Solarc, a unique metal-halide arc lamp technology, delivers bright, daylight-quality light while requiring minimal power. These compact, rugged and highly efficient lamps have been integrated into a host of products, including fiber optic illuminators for medical and industrial endoscopy and portable sources such as bicycle lights, dive lamps and industrial flashlights. Solarc lamps offer a three-fold increase in efficiency over comparable halogen sources. Whether it's more intense light driven by an equivalent amount of watts or equivalent light output that lasts three times as long, our Solarc lamps provide OEMs with significant cost and performance advantages. High-Intensity Arc Lamp Technology USHIO’s genuine patented Solarc® lamp technology combines the efficiencies of high-pressure metal halide arc lamps, precision miniature lamp construction for precise optical alignment. This unique process delivers unequaled illumination performance for intense, brilliant white light with a color temperature typically greater than 5,000K — comparable to true daylight. Please use this reference guide for typical Solarc component replacements to consistently meet market demands. Today’s markets dictate that the products you design must meet your customers’ needs as well as stand out from their competition. You’re asked to deliver brighter, longer-lasting illumination in a smaller, more portable product. Put another way, your customers want the power of the sun in the palm of their hands. With USHIO’s Slarc® lamps, that’s precisely what they get. Slarc lamps, Light Engines and Light Modules are used worldwide to supply high-quality, white light in a wide variety of optical illumination systems. This is because Slarc products give you the design flexibility for use in a wide variety of applications. When properly applied, they will reliably provide hundreds of hours of excellent product performance. And, with their simple packaging, they can be designed into your products with ease. As with any new technology, it is important that you understand key application techniques. This Slarc Technical Operation Guide has been arranged to help you easily find the information you need for your specific application. It summarizes the important information and assembly hints that will help get you started. For more detailed information on specific Slarc lamp solutions, please contact your USHIO America representative. By following the guidelines given in this guide, you (and your customers) will be rewarded with years of dependable, trouble-free service from your new Slarc products. Please read these instructions thoroughly before use. Slarc® LAMP OVERVIEW Each Slarc lamp is a metal halide light source in the class of high-pressure, high-intensity-discharge (HID) lights, which differ from halogen, incandescent, fluorescent or light emitting diode (LED) illumination sources. Light is emitted from an arc discharge between two closely spaced electrodes, which are hermetically sealed inside a small quartz glass envelope. During operation, small amounts of metals are heated to a liquid state that provides the needed vapors to create the desired light color. The light emitted from this arc tube is intense. Appropriate safety precautions relating to exposure protection are required. Metal halide lamps operate at very high temperatures and pressures so proper mounting, cooling and ventilation are required to assure reliable operation. While highly efficient, these metal halide lamps are sensitive to thermal fluctuations and orientation effects. Expect larger variations in color and output than other lower efficiency technologies. Slarc lamps have unique operating and handling characteristics that should be understood to achieve successful and reliable operation: • Slarc quartz glass must be kept clean • The glass lamps should be handled with care, giving special attention to the quartz arc tube • Metal halide lamps use high-voltage, short-duration pulses to initiate operation • Slarc is a direct current (DC) lamp, and proper electrical wiring polarity must be observed to prevent damage to the lamp
