IREM I Arc lamp power supply LAMPS XENON LAMPS Xenon arc lamps are gas discharge lamps that operate with continuous current (dc). An electric arc, flowing through two electrodes inside a bulb ionized with xenon gas at high pressure, produces a bright white light closely to the natural sunlight. Xenon arc lamps are used in movie projectors, in theaters, in searchlights and for specialized industry uses and in solar simulation applications. These lamps require a very stable current and a low ripple for a long life. Several applications use xenon lamps also for the fact that the re-ignition is possible...
