As I drag the Arthouse kicking and screaming into the 20th century, I find my self in need of adaptors to suit the OSRAM XBO 2500W HS XL OFR xenon lamp into a Xebex HI Beam IIIR lamphouse.

I should be able to spin some up if I can get the dimensions but I can't find either a lamphouse manual nor adaptor dimensions.

Any help would be gratefully accepted.

Cheers.

It's been a while since I worked on a HiBeam, decent lamphouses with some peculiarities. I think they use HTP threaded pin lamps so the adapter might be a trick - hopefully threading isn't a problem for you.
I would look at an Osram lamp manual, the dimensions and end details for all their xenon lamps are listed. You should be able to design an adapter from that data.
