOPHOT HLX version (xenon gas instead of krypton), which provides up to 10% more flux with the same energy consumption compared to standard halogen lamps. Its compact geometry (Ø 9 mm, length 40 mm, LCL 14 mm ) facilitates integration into light guide/fiber optic equipment, microscope heads, and UV curing light sources. It is dimmable and supports universal burn-in positions , simplifying mounting in suitable fixtures.
