Karl Storz Karl Storz 300 Watt SCB Xenon Light Source

KARL STORZ XENON 300 Cold Light Fountain (Model 201331 20-1)

The KARL STORZ XENON 300 is a 300-watt xenon cold light source designed for rigid and flexible endoscopy across virtually all endoscopic disciplines. Built around a xenon lamp with a color temperature of 6000 K — matching natural daylight — it delivers exceptionally brilliant, true-color illumination that reaches full intensity immediately upon switch-on, making it well suited for both direct visual inspection and photo/video documentation.

Key Features

• 300 W xenon lamp with 6000 K color temperature for brilliant, sunlight-like illumination
• Microprocessor-controlled optomechanical dimmer that regulates brightness while keeping lamp current constant, avoiding arc instability and maximizing lamp lifespan
• Manual brightness control via front-panel +/- buttons (5–100% range, in 1% increments)
• Automatic brightness control via video camera output signal
• Integrated antifog air pump for endoscopes with a dedicated antifog channel, preventing lens fogging
• Standby mode that reduces light output and equipment temperature to near-ambient levels, minimizing lamp wear during short interruptions
• KARL STORZ-SCB® (Communication Bus) interface for remote control and remote display of device parameters
• Digital display and bar graph showing real-time output brightness
• Service mode displaying lamp operating hours, ignition count, unit operating hours, temperature data, and error codes
• Lamp life warning indicator (activates at 450–499 hours) and replacement indicator (activates at 500+ hours)
