What is a Xenon Strobe? A xenon strobe is a lamp that produces a very short burst of high intensity light. This happens by discharging the energy stored in a capacitor through the xenon flash tube that is filled with xenon gas, at a low pressure. What is an LED? An LED is a Light Emitting Diode, it’s a special […]
There are many different types of beacon lamps with varying modes, however the most common modes are Static, Strobe, Rotating and Pulsing. Here we will take a look into each of these modes, as the mode you select for your application will not only aid increased awareness but it will also help people to know how to react. – Static […]
Xenon strobes work by discharging the energy stored in a capacitor through a special flash tube filled with xenon gas at a low pressure to produce a very short burst of high intensity white light. It produces it flash in 5 steps: The energy storage capacitor connected across the flash tube is charged from the power supply to a voltage […]
We are constantly updating the technology used in our beacons to make them more energy efficient. With that in mind, we have nearly completed the process of replacing all our filament lamp beacons with LED beacons. There is a global unavailability of filament bulbs as environmental factors have influenced the electronics market so with this in mind along with the […]
What are Xenon Flash Tubes? Ordinarily, xenon lamps are known for being much brighter than incandescent lamps, and they function very differently from other types of lamps. Flash tubes are similar to arc lamps that generate a full-spectrum of white light in an extremely short duration, yet require a high voltage power supply. Hundreds of industries are using xenon flash […]
