ROLLVAC MP4500C

[roamer2017]

Does anyone know what the heck a ROLLVAC MP4500C is I found this bulb with connectirs and what looks to be mercury inside the bulb. I cant find anything on it.

It's possibly some sort of high intensity or ultraviolet lamp.

Some types contain droplets of mercury to maintain a mercury vapour filling in the tube.

Might be a Xenon lamp. http://www.copytechnet.com/forums/ricoh-savin-gestetner-lanier/11008-mp4500-sc101.html

I worked with a 1000 W Xenon lamp. It needed about 22 V at 40 A to run and 40 kV to start and you don't touch the lamp. Pressure inside the lamp is about 15 atmospheres. Changing the lamp was an ordeal.
