- Bulb
- Elements
Xenon gas: Xenon gas activates the initial reaction for rapid illuminating.
Molybdenum electrode: anode arcing
Metal halide salts: color composing component
- Lightening principle
When Xenon gas and metal halide salt will discharge the molybdenum anode in a capsule, it emits light.
- Elements
- 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.
- Ballast
- Ballast (A) delivers an instant high voltage pulse to the ignitor electrode, to initialize discharge in the source.
- Ballast supplies the stable power to the bulb and the ignitor during initialization and normal state of arc.
