Bulb
(1) |
Elements
Xenon gas: Xenon gas activates the initial reaction for rapid illuminating.
Molybdenum electrode: anode arcing
Metal halide salts: color composing component |
(2) |
Lightening principle
When Xenon gas and metal halide salt will discharge the molybdenum anode in a capsule, it emits light. |

Ignitor
Ignitor (A) is an electromagnetic transformer that receives
current from ballast and boost voltage to light on the arc light source
in any environment. 
|
3. |
Ballast
(1) |
Ballast (A) delivers an instant high voltage pulse to the ignitor electrode, to initialize discharge in the source. |
(2) |
Ballast supplies the stable power to the bulb and the ignitor during initialization and normal state of arc. 
|

4. |
Stability
(1) |
Durable for vibration as there is no filament. |
(2) |
Does not operate if polarity are changed. |
(3) |
Doesn't operate if the input voltage is not in the range of 10-16V. |
(4) |
Doesn't operate if the circuit is short. |
(5) |
Doesn't operate if the bulb burnt out. |
