5W Xenon Flash Module

Product Details Ordering Information Download Materials Related video Application Cases

The Excelitas 5W xenon flash module efficiently converts electrical energy into high-intensity flashes. These are compact, standalone units with an operating input voltage of 12 V or 24 V and a lamp power consumption of up to 5 W.
This module contains a power supply, a xenon flash lamp, and connectors, all enclosed in a metal housing.
Thanks to carefully selected electrode materials and a sophisticated design, the Esselight 5W xenon flash lamp module delivers an extensive, continuous UV-VIS spectrum and exhibits outstanding flash stability. This ensures a long operational life and makes these lamps ideal light sources for UV-VIS and fluorescence spectroscopy, as well as for online process monitoring or thin-film measurement applications.

| Product Advantages

A wide spectral range (190–1100 mm) is suitable for the instrument’s single-source design, which can help reduce costs.
Low noise and highly stable light output (< 2% CV) make it ideal for analytical applications.
Plug-and-play: Compact unit featuring a 9-pin D-sub connector to accelerate instrument design.
Long service life (> 109 flashes), reducing maintenance costs.
Provides SMA fiber optic connector version.
