   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Searchlight

   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.

4. Xenon arc lamp - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xenon_arc_lamp

   However, even in a high pressure lamp there are some very strong emission lines in the near infrared, roughly in the region from 850 to 900 nm. This spectral region can contain about 10% of the total emitted light. [citation needed] Light intensity ranges from 20,000 to 500,000 cd/cm 2. An example is the "XBO lamp", which is an OSRAM trade name ...

5. Infrared lamp - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infrared_lamp

   Incandescent light bulbs use a tungsten filament heated to high temperature to produce visible light and, necessarily, even more infrared radiation. Round bulbs, often tinted red to reduce visible light, provide infrared radiant heat suitable for warming of people or animals, but the power density available is low.

6. 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 ...

7. Metal-halide lamp - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metal-halide_lamp

   Like other gas-discharge lamps such as the very-similar mercury-vapor lamps, metal-halide lamps produce light by ionizing a mixture of gases in an electric arc.In a metal-halide lamp, the compact arc tube contains a mixture of argon or xenon, mercury, and a variety of metal halides, such as sodium iodide and scandium iodide.
