The light source consists of a discharge tube surrounded by a glass that filters out harmful UV radiation.
- The discharge tube is filled with a blend of chemical compounds, including the inert gas Xenon.
- An electric arch is created through an electrical discharge between two tungsten electrodes.
- Because the lamp does not have a filament, it is less sensitive to bumps and vibrations.
- Bulb designation: (special for reflector system).
- Power consumption: 35 W.
CAUTION:
The bulb contains mercury (less than 0.5 mg) and when discarded must be treated as hazardous waste. Hazardous waste must be handled according to the relevant statutory regulations.
