Features
• Xenon Flash Tubes are ideal for high-speed precision image processing because they emit repeatedly intensive light instantaneously with strong luminous flux, making them ideal for photo taking and signal generation purposes.
  
• The lamps convert high power input into high-intensity continuous line spectrums within an extremely short period of time (several milli-seconds). The light emitted is almost identical to the color temperature of sunlight.
  
• Most of the current xenon flash tubes are linear with diameters ranging from 1.50mm to 7.4mm, lengths from 13mm to 130mm. Nam Kwong also have U-shaped and curvilinear, all of which may be tailor-made according to customers’ specifications.
  

Applications

Structure of Xenon Flash Tube

Xenon Gas :

Xenon Gas could emit light similar to sunlight’s color temperature which would reflect color truly in photo taking. Moreover, it functions at lower voltage with higher efficient merits in light emission.

Glass :

Nam Kwong uses high quality hard glass, the High-Borate Borosilicate Glass, to manufacture xenon flash tubes. It can be easily sealed with tungsten because of their similar coefficient of expansion. Moreover, the Borosilicate glass has the characteristics of high electrical insulation and special optical properties. As a result, it can withstand repetitive flashing over a long period of time.

Anode and Cathode :

The components of the anode and cathode are mainly comprised of electrode (tungsten) and metal tubing. The main function of electrode (tungsten) is to be an air-tight conductive material. Metal tubing has the function of emitting electrons and withstanding intensive electron firings.

Titanium Alloy :

Titanium Alloy is made of Titanium and other active rare metals. Impure gases are absorbed chemically while the lamp is discharging, and physically while the lamp is not discharging. The alloy maintains the purities of the lamp interior as well as the gettering functions over a long period of time. Titanium alloy, a highly active material, is formed through combustion. Under certain conditions, when reacting with most kinds of gases, can form a stable, non-revertible chemical compound.

Conductive Coating :

The function of the conductive coating is to trigger voltage to ionize xenon gas fully inside the lamp.
