Xenon lamp refers to an inert gas mixture filled with xenon gas inside. Its luminescence principle is to raise the voltage to 23000V and above through the starter and electronic ballast, high voltage breakdown of xenon gas leads to the formation of arc and luminescence between the two electrodes.

Speaking of xenon lamp, its origin can be traced back to 1930s, when American engineer Edgerton invented xenon flash lamp. In the early 1940s, the laboratory of the Development research Center of The Osland Company in The Federal Republic of Germany took the lead in studying the characteristics of the rare gas short arc light source. After years of development and improvement, the ultra high pressure short arc xenon lamp was officially launched to the market in 1951. In 1954, Zeiss, a company specializing in manufacturing optical systems, industrial measuring instruments and medical devices, exhibited the first xenon lamp used as a film projection light source at the Federal World Lighting and Film Fair in Cologne, Germany. Since then, the uHV short arc xenon lamp has replaced the arc source as a new film projection light source in most cinemas in the world. With the discovery and continuous innovation of the advantages of xenon lamp such as high luminance intensity and good color rendering, xenon lamp has been gradually applied to automobile and motorcycle lighting, which has set off the craze of automobile and motorcycle headlights refit. Automotive xenon lamps began to enter the Chinese market in 2001. China started manufacturing xenon lamps for cars in 2005.

In recent years, xenon lamp in addition to continue to play its advantage in the automotive lighting field, in the aspect of high-power civil lighting also began to show. With the rapid development of urban construction and the increasing scale of road lighting projects in China, "energy conservation and emission reduction" has become the guiding ideology of urban road energy conservation at the present stage under the promotion of the increasingly urgent energy and environmental crisis. Shandong hundred million source photoelectric technology co., LTD., research and development of high-pressure xenon lighting system well responded to the call of the national energy conservation and emissions reduction, it has high energy saving efficiency and color rendering, wide range of color temperature, light failure is small, long service life, projection capability is strong, effective support and other significant characteristics of warm start, stand out in the numerous sources, become today's hottest emerging energy saving lighting source.
