Term Details
Term:	Xenon
Subcategory:	Equipment
Definition:	A type of projection lamp that is balanced for daylight and is very bright. It cannot replace an arch lamp or tungsten lamp. Instead, a xenon needs another lamp housing on the projector. It is best with color film to request that a lab create a print that is balanced for xenon since it is balanced for daylight. The print is often referred to as a “5,400 print” because this is the color temperature of daylight.
