Technical Information No. DO 5175 Edition: 10/08 High Power Metal Halide Lamp HMI® 12000 W/DXS - subject to change Supersedes: 08/04 Status: valid Product description The OSRAM HMI® 12000 W/XS is a high-end metal halide lamp. Due to its short electrode gap a high luminance and efficacy is achieved. With a luminous flux of more than one million Lumens and the daylight-like spectrum this lamp type is especially suitable for film and TV shooting. The double-foil technology used for the lead-ins and the reliable XSTechnology ensures a stable and safe operation with enhanced thermal resistance up to 450°C pinch temperature.
