Re: Power supply for Leitz 250

A quick look at the Web suggests that this is a mercury-vapor gas-discharge
lamp and the power supply is probably a lot more than just a voltage source.

Kevin,
Thanks for your answer.
Thing is, I do have the lamp itself (Philips C.S.I. 250W K9) but I don't
have the power supply.
I'll search the web to see if I can find some information about the lamp.

BTW
SMS=shared medical systems?

I just bought a Leitz 250 illumination unit without the power supply.
Does anyone know what voltage/current it needs, so I can make one
myself?
The connector has 3 pins (1 is ground).

Theo, Minor problem, those lamps aren't made any more. If you want to
use what you have, well, good luck. I remember a friend telling me
about 12 years ago that those lamps aren't made or used any more.
They were real hot stuff in the '80's but now, not so good.

In general, try the Osram site first for any lamp data, I just tried
them and a some other people and no body had anything. You might want
to consider changing either the lamp system or going to a system like
X-cite. Common high powered lamp system for fluorescence are a dead
issue now, the X-cite is the future.

Thanks, let us know how it goes!
