Xenon lamps/bulbs do not emit damaging UV rays, which make these ideal for highlighting sensitive fabric and artworks. Xenon lamps/bulbs are much more tolerant when dealing with unstable voltages resulting in longer life. Xenon bulbs are filled with low-pressured xenon gas. Lamps based on xenon technology can be handled with bare hands with no effect on lamp life.
