Superior's xenon short arc lamps, filled only with xenon gas reach eighty percent of total output immediately after ignition. Quite different than the mercury-xenon short arc spectrum, the output of the xenon short arc lamp provides high intensity light similar to daylight with a color temperature of approximately 6000 degrees Kelvin. Along with high output in the visible spectrum, xenon short arc lamps provide an excellent supply of infrared radiation. These lamps are designed specifically to run in a vertical or a horizontal position. Liquid cooled xenon short arc lamps for spot lighting, search lighting, and solar simulation are manufactured by Superior Quartz Products, Inc. in the range of 12000 to 32000 watts.
