Mechanical installation

Xenon lamps should be exposed to as little mechanical stress as possible during installation, and care must be taken to install them with the correct polarity. In addition, to anticipate the forces of thermal expansion, lamps should be rigid mounted at one end only.

Xenon lamps are subjected to high thermal loads, and they are under high internal pressure. They must only be operated in enclosed housings. Non-operating lamps should be stored in their protective covers, and unprotected lamps require the user to wear safety glasses, a facemask, and gloves. When installing or removing a lamp from the equipment, the safety cover must be in place on the lamp.

Ensure adequate cooling of a lamp by forcing air through the end fittings and along with lamp envelope. Once the lamp is turned off, continue the cooling process for several additional minutes.
