Osram showed a variety of new bulbs. The 4ArXs HCD ceramic metal halide lamp for creative architectural lighting and the double-ended Baby SharXS HTI, with a length of just 93mm were shown alongside new lamps in the aluPAR family, billed as being 66% lighter and up to 10% brighter than conventional halogen PAR 56 lamps for stage and show lighting. The HMI 18000 W/SE is a new addition to the company's range ofhigh-output single-ended metal halide lamps; the 575 W HPL Long Life (1,500 hours) burns nearly four times as long as the standard lamp, while the 750W version lasts up to five times, the company says. Another addition to the HPL Series is QXL Quick eXchange - thanks to its unique twist-and-lock cap, the lamp can be replaced without opening the luminaire. The company's new series of mains voltage halogen lamps for the entertainment, show, and stage sectors are manufactured in quartz pinch technology, making them brighter, safer and more rugged than their predecessors, say Osram
