Xenon is a nonmetallic element with chemical symbol Xe. One of the elements of group 0 in the periodic table, atomic number 54. Colorless, odorless, tasteless, and extremely inert in chemical properties.

2. Xenon lamp (high-intensity discharge) refers to high-pressure gas discharge lamp filled with inert gas mixture including xenon, without halogen lamp filament, which is called HID xenon lamp for short.

Extended data:

1, xenon itself is non-toxic, and it is discharged in its original form after inhalation, but it has suffocation effect at high concentration. Xenon is narcotic, and its mixture with oxygen (20%Xe and 80%O2 by volume) is an anesthetic for human body.

2. Compared with argon-filled bulbs with the same power, xenon-filled bulbs have the advantages of high luminous efficiency, small size, long service life and power saving. Because of its strong fog permeability, it is often used as a fog navigation light and is widely used in airports, stations and docks.

3. Xenon lamp is a beam of arc light formed by activating xenon with high voltage current, which can emit light continuously between two electrodes. . Xenon lamp can obviously reduce the load of vehicle power system. The color temperature of automobile xenon lamp is between 4000 K and 6000 K, which is much higher than that of ordinary headlight bulbs.

4. The color temperature range of xenon lamp is 3000k- 12000k, of which 6000K is similar to sunlight, but contains more green and blue components, so it appears blue and white. This blue and white light greatly improves the brightness of road signs and signs.
