The Xenon lamp is an excellent light source for slide projectors because
it produces brilliant light of high color temperature. This is an ozone-free
lamp. The gas pressure enclosed within the bulb is about 10 atmo-
spheres when cold and will rise to 30-40 atmospheres during operation.
Since high voltage of more than 15,000V is required to ignite the lamp, a
starter, including a high tension generator, is provided. Careful consider-
ation for safety is necessary. To prevent the generation of ozone gas by
radiated ultraviolet rays, the bulb contains a small quantity of titanium.
The Xenon bulb has a rated life of 500-1000 hours. The bulb life is
shortened by turning the lamp on and off (striking the lamp). You will
achieve a longer bulb life by leaving the projector lamp on for longer
periods of time rather than repeatedly turning the lamp on and off during
your presentation.
