As one of the best-selling projector lamps/ bulbs, OSRAM P-VIP® Projector lamps/ bulbs are impacted by many counterfeit lamps. Some of them are very easy to identify, but others are not. No one can guarantee the light performance of those counterfeit P-VIP® lamps/ bulbs.

For decades, OSRAM has been committed to providing premium lighting products to the global market. Our mission is to optimize production processes, strengthen quality control and increase customer satisfaction to brighten your screen

Counterfeit of P-VIP® Projector lamps/bulbs have up to 30% less initial brightness.

OSRAM picked several counterfeit lamps from the market for testing. The result was very surprising. The gap between the initial luminance of counterfeits and OSRAM original P-VIP® projector lamps/ bulbs can reach 30% in the worst situation. Too low brightness can make visible defects on the screen. For instance, you may find a blurred subtitle when watching a movie or have difficulty in seeing the projected slides clearly when presenting at a meeting.

Electrode gap- the main cause for insufficient brightness in projection

In lamp technology, electrode gap and brightness are strongly related. A smaller electrode gap yields higher brightness. It is also optimal to have consistent electrode gaps between the same type of lamps. OSRAM performed a sophisticated test on electrode gap to prove that counterfeit brightness levels were less than OSRAM P-VIP® Projector lamp/ bulb levels. The test result shows that the electrode gap of counterfeit projector lamps/ bulbs is larger than OSRAM lamps by 30% on average, which undoubtedly indicates a much lower brightness. As shown in the graph, the deviation of electrode gap among OSRAM projector lamps/ bulbs is well-controlled and less than counterfeit lamps.

Counterfeit lamps typically have inconsistent light optics across the screen

When presenting with projection, not only vivid colour but uniform brightness distribution all over the screen is the key to the visual feeling. Besides the projector lamp/ bulb itself, OSRAM takes great care in many application details such as how the lamp perfectly integrates into each projector system to ensure uniform and stable optical output on the screen. This optimization of optics is what the counterfeits of P-VIP®projector lamps/ bulbs cannot replicate.

Poor maintenance and reliability of a counterfeit of P-VIP® projector lamps/ bulbs

The endurance of a light source impacts a lot on your practical usage, in a way of functionality and performance. We had a lifetime test with fake lamps and obtained a negative result.

• Besides the lower initial ongoing brightness over the lifetime, the brightness of counterfeit lamps degrades more rapidly than OSRAM P-VIP® projector lamps/ bulbs with the same duration. Until the end of our limited testing time, the luminous flux of counterfeit lamps is much lower and even far below the level of practical use.
• We also found the fake lamp shattered in the test and this bad reliability would induce potential risk to the user.

Counterfeit lamps pale in comparison to OSRAM P-VIP® projector lamps/ bulbs

We produce every burner, the key part in OSRAM P-VIP® projector lamps/ bulbs, in our Berlin, Germany factory. The burner tube is made of high purity quartz glass, which is capable of stable operation using high-pressure mercury up to 300 kPa for a long time. Our factory’s automated machinery and high levels of quality control ensure that all burners are produced to strict specifications. It requires high precision and accuracy while assembling a lamp in our production line so that we can optimize luminous flux and specific optical distribution for projector use.

For proper functionality, we carefully evaluate the reliability of raw materials in the condition of operation and storage. In particular, special ceramic rings and basing cement were chosen for their ability to withstand high temperatures and humidity. OSRAM has been producing premium lamps generating incomparable light as we keep improving product design and production processes.

OSRAM suggests customers purchase genuine OSRAM P-VIP® projector lamps/ bulbs through authorized distributors only.

OSRAM received an OSCAR® in 1987 and a PRIMETIME EMMY® Engineering award in 2007 for the invention and continuous improvement of HMI lamp technology. As a result, the HMI lamp family continues to be an integral part of film sets around the world.

However, another one of the major applications of OSRAM HMI® 4000 W/DXS is in solar simulation, specifically in automotive testing laboratories. Solar radiation causes numerous unwanted effects on materials exposed for extended periods. These changes range from aesthetics (like fading colours) to structural changes (increase in brittleness and the loss of various strengths).

Solar simulation testing is used to simulate the spectra of natural sunlight to help determine how a material will react when exposed to sunlight over a period of time. A solar simulator is also known as an artificial sun as it is a device that provides illumination which is as close to the natural light as possible.

The purpose of the solar simulator is to provide a controllable indoor test facility under laboratory conditions, used for the testing of solar cells, sunscreen, plastics, and other materials and devices.

The OSRAM HMI® 4000 W/DXS SOLAR is a double-ended metal halide lamp. Its funnel-shaped burner is specially designed for super quiet operation on electronic power supplies which acts as a major support base when we talk about solar Simulation.

The HMI® 4000 W/DXS SOLAR can be operated either on magnetic ballast (CCG) or on electronic power supplies (ECG). For best performance, we recommend the use of an ECG. Magnetic ballasts can reduce lamp performance and hence, caution is of the best priority in these cases especially when it concerns the Automotive Testing Laboratory or a car manufacturing factory.

