Xenon lamp

Term · Chemistry · MLC-T-CHM-012739

A type of gas discharge lamp that produces light by passing electricity through ionized xenon gas. These lamps emit a broad spectrum of light, closely approximating natural daylight, and are known for their high intensity and long lifespan. They are commonly employed in applications requiring bright, full-spectrum illumination, such as projectors, automotive headlamps, and scientific instruments.
