Frequently Asked Questions

What spectral correction ranges are available?

The specification table lists 370–780 nm, 300–780 nm, 350–2500 nm, and 300–2500 nm ranges, depending on the model.
What is the difference between transparent and frosted filters?

In the listed configurations, transparent-filter models are specified at 26000 cd and 60°, while frosted-filter configurations are generally listed at 12600 cd and 72°. XG-500CF is a frosted color-evaluation model at approximately 6500 K.
How should I confirm ultraviolet or infrared requirements?

Spectral correction ranges and filter configurations differ by model. Please provide the target wavelength range and test conditions to SERIC so the appropriate configuration can be confirmed.
What installation options are available?

The page lists tripod stand ST-C03P, downward irradiation bracket DW50, and ceiling flange FC-30L for separate or integrated power-supply mounting.
Can the XELIOS 500W Series be used outside Japan?

The specifications list AC 100–120 V or AC 200–240 V at 50/60 Hz and include overseas power-cord options. Confirm the country, electrical conditions, and installation requirements with SERIC before ordering.
What information should I provide when requesting a quotation?

Provide the intended application, required wavelength range, preferred filter or diffusion, required light intensity, installation method, and country of use.
Is a 1 SUN or 100,000 lux configuration available?

Special SuperSpot configurations are available upon request for either 1 SUN (1,000 W/m²) or 100,000 lux. The same configuration does not provide both conditions simultaneously. Contact SERIC and review the dedicated SuperSpot page for details.
