I got a call from my office today, someone sent a xenon bulb to them looking for this type, the lady in the office cannot cross this model number from the bulb, maybe someone knows this bulb number & manufacture..the number on the Xenon bulb is CSX3000W/HOF, all we know is it is from a Xetron lamphouse, model number unknown, Xetron was no help, anyones knows who makes this model number bulb, this is all the info I have, Thanks guys...

CSX should cross to a Philips lamp. I can't find that exact number though; the closest I find is a CSX 3000W/HC which crosses to Osram XBO 3000W/H OFR. Maybe the HOF refers to Horizontal Ozone Free? Hope this helps,
Chris

It is a XBO3000H but the pin may be slightly different in size as phillips had some slight differences

Finally I found the specs on the CSX3000WhoF

Open circuit voltage 100v
Operating voltage 30v
Operating Current 100a
Lamp power 3000w
Current regulation 60-110a
Luminous Flux 130000 lm
Luminous Intensity 1200cd
Average Luminance 8500cd/cm2
average life horizontal 1200hr
average life vertical 1500hr
burning position vertical +/- 20
horizontal +/-20
forced air cooling required
arc length (hot) 5.5mm
light length center (cathode shoulder to cathode tip)142mm
envelope diametre 56mm
distance between flanges 320mm
overall length 360mm
anode pin dia 13mm
cathode pin dia 14mm
which as one will notice puts it in a no mans land o no direct replacement
It is longer than the XBO3000HS and has a different pin size and is shorter than the XBO3000W so an adapter will be required depending on the lamphouse
