Description
A light source consisting of two electrodes enclosed in a Quartz bulb filled with Xenon gas. Xenon arc lamps were invented in the 1940's in Germany but not sold commercially until 1951 by Osram. Uniquely, the xenon arc lamp provides a constant light that is unaffected by voltage changes. Their spectral output is described as simulating sunlight combined with north sky light. Xenon lamps are used as high-intensity light sources in motion picture projectors, as studio spotlights, photographic flash lamps, and as light sources in accelerated aging chambers.
