SharXS® (“Short arc eXtreme Seal”) lamps from OSRAM provide a new dimension of power and much greater flexibility in modern entertainment lighting environments:

The innovative double-ended HTI® metal halide series with a reduced short arc and uniform dimensions enable creative and modular luminaire designs without intensive development investments. Due to their characteristic features such as extraordinary robustness, luminous intensity and efficacy SharXS® HTI® lamps lead the industry in effect and entertainment lighting environments.

Simply brilliant
Short arc for greater luminous output SharXS® HTI® lamps far outperform their “tame” competitors in terms of luminous output: Their innovative short-arc technology enables extremely short electrode gaps. SharXS® HTI® lamps are basically able to produce more light than conventional metal halide lamps of the same rated wattage.

Total flexibility
Modular luminaire design and construction The innovative SharXS® HTI® metal halide lamps from OSRAM are available in various wattages typical to the market. All members of this product family are identical in terms of design, length and base. Due to the separate module design luminaire designers will find it much easier to respond to future market requirements. The control gear and cooling of the luminaire must be adjusted to the various wattages. Low consumption: SharXS® HTI® help lower operational costs: Based on the correct luminaire design, the same light output
can be produced using a lower rated wattage. This reduces the need for cooling and therefore saves energy.

More light
With the correct luminaire design SharXS® HTI® provide a significantly higher light output. This means more light is produced using the same amount of energy. A special base with notch makes it easier to install the lamps into appropriate holders. The key-/ lock principle between the lamp and the holder makes it impossible incorrectly and therefore avoids loss of light and unwanted optical influences from the pumping tip.

SharXS® HTI® – the benefits at a glance:
• Standard range of rated wattages from 200-1200W
• One design, same lamp length, same LCL
• Special base SFc10-4 with notch
• Short-arc technology (3 to 7mm)
• High average luminance (30 to 60 kcd/cm2)
• Colour temperature with daylight characteristics (6000K) and bright light (7000, 7500K)
• High colour rendering index (Ra > 80 to > 90)
• Higher thermal resistance through XS technology (450° C max. permissible pinch temperature)
• Hot restart possible
• Average service life 750-3000 hours (depending on model)
• AC operation SharXS® technology enables a “short time to market” – OEM products will now reach the market and the
end-users much quicker!

Keeping their “cool”
Higher thermal load capacity thanks to XS When it comes to thermal loading capabilities SharXS® HTI® lamps are also in the lead: When conventional metal halide lamps begin to feel the heat, SharXS® HTI® lamps keep their “cool” even when things heat up: The innovative XS technology provides a protective coating covering the thermally sensitive area surrounding the weldings, thereby increasing the maximum pinch temperature from 350°C to 450°C. The need for forced cooling can thus be significantly reduced, resulting in quieter luminaire designs. The luminaires display a more compact design, have less weight and require less space.
