I work for Philips where me make those exact lamps. I see these lamps explode on a weekly basis we test all lamps to make sure they can handle the pressure from the xenon gas before we actually put it in and sometimes they explode in the machine which is quite a scary experience and yes sometimes the explosion is so violent the glass could look like sugar.

Proper Arm and body protection ? saw what an exploded lamp did to the inside of a digital cinema projector , lets just say some of the projectors optical path components where slightly rearranged into many non functional bits and pieces..

When I ran the local movie theatre projection booth, no one trained me on changing bulbs or focusing. Didn’t know I was supposed to have a leather jacket, face shield or gloves. Not until my last week did I receive them. 😮 I was in projection for 3 years.

Those tips look like they were used way over the specified warranty period. I'm not surprised the lamp exploded.... it doesn't last forever.

Osram is hit and miss. Thankfully we rock Ushio bulbs which are wonderful and never had a problem.

My Ushio bulb exploited today at the lab. It was supposed to last 1000 hours but just came to half of the way, 450 hours.

That's just a new invention in light bulb technology. The bulb that you easily can hoover up when it's done.

The replacement lamp looks like it is an Osram, whom I've read has had its ups and downs in the quality-control department. While there will always be a dud from even the best manufacturers, I've learned that Christie lamps are generally the most reliable with Superior Quartz not far behind, whereas bargain lamps are like MythBusters episodes in which they regularly end with a bang.

@@soundspark Christie lamps have been made by Japanese manufacturer Ushio probably since the early days of their Xenolite lamphouse and lamp line. In 1992, Ushio became Christie's parent company.

If the background comment of 3 months for the duration the lamp was first installed that’s not far from spec not knowing other details of hours on the lamp. Its not unusual for budget theaters to push a lamp well beyond rated life “because they still work” and once the lamp structurally fails they blame it on “manufacturing defects.” Inexperienced an/or ignorant “projectionists” do so all the time to save their jobs.

I never liked the light quality of Xenon for film projection. They were a very poor compromise for so called 'long play' systems. A properly trimmed carbon arc will knock a short arc xenon into a cocked hat, but then you need skilled projectionists to operate them!

And Carbon Arc Lamps are very inefficient. Still, I would love to have a WWII Searchlight.
