Description
The Welch Allyn 3.5 V Halogen HPX Lamp is a 3.5 V Halogen HPX replacement lamp for Welch Allyn otoscopes and ophthalmoscopes that use the 06500 lamp. It suits clinics and practices replacing a dimmed or failed lamp in their 3.5 V diagnostic heads.
- Halogen HPX Output – the HPX lamp gives the bright, white light Welch Allyn diagnostic viewing is built on
- 3.5 V System – the lamp matches the 3.5 V handles and heads of the Welch Allyn diagnostic system
- For 06500 Heads – it is the replacement lamp designated 06500-U for compatible otoscopes and ophthalmoscopes
The Lamp Behind Bright 3.5 V Diagnostics
Diagnostic viewing quality is lamp quality: a tired halogen lamp yellows and dims long before it fails outright. This 3.5 V Halogen HPX lamp is the designated replacement for the Welch Allyn otoscopes and ophthalmoscopes that take the 06500 lamp. HPX lamps are specified for their bright, white output, which is what tissue color assessment assumes. Swapping the lamp restores the head's light without replacing the instrument. Practices keep a spare lamp per instrument room, because a dark otoscope stops the exam day.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is this lamp used for?
It fits into compatible Welch Allyn otoscope and ophthalmoscope heads as the light source for diagnostic viewing. It replaces dimmed or failed lamps.
How do I know this is my lamp?
Check the lamp designation in your instrument head or its documentation. Heads specified for lamp 06500 take this 06500-U. Other Welch Allyn heads use different lamp numbers.
How is this product sold?
It is sold as one each: one 3.5 V halogen HPX lamp, the price shown covers the full each, and the packaging counts are listed in the specifications above.
Is one lamp or a pack?
This listing is for one lamp. Many practices order a spare at the same time.
Is this the genuine Welch Allyn product?
Yes, this listing is for the authentic Welch Allyn lamp. Check the manufacturer SKU 06500-U in the reference section to confirm identity when the order lands.
Why does my lamp look yellow?
Halogen lamps yellow and dim with age and hours. That color shift is the sign the lamp is due for replacement, even before it fails.
