These light bulbs are an alternative to the original halogen light bulbs

Xenon light bulbs that uses xenon gas which produces a whiter light, and makes it more adaptable to the human eye. It gives of light color similar to daylight. Mainly used for lamps, cabnit lights, or fog lights. Xenon bulbs are twice as bright as the original halogen bulbs making it last tremendoous amounts of time.

I also have a Xenon flashlight, never failed me.

Xenon bulbs are much brighter than regular light bulbs. They are more expensive that normal light bulbs. this is partly because of the cost of xenon gas, but also because of the heat generated by the bulb that requires them to be housed in quartz instead of glass.


Why is xenon purple?

Xenon is a colourless gas. If you are referring to the light given out by HID Xenon bulbs, this is created by the electric arc generated inside the bulb. The colour of the arc can be altered by adjusting the mixture of chemicals in the gas. These are primarily various metal ions. Xenon gas is used because it is not only colourless, but is inert, meaning the high temperatures in the bulb will not cause it to react to any part of it. Xenon HID bulbs come in a range of colours from pure white through to purple. For use in cars, white or off-white is generally preferred, as these give the greatest light output. See: Xenon HID Bulb information as in the link below.

Why does your Maglite flashlight blow the light bulb as soon as you turn it on?

If you have recently purchased light bulbs for your light, it is probably because you have bought the wrong voltage bulb. There are several different types of MagLites and each one must match the voltage of the batteries to the voltage of the bulb. For example: If you bought a 3v bulb (2-cell) and put it in a 4-C Maglite, you'll blow the bulb (4 batteries x 1.5v = 6v total) There are two types of brand-name bulbs for incandescent (non-LED) Maglites. The original OEM bulb was a Krypton bulb and the newer, brighter bulbs are Xenon. They are available for all two through six cell C and D size Maglite flashlights. Krypton bulbs LWSA201 - 2-Cell Krypton LWSA301 - 3-Cell Krypton LWSA401 - 4-Cell Krypton LWSA501 - 5-Cell Krypton LWSA601 - 6-Cell Krypton Xenon bulbs LMSA201 - 2-Cell Xenon LMSA301 - 3-Cell Xenon LMSA401 - 4-Cell Xenon LMSA501 - 5-Cell Xenon LMSA601 - 6-Cell Xenon See the "Related Links" for examples of each


How much light does a 50w xenon bulb emit?

For a halogen xenon you'll get a max of about 30 lumens per watt, but more likely around 20. So for a 50 w you get around 1000 lumens.
