Profile: Osram Sylvania, Inc markets lighting products. We offer Osram HBO® mercury short arc lamps that are widely used in the medical & scientific fields for fluorescent microscopy and industrial UV-curing. In an OSRAM HBO lamp, a luminous arc is generated in a high pressure atmosphere of mercury vapor. As the arc is only a few millimeters in length, the HBO lamps are an almost perfect point source of light. These lamps offer high radiant power in both the UV and visible range, high optical quality and long life. Reflectorized lamps have been specifically designed to provide exceptional efficiency in light guide applications. The Osram HBO lamps for medical and scientific applications are available from 50 to 500 watts. Reflectorized Osram HTI™ lamps are an excellent light source for endoscopy and other medical fiber-optic applications. In these AC-operated discharge lamps, an arc is formed in a dense vapor atmosphere consisting of mercury and rare earth halides. With short arc technology for greater optical control, HTI lamps offer high lumen output, daylight color characteristics, and excellent efficacy in a compact package.