• Lamp wattage: 4000 W
• Nominal voltage: 204 V
• Lamp voltage: 200 V
• Nominal current: 23.5 A
• Lamp current: 24.0 A
• Colour temperature: 6000 K
• CRI › 90
• Lifespan: 500 h
• Base (standard designation): SFa21-12

Luminous flux, CRI and CCT may vary during lifetime. Their behaviour strongly depends on the switching cycle applied for lamp operation. In general, a decrease in luminous flux and CCT can be expected.

OSRAM HMI® lamp is a product category containing the latest technology and know-how in this segment.

Whether it’s a car manufacturing factory or an Automotive Testing Laboratory- the indispensable characteristic of such highly developed products that they are sensitive to all kinds of external influences. The functionality of the individual features of our products is influenced by various external factors and may therefore differ depending on the individual application or condition of use.

It is up to the user to make his own determination as to the suitability of a lamp for his intended application or use and to assume responsibility for that determination.

Boosting of metal halide lamps: Operating the lamp at higher than the rated lamp wattage is not allowed. Besides affecting the photometric properties of the lamp (higher CRI, lower CCT) the increased load on the electrode system, sealing and the bulb will lead to a premature failure of the lamp while being used in an automotive Testing Laboratory or even a car manufacturing factory which can result in hazardous problems.

Luminous flux, CRI and CCT may vary during lifetime. Their behaviour strongly depends on the switching cycle applied for lamp operation. In general, a decrease in luminous flux and CCT can be expected.

Average lamp life and lumen maintenance:

Switching cycle 210 min. on, 30 min. off

Lamp life time5: 500 h typical @ 4000 W

More than 50% of the lamp population have light output > 50% of the initial min. lumen output at lamp lifetime. The light output of the lamp is measured within an integrating sphere (diameter 2000 mm).

Safety recommended during use:

Mainly Because of their high luminance, UV radiation and high internal pressure during operation, HMI lamps may only be operated in enclosed lamp casings specially constructed for the purpose.

Appropriate filters must ensure that UV radiation is reduced to an acceptable level. Mercury is released if the lamp breaks. Special safety precautions must be taken. Information on safety and handling is available on request or can be found in the leaflet included with the lamp or in the operating instructions.

If the lighting product is available in the market for mass use, it becomes readily available for all kinds of content creators irrespective of the budget. With the proper understanding of the basics and the complexity of the process behind the video creation, the art of creating videos may not seem to be a gigantic task at may appear at first. Understanding the right usage of equipment helps the creator to achieve the desired content with a minimalistic effort.

When a new project is taken into consideration factors such as lighting needs to be taken into account from the outset. Video and image creation is an art that involves understanding various elements that go into making the project. Lighting is among the most important aspect that can not be ignored by any production team. Lighting analogs may appear intimidating but with proper understanding and experience, one can champion them.

OSRAM, the inventor of HMI^® lights has gradually improved its high-quality Studio Lamps with exciting innovations

OSRAM HMI^® DIGITAL’s line of single-ended metal halide lamps offers extremely bright light (of up to 100 lumens per watt), a color temperature that approximates daylight (6000 K), and a high color rendering index (> 90). Whether using analog or digital film, OSRAM’s HMI DIGITAL line has a lamp for your production. With single-ended metal halide lamps ranging from 200 W to 18000 W, HMI DIGITAL is suited for entertainment applications from film sets to theater stages.

OSRAM HMI^® STUDIO lamps shine twice brighter as a tungsten halogen lamp with similar wattage. These metal halide lamps provide a natural-looking light and reveal a set’s true colors with a high CRI of more than 90. With the patented doped UV-Stop quartz outer jacket, these lamps reduce the harmful UVB and UVC emissions by 99.9%. Compared to a traditional studio lighting setup with multiple tungsten halogen and metal halide lamp fixtures, using HMI^® STUDIO in daylight fixtures makes separate halogen fixtures redundant. When paired with fixtures, HMI^® STUDIO lamps deliver a warm tungsten color temperature. Film and TV productions can save time and become more cost-effective while benefiting from two times the brightness (compared to tungsten halogen lamps of a similar wattage.

Our understanding of the use of lighting in video and film production has improved many folds over time since the products that we are using have become far more user friendly, compact, and compatible with the current set of demands. Initially, portability was a huge issue since most of the equipment was massive and fragile, and this made the process of video creation a tedious one. Since then the technology has drastically improved, and over time the lighting equipment has become lighter, compact, and superior making it possible to create content in such a manner it was not impossible before. Shots on the move have become relatively easy and less time consuming, allowing the creators to put their vision into execution. Features such as silent operation, battery packs, and add-on features that can be attached to a camera make it possible for the creators to produce high-quality content with ease.

The importance of light in video and film production is of prime importance since the cameras can’t respond to light the way human eyes do. The amount of details, contrast, and colours absorbed by a human eye is immensely complex and unique. The cameras are not capable of implementing the same kind of complex processing. Additional lighting is used to make up for the loss of the camera image processing capabilities and to produce the video and image quality as comparable as to the human eye. The higher and excellent quality of the video and film production is backed by the equal quality of lighting behind it.

Behind a successful video or film project, many significant aspects need to be taken into consideration. Some of the most important factors include location, usage of ambient light, changing conditions, shadows, and natural light, and many others. These factors play a crucial role in enhancing the overall quality of the project. Any project is dependent on the light for its execution. Key light, fill light and backlight are quintessential before setting up the rest of the equipment.
