Xenon Lights FAQ
- Q) What makes these fixtures xenon light fixtures?
- A) Xenon gas has been introduced into the glass envelope of the lamp used in these fixtures.
- Q) Why is xenon gas added into the glass envelope of the lamp?
- A) The addition of this gas into the glass envelope increases the rated life of the lamp.
- Q) What is the rated life of these xenon lamps?
- A) Depending on the lamp somewhere between 10,000 and 20,000 hours.
- Q) What does "rated life" mean?
- A) The "rated life" of a lamp signifies the time at which 50% of a large quantity of these lamps will have burned out. That means that 50% of these lamps will burn out BEFORE the "rated life" and 50% will burn out AFTER the "rated life". The "rated life" does not mean that every one of the lamps will last at least that long.
- Q) Is this definition of "rated life" true for all lamps?
- A) Yes, this is the standard rating for the life of all lamps.
- Q) Do xenon lamps operate cooler than halogen lamps?
- A) Yes, they do - especially line voltage (120 volts) halogen lamps.
- Q) Are xenon lamps dimmable?
- A) Definitely.
- Q) What kind of dimmer should be used with xenon lamps?
- A) If the xenon lamp is powered by an electronic low voltage transformer, then the dimmer should be one that is designed to control an electronic low voltage transformer. If, however, the xenon lamp is line voltage (120 volts), then simply use a line voltage dimmer.
- Q) What "kind of light" is given off by the xenon festoon lamps?
- A) Xenon lamps have a Color Temperature that is between ordinary incandescent and halogen. That is, the light is cooler in appearance than incandescent but warmer in appearance than halogen.
- Q) Do I have to be concerned about touching a xenon lamp with my bare hands?
- A) Unlike JC halogen lamps xenon lamps may be handled with bare hands without experiencing premature lamp failure.
Advantages of Xenon Light Fixtures
Longer Lamp Life
In general, xenon light bulbs last longer than similar halogen light bulbs. Some xenon light bulbs last up to 100,000 hours!
Touch the Glass All You Want
Unlike halogen light bulbs xenon light bulbs may be touched by bare hands without the oil from your hands severely reducing the rated life of the lamps.
More Tolerant of Unstable Voltages
Halogen light bulbs burn out easily when unstable voltage is applied to them (like in the marine industry). However, xenon light bulbs are much more tolerant of unstable voltages, which results in longer life.
Minimal UV Rays
The ultraviolet rays from halogen lamps can seriously damage fabrics and art work. Xenon light bulbs, on the other hand, emit minimal UV rays, which make them ideal for lighting sensitive fabric and art work.
No High Pressure Danger
One of the biggest concerns with halogen light bulbs is that the gas inside the glass envelope is under relatively high pressure, which can become a safety concern. With xenon light bulbs the gas inside the glass envelope is under much lower pressure, which means they are less prone to "non-passive failure". This, in turn, means that xenon light bulbs are not required to have a glass cover and if a glass cover is used to diffuse the light that the glass diffuser does not have to be tempered.
Lower Temperature
In general, xenon light bulbs operate at lower temperatures than similar halogen light bulbs.
Dimmable
Xenon light bulbs may be easily dimmed, which lengthens the life of the lamp, reduces energy costs, and controls the light levels to suit the situation.
Excellent Color Rendering
Xenon light bulbs have an excellent color rendering index (CRI) of 100.
