Our lamps are the original replacement part used inside these machines. Send us your machine brand and handpiece model — we’ll confirm the exact lamp reference and ship within 3 days.
How to find your lamp
The lamp model number is usually printed on the lamp itself, on the handpiece label, or in the machine service manual. It typically starts with “F1” (Firstlight) or “HL” (Heraeus). If you can’t find it, send us a photo of the handpiece or lamp — we identify it for free.

Warranty & support policy
Every lamp we ship carries a 12-month warranty. No call centres — direct support from our IPL engineers.
12-Month Warranty
Covers manufacturing defects, early output degradation, seal failure and functional failure under normal operating conditions from shipment date.
1,000,000 Shot Guarantee
Every lamp is rated for 1 million flashes. If it fails before that threshold under normal clinic use, we replace it at no charge.
IPL Engineer Support
Direct access to our IPL engineers for installation guidance, lamp identification, compatibility verification and troubleshooting.
What’s covered
- Manufacturing defects — cracks, seal failures, burnout before rated lifetime
- Premature output degradation under normal operating conditions
- Ignition failure on first installation (Dead on Arrival)
- Wrong model supplied against a confirmed order
- Significant spectral output inconsistency from batch specification
What’s not covered
- Physical damage from improper handling (fingerprints, mechanical stress)
- Failure due to incompatible machine voltage or trigger settings
- Lamps that have exceeded their rated shot lifetime
- Damage from moisture, chemicals or extreme temperature storage
- Damage from incorrect installation or modified handpiece connections
Safe handling guidelines
High-pressure arc lamps require careful handling. Follow these guidelines to avoid damage before installation and ensure full warranty coverage.
Always wear gloves
Skin oils contaminate the quartz envelope and cause hot spots during operation, leading to premature failure. Use clean lint-free gloves at all times when handling the lamp body.
Eye protection required
High-pressure xenon lamps can shatter under stress. Wear appropriate eye protection when handling, installing or testing. Never look directly at a firing lamp without IPL eyewear.
Clean if contaminated
If the lamp glass is touched or contaminated, clean immediately with high-purity methanol (IPA) and a soft lint-free cloth. Allow to dry fully before installation.
No stress on the glass
Do not scratch, chip, bend or apply mechanical stress to the quartz envelope. High-pressure arc lamps will fail catastrophically if the envelope integrity is compromised.
Storage conditions
Store in the original packaging in a cool, dry location away from UV sources and humidity. Do not stack objects on top of lamp packaging. Minimum shelf life of 5 years when stored correctly.
Verify machine settings
Before installation, verify that your machine’s trigger voltage and energy settings are compatible with the lamp specifications. Incorrect settings void warranty and risk premature failure.
