For Xenon we have terms and definitions in 7 topics. The topics are Cinematography, Concert Lighting, Energy, Explosives, Film, Film Production and Lighting.

Xenon (Cinematography)

A high intensity light, with a polished parabolic reflector. (Lighting)

Xenon (Concert Lighting)

A type of enclosed arc lamp which is commonly used in strobelights. It creates short bursts of bright high color temperature light. Some xenon lamps, combined with special power supplies create continuous output and are used in followspots. Xenon lamps are not generally dimmable.

Xenon (Energy)

A heavy gas used in specialized electric lamps.

Xenon (Explosives)

(Xe), gaseous element, discovered spectroscopically in 1898 by William Ramsay and M.W. Travers. It is a rare, colorless, odorless, tasteless Inert Gas used in certain photographic-flash lamps, in high-intensity arc lamps for motion-picture projection, in high-pressure arc lamps to produce ultraviolet light, and in numerous radiation-detection instruments.

Xenon (Film)

A very bright, daylight balanced projection lamp, or a projector with a xenon lamp. A xenon lamp is not interchangeable with a tungsten lamp or arch lamp, but requires a different lamp housing on the projector. Because xenon lamps are daylight balanced it is sometimes advisable with color film to have the lab make a print that is balanced for xenon. This is sometimes called a 5,400K print, the color temperature of daylight.

Xenon (Film Production)

A high intensity light, with a polished parabolic reflector. (Lighting)

Xenon (Lighting)

An inert gas used as a component in certain lamps to produce a cooler color temperature than standard incandescent. It is often used in applications where halogen may normally be specified, because of a longer lamp life.
