This is an aftermarket part, not an original manufacturer part. Instrument names and part numbers identify what it fits and replaces; they remain the trademarks of their owners. The manufacturer, country of origin, rated life and warranty are stated in the quote, before you decide anything. If you need the OEM part, say so and I will quote that instead.

Detector lamps and light sources

Tungsten lamp, WL type

Replaces OEM part number: 885-1200

Tungsten lamp, WL type, cross-referenced to 885-1200. A tungsten source covers the visible range, so it fails where a deuterium lamp does not: rising noise and drifting photometric accuracy above roughly 350 nm while the UV end stays clean. Tungsten dims gradually rather than failing outright, which is why it tends to be discovered during a calibration check rather than during a run. If your problem is below 350 nm, this is the wrong lamp and you want the deuterium one.

This lamp has no RFID chip. Some detectors read a chip to log lamp hours. On those, an untagged lamp reports a tag error and will not ignite until you set the lamp type manually, and you reset the lamp-hours counter yourself afterwards. It runs normally once that is done. What that involves. If you would rather have the chipped version, say so and I will quote that instead.

Before you order: if the instrument is misbehaving, tell me the symptom, not the part number. Lamps and seals get replaced for problems they did not cause. The first look costs nothing, and if this part is not the fix, I will say so.
