Applicable To: Photographic
Xenon flashtubes emit a high intensity light ideal for a broad range of applications: Photographic : Both amateur and professional equipment.Traffic : Warning beacons for traffic control, aircraft, marine craft, emergency vehicles, airport runways and railroads.Industry : Stroboscopic applications such as automotive timing lights, dynamic balancing machines, high speed photo copiers and typesetting.Publicity: Strobes for window displays, psychedelic lighting.Science: Stroboscopic applications, laser pumping, colorimetry.Medicine: Endoscopic applications.
A Full Line We offer a full line of high quality, high performance flashtubes ranging from small linears to high-powerd helical, linear, ring and U-shaped lamps.
Long life High temperature seals, advanced cathode technology and high temperature processing guarantee consistently superior products. All lamps are individually tested for trigger and light output characteristics before shipment.
Reproducible Production Quality Unique high temperature processing, using highly sophisticated equipment, assures extreme raliability and reproducibility for both small and large production quantities.
High Light Output These flashtubes are designed to provide highest possible optical output within UV. visible and IR region. Color temperature of emitted light can be controlled for different applications.
Flashtube Construction
In principal the construction of the flashtube is quite simple. A glass or quartz tube is configured to the appropriate shape, filled with Xenon gas, and an electrode is sealed in at each end. Then, a means of triggering the tube . . such as a wire wrapped around the outer diameter . . is devised. Of course, the performance of such a tube is dependent upon things such as: . Type of glass or quartz envelope . Arc length or tube diameter . Electrode design . The Xenon gas pressure and composition . The method of triggering the flash.
