Elements Xenon gas:
Xenon gas activates the initial reaction for rapid illuminating.
Molybdenum electrode: anode arcingMetal halide salts: color composing
component
|
| (2) |
Lightening principle
When Xenon gas and metal halide salt will discharge the molybdenum
anode in a capsule, it emits light.
|
|
| 2. |
Ignitor Ignitor (A) is an electromagnetic
transformer that receives current from ballast and boost voltage to light
on the arc light source in any environment.
|
| 3. |
Ballast
| (1) |
Ballast (A) delivers
an instant high voltage pulse to the ignitor electrode, to initialize
discharge in the source. |
| (2) |
Ballast supplies the
stable power to the bulb and the ignitor during initialization and
normal state of arc.
|
|
| 4. |
Stability
| (1) |
Durable for vibration
as there is no filament. |
| (2) |
Does not operate if polarity
are changed. |
| (3) |
Doesn't operate if the
input voltage is not in the range of 10-16V. |
| (4) |
Doesn't operate if the
