   ATS officers-in-training crew a 90 cm searchlight in Western Command, 1944. A searchlight (or spotlight) is an apparatus that combines an extremely bright source (traditionally a carbon arc lamp) with a mirrored parabolic reflector to project a powerful beam of light of approximately parallel rays in a particular direction.

3. High-intensity discharge lamp - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-intensity_discharge_lamp

   High-intensity discharge lamps are a type of arc lamp. Brand new high-intensity discharge lamps make more visible light per unit of electric power consumed than fluorescent and incandescent lamps, since a greater proportion of their radiation is visible light in contrast to infrared. However, the lumen output of HID lighting can deteriorate by ...

   The PL500 ('500' refers to the power in watts of the xenon arc lamp) has eleven monochromatic bands, a ‘blank’ position that provides high intensity white light in the range from 380 to 650 nm and an optional infra-red output suitable for document examination. [citation needed]

   Similar to fluorescent lights, HMIs present problems with color temperature when used for film or video lighting applications.Unlike incandescent-lighting units, which are blackbody radiators limited to a theoretical maximum of 3680 K (the melting point of tungsten), HMI lamps, like all gas discharge lighting, emit the emission spectral lines of its constituent elements, specifically chosen so ...

   Hydrargyrum quartz iodide (HQI) is a trademark name of Osram's brand of metal halide lamps [1] made for general floodlighting, arena floodlighting, shop and commercial and industrial lighting. Hydrargyrum is the Latin name for the element mercury. When heated, mercury vapour is created inside the lamp, and deposited when it cools.

   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.

9. Metal-halide lamp - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metal-halide_lamp

   It is a type of high-intensity discharge (HID) gas discharge lamp. [1] Developed in the 1960s, they are similar to mercury vapor lamps , [ 1 ] but contain additional metal halide compounds in the quartz arc tube, which improve the efficiency and color rendition of the light.
