  • Can HID Lamps Explode?

    Reading the really scary account of a Xenon lamp explosion on the 16mm forum, I am wondering if the HID lamps being used on 8mm conversions have the same possible dramatic ends to their lives, or are they a totally different animal?

    These lamps are used in the professional entertainment industry. Old friend of mine has never had one explode they usually just fizzle out. They replace after 500 hours as a rule to retain reliability and performance.
    Best choice at the moment for sure.
