What Is a Xenon Flashlight?
Xenon flashlights use light bulbs containing xenon gas. Compared to common flashlights with halogen bulbs, xenon flashlights last longer before burning out, produce brighter light and require less battery power. Does this Spark an idea?

Function
-
Xenon light bulbs produce light using a stabilized arc of electricity. Standard halogen flashlights use light bulbs with filaments instead, which deteriorate over time.
Light
-
Xenon high intensity discharge flashlights produce a whiter light that is more than two times brighter than a halogen flashlight's light. A xenon flashlight's light also is more uniformly distributed, unlike halogen flashlights, which produce light beams that appear to fade out around the edges.

Advantages
-
Xenon flashlights provide better visibility than halogen flashlights in cloudy or foggy weather and at night. They require about two-thirds the power of a standard halogen flashlight.
