Best practices for lamp usageOptimize your Christiedigital cinema systemChristie ® Xenolite ® lamps can produce remarkable brightnessand color consistency with excellent resistance to flicker, ignitiondifficulty and explosion. With this superior performance comesgreat economy. Here are some usage guidelines that can beapplied to get optimum performance from the Christie Xenolitelamp and Christie Solaria ® Series projector combination. If youneed technical support to help you with this, please do nothesitate to contact Christie technical support.How to select the right projector/lampcombination that will provide enoughlight to satisfy screen brightness requirementsThere should be enough brightness available even at the endof the lamp’s life to meet your specified center brightnessrequirement. Your company’s lamp changing policy may needto be reviewed to make this decision.1 There is a natural brightness drop-off that occurs with anyXenon lamp during its life. This brightness curve is typicallysharp at the beginning of the lamp’s life and drops slowerafter this initial period. Leaving the lamp at 100% powerthroughout its life would give this typical brightness curve:How to calculate theamount of light required100% Ratedbrightness(lamp/projectorcombination)Starting lamp at 100% powerMaintaining lamp at 100% powerPoint at whichbrightness isunacceptableThe basic formula to calculate this theoretical light requirement is:1 Lumens (L) = Average Screen Brightness desired(average fL) X Screen Area (sq ft)• Given a good light distribution, the “Average Screen Brightness”can be estimated by multiplying the center brightness desired by0.95. Generally accepted practice for the target center brightnessis: 14fL for 2D and 4.5fL for 3D (light measurement taken through3D glasses).2 After you have the “Lumens” number you would divide it byall significant system efficiencies. Some examples would be:• Screen gain: 1.0 to 2.4. Silver screens are 2.4. This is a veryimportant part of this equation and care should be taken tomake sure this number is accurate. If the screen in question isnot new then the overall gain should be measured properly. Anydegradation or debris on the screen will reduce the screen gain.• Port window efficiency: 96% efficiency is typical for goodport glass.• Loss due to color correction required for meeting DCI colorspecifications: 97% efficiency is typical. • 3D system light efficiency: this number can be anywhere from10% to 30% efficiency depending on the 3D system used.• Other effects like down angle and screen curve do makea difference for light distribution but they only affect thesecalculations if they are excessive.Approximately50% brightnessBrightnessLamp power and brightness over timeOptimal conditionsAcceptable brightness rangeLamp life2 This initial drop-off in brightness is mainly due to the reshapingof the electrodes inside the lamp. The arc betweenthe electrodes inside the lamp will move slightly during thisperiod. Re-aligning the lamp often can minimize this dropoff.This re-alignment should be done at least every time theequipment is serviced. The more frequently this is done, themore light efficiency can be preserved.3 100% rated brightness would indicate the use of a new lamprunning at 100% power.4 It is NOT recommended to run a lamp in this way. If this isdone then the brightness level will not be maintained forvery long and the lamp life will be reduced.5 This chart describes the recommended operation of anyXenon lamp.Brightness is unacceptable3 Calculation: Lumens Required (L) = Lumens (L) / (ScreenGain X Port Window Efficiency X Color CorrectionEfficiency X 3D Efficiency)4 The resulting “Lumens Required” number you get would bethe “MINIMUM lumen requirement” to meet the desiredlight levels.75%BrightnessPower85%90%Desired lamp life95%100%7

6 Understanding this brightness curve will help when decidingwhich projector and lamp to use. It is important to select alamp that can produce the required brightness at the endof its life. Here is how this is estimated:• Select a lamp for an example from pages 5-6 of this brochureand reduce its maximum lumen value by about 25% as a startingpoint. This would be an estimate of the brightness that the lampcan achieve at/or near the END of its life at the stated warranty.For higher wattage lamps this value would be more like 30%or 35%. If you intend on running the lamp longer than thestated warranty then you would increase this percentage.Call this resulting lumen value the “maximum aged brightness.”• Take the “minimum lumens required” number and selectthe lamp/projector combination that can cover this with its“maximum aged brightness” value. It is best to be conservativewith this selection to make sure the required brightness canbe reached.How to preserve lamp life with theproper projector operating environmentProper operating environment conditions will preserve lamp life.1 Room temperature: Comfortable room temperature isusually acceptable. Between 50°F and 95°F (10-35°C).2 Room humidity (non condensing): 20% to 80%.3 External exhaust extraction: Use pages 5-6 of this brochureto find the proper air flow in CFM that is required:• Make sure this air flow is maintained anytime the projector is on.Add this measurement to all routine service visits.• Make sure that the air duct system has a damper feature whichcloses off to the outside air when the system is powered down.This will prevent dirty moist air from being pulled back down intothe projector when the system is off.How to ensure proper lamp houseelectrical connections to the lampXenon lamps operate at very high current or amperage levels.Because of this, any electrical connections are very critical.When installing a lamp make sure these connections are tightand secure.1 A loose or bad connection can cause the connector to burnwhich in turn will either break the electrical connection oroverheat the end of the lamp causing the seal inside thelamp end to fail. This will result in a lamp that will not ignite.2 Do not use any connectors that are discolored or burnt.Replace any discolored connectors before installing anew lamp.3 Inspect both end connectors for discoloration at everyroutine service visit.4 Lamps exhibiting burnt or discolored ends are not coveredunder warranty.How to determine average expected lifeOn pages 5-6 of this brochure, you will find an “Estimatedaverage expected life” number for each lamp/projectorcombination.1 This number is a guideline to help you determine how longa particular lamp can be operated under optimal conditionsas described here.2 If the operating situation is not optimal then a shorter lamplife can be expected.3 Non-optimal conditions would include:• Starting the lamp out near or above 100% power and runningit this way throughout its life.• Not providing adequate air extraction.• Poor operating environment.• Changing the power level drastically up and then back toaccommodate two different light level requirements suchas 2D then 3D.Christie Xenolite Lamp Champion WarrantyChristie Xenolite lamps are of very high quality and any failureis unlikely. If a lamp has failed for some reason then a servicetechnician should check the system and operating practicesto make sure that the lamp is being used properly. All ChristieXenolite lamps are covered under the Christie Xenolite LampChampion Warranty against any manufacturer defects. Theperiod of time is based on the warranty hours of operationgiven on pages 5-6 of this brochure and a period of twoyears from invoice date whichever comes first.1 If a warranty claim is required then prompt action mustbe taken. A “Xenolite Lamp Warranty Claim Form” mustbe filled out completely and submitted, following theinstructions on the form. These forms are in the lamp boxor they can be obtained by contacting the Christie officelocated in your region. Please see contact information onthe back of this brochure.2 If the request is unusual and it is suspected that the lampdid not cause the failure then Christie will contact the personmaking the claim to verify the operating conditions. This isto help prevent repeat failures caused by something otherthan the lamp.Best practices for lamp usage8
