The Xenon lamp is of high value as a light source owing to the numerous spectral lines emitted by this gas when ionised, their relative intensities being such that a high quality white light is emitted. At high loading a near continuous spectrum can be achieved with outstanding colour properties, very similar to natural daylight.
Xenon lamps exist in three primary formats : Short Arc lamps in which the primary objective is to achieve a compact, high brightness source; Long Arc lamps in which luminous efficacy is optimised; and Flashlamps, which are designed to provide a brilliant pulse of light of short duration for photographic applications, warning beacons and special theatrical effects. |
