Little display of big lamps

Here is one of my collection displays, showing some really large and unusual lamps. From top to bottom we have a 3 kW 4-electrode soviet sodium-scandium MH lamp, an 18 kW German metal halide short-arc lamp, a 7 kW Soviet stage and studio MH arc lamp, and three xenon short-arc lamps on the bottom shelf, two 1-kW lamps on top and a big 20-kW one at the bottom. The latter came from old NASA stock and was used for the illuminations of launchpads at Cape Canaveral.

Very nice, I've always been rather wary of those short arc xenon lamps, I'll leave them to Photon to blow up, don't want one going off in here Mind Blown Mr. Green

Sure, xenon short-arc lamps are inherently dangerous due to their high internal pressure, but there's nothing to fear if they are handled responsibly Wink

Ah, well you know me, irresponsible is my middle name Razz Mr. Green
