15 kW xenon short-arc lamp used in IMAX projectors High-speed, slow-motion video of a xenon flashtube recorded at a speed of 44,025 frames per second.. A xenon arc lamp is a highly specialized type of gas discharge lamp, an electric light that produces light by passing electricity through ionized xenon gas at high pressure.
A flicker light bulb, flicker flame light bulb or flicker glow lamp is a gas-discharge lamp which produces light by ionizing a gas, usually neon mixed with helium and a small amount of nitrogen gas, by an electric current passing through two flame shaped electrode screens coated with partially decomposed barium azide. The ionized gas moves ...

Aerolux Light Corporation was a manufacturer of artful gas-discharge light bulbs from the 1930s through the 1970s. [1] Aerolux made these bulbs in a factory in New York City . US Patents dating back to the 1930s describe the design and construction of these bulbs.
HID lamps produce different colors of light primarily through the use of various metal additives in the lamp's arc tube and the physics of the gas discharge process. [11] Metal Additives: HID lamps contain an arc tube filled with a mixture of gases, including a noble gas (like xenon). These metal additives are crucial for producing different ...
Gas-filled tubes exploit phenomena related to electric discharge in gases, and operate by ionizing the gas with an applied voltage sufficient to cause electrical conduction by the underlying phenomena of the Townsend discharge. A gas-discharge lamp is an electric light using a gas-filled tube; these include fluorescent lamps, metal-halide lamps ...
Geissler tubes were the first gas discharge tubes, and have had a large impact on the development of many instruments and devices which depend on electric discharge through gases. [ 1 ] : 67 One of the most significant consequences of Geissler tube technology was the discovery of the electron and the invention of electronic vacuum tubes .
Xenon short-arc lamp Space Shuttle Atlantis bathed in xenon lights Xenon gas discharge tube. Xenon is used in light-emitting devices called xenon flash lamps, used in photographic flashes and stroboscopic lamps; [21] to excite the active medium in lasers which then generate coherent light; [141] and, occasionally, in bactericidal lamps.
