This Product Selection Guide contains information to help select products in the Xenon Lighting category on DigiKey.com
Products in the Xenon lighting family include flash (strobe) lamps and short arc lamps suitable for pulsed or continuous wave illumination applications. The high-intensity, broad-spectrum light producible by such lamps is used in photographic and analytical applications including colorimetry, chromatography, spectroscopy, and other applications where a high-intensity, broad-spectrum illumination source is desired. Note that xenon-bearing incandescent lamps are excluded.
SelectionCharacteristics
Type: Indicates the style and configuration of the device.
Style: Describes the form factor for the part.
Output Power: Describes a lamp’s initial optical output or maximum output, in terms of power for continuous operation lamps, or watt-seconds (joules) for flash lamps.
Voltage: Typically represented by a range, this indicates the low and high voltage limits which one can expect standard operation. Voltages outside this range may damage the device and other system components.
Visible Output: The typical luminous output of a device under rated operating conditions.
Temperature: Recommended operating temperature, typically given in a range or as a maximum. Exceeding these temperatures may affect performance or damage the device and other system components.
