A xenon arc lamp is a specialized type of gas discharge lamp, an electric light that produces light by
passing electricity through ionized xenon gas at high pressure. It produces a bright white light that
closely mimics natural sunlight. Xenon arc lamps are used in movie projectors in theaters, in
searchlights, and for specialized uses in industry and research to simulate sunlight. Xenon headlamps in
automobiles actually use metal-halide lamps where xenon arc is only used during start-up.
Types
Xenon arc lamps can be roughly divided into three categories:
• Continuous-output xenon short-arc lamps
• Continuous-output xenon long-arc lamps
• Xenon flash lamps (which are usually considered separately)
Each consists of a glass or fused quartz arc tube with tungsten metal electrodes at each end. The
glass tube is first evacuated and then re-filled with xenon gas. For xenon flashtubes, a third
"trigger" electrode usually surrounds the exterior of the arc tube. The lamp has a lifetime of
around 2000 hours.
History and modern usage
