Curtain up for a perfect performance
 
Today the cinema fulfills a whole gamut of functions: as meeting-place for people of almost every age, as a place of dreams and fantasy, as creative synthesis of picture and sound - and not to be forgotten: as a branch of industry with a yearly turnover of many billions of Euros. And yet this would all not exist without a small, but all the more important, invention: the artificial light source by which the projection of films first became possible.
 

 
For glowing colors and brilliant pictures
 
Our new Cinema business unit provides customers in the cinema industry with highly developed and enormously powerful special lamps for the projection of films.

 
Product Description
 
XBO projection lamps are high intensity discharge lamps in which the arc burns in an atmosphere of pure xenon. They operate with DC and achieve a current strength of over 200 Ampere. Because of their high luminance they are specially suited to large format projection.
 

 
Features and Benefits
 
XBO lamps provide light almost immediately and need very little charging time. OSRAM XBO gives a wide range of power regulation, so that the performance can be adapted flexibly to the requirements of the application.
