<h2>Research Grade Xenon, Arc Lamp Sources, Low/Med Power 75W - 300W</h2>

Test Standard: CE Compliant.
&nbsp;
Test Purpose:
&nbsp;
Sciencetech offers a selection of arc lamp sources for research applications. Short arc lamps are high-pressure discharge lamps. These lamps are especially suitable for optical applications because of their high radiance and luminance. Light is generated by a discharge arc burning freely between two electrodes. The length of the arc is determined by the distance between the two electrodes, which is usually only a few millimeters. This makes arc lamps an ideal point source of light.
