Xenon-filled wedge-based lamps are designed for use in a variety of automotive, gaming machinery, aviation, signalling and architectural applications.

A new range of xenon-filled wedge-based lamps manufactured by CML-IT is now available from Rapid.

Designed for use in a variety of automotive, gaming machinery, aviation, signalling and architectural applications, the latest xenon lamps are currently available in three different models: 41-0766 (14V 3.4W rating, T10 size, 10000 hour life); 41-0768 (12V 5W rating, T10 size, 3000 hour life); and 41-0770 (12V 6W rating, T10 size, 1000 hour life).

Xenon lamps offer numerous advantages over traditional argon, krypton or vacuum filled lamps.

The new devices offer suppressed tungsten evaporation, meaning a cleaner, longer burn with less blackening.

A three times longer life and an increased light output by typically 30% more luminous flux are further benefits.

Lamp wall temperature is 30C lower compared with corresponding argon-filled lamps.

This is significant when the devices are in close proximity to surrounding plastic or wood materials, which could be damaged.

Furthermore, xenon lamps also benefit from a whiter light.

A higher filament temperature provides excellent contrast ratio and affords attractive sparkling appearance to the eye.
