What is
Xelogen-
Xelogen is a gas which combines
Xenon and
halogen. The word is a portmanteau
of
Xenon
and halogen
Why
Xelogen-
Xelogen is used in lighting where it
is put in
light bulbs to make them last
longer. Unlike
halogen-only bulbs, Xelogen bulbs
can be
handled with bare hands and will not
be
damaged by being operated with
fingerprints
or other oils from the skin present
on the
exterior of the glass. Xelogen bulbs
also last
longer than ones with only one or
the other gas.
The marine industry has been
experiencing
premature burn outs for years
because halogen
lamps burnout easily with unstable
voltage
output in boats.
The UV rays from halogen lamps can
seriously
damaging fabrics and artworks,
Xelogen lamps do
not emit damaging UV rays, which
make it ideal
for highlighting sensitive fabric
and artworks.
