LD 9843 XENON LAMP PARTICULARLY SUITED FOR AUTOMOTIVE APPLICATIONS ABSTRACT OF THE INVENTION Disclosed is a xenon lamp used for lighting applications and which is particularly suitable for automobile applications such as headlamps. The benefits of such usage, relative to incandescent lamps commonly employed for automotive forward lighting applications along with discharge lamps for lighting application, are primarily related to the size, shape, quality and concentration of the light generated by the xenon lamp and the ability to selectively move the position of the generated light relative to the reflector in which the xenon lamp is housed. The xenon lamp provides for the generation of high intensity light located in front of one of the electrodes of the lamp and is not spread such as along an incandescent filament nor spread between the electrodes as that occurring for other gas discharge devices. The xenon lamp also provides the ability for the light to be generated by excitation of a D.C. source so as to be first positioned relative to the reflector to serve as the light source for low beam applications and then moved to a second position relative to the reflector to serve as the light source for high beam applications. The size and shape of the xenon generated light are respectively smaller and more symmetrical, relative to the light generated by an incandescent source or other discharge devices, and both of these aspects contribute to reducing the size and improving the efficiency of the reflector needed for automotive forward lighting applications. The quality, that is, its color temperature and its color rendition is more advantageous relative to an incandescent light source LD 9843 for automotive applications in that it has an appearance of being more intense. The xenon light source is substantially instantaneously activated and generates light in a manner similar to the incandescent light source which is beneficial for automotive applications.
