Sam, are you talking about the ORC XH-16S? the power supply is an XPS-16S. Both units are very reliable, and give a nice light on the screen if aligned properly. The igniters are easy on the lamps, (they don't splatter shit all over the place on ignition) but you should have an aux blower mounted in stack. They are easy to align, easy to interface with automation units, and they don't weigh 1 zillion pounds. I have two of these units in my personal possession, and I would not part with them for hell or high water!
Only real downside....when you have to clean the blower that is inside the lamphouse, you need one stick of dynamite to blow the bastard apart so you can get at it.
In otherwords, ORC did not make that lamp "technician friendly" when it comes to cleaning the blower motor.
And, for Steve....you are right about that "Other 1600" lamp and power supply. Paul Mayer has one of the power supplies. Those are a bitch bitch bitch! I have one of those, too. Would not give you .02 cents for anyone of them.
