Why is Xenon technology essential for maritime lighting?

Naval searchlight systems equipped with high-pressure Xenon lamps are a key component for ensuring safe navigation in low visibility conditions. The intense white light generated by this technology can pierce through fog, rain, and even rough seas, providing a reliable and powerful visual reference even in the most critical situations.

Thanks to their high luminous performance, these searchlights allow the detection of obstacles, structures, or other vessels at long distances, significantly improving visibility and maneuverability. Beyond maritime navigation, Xenon searchlights are widely used in rescue operations, underwater exploration, offshore work, and even in the film industry for high-definition underwater shooting.

Power supplies and igniters for naval searchlights

What role do High Voltage Igniters and Power Supplies play in POWER LIGHTING Xenon systems?

The optimal operation of short-arc Xenon lamps requires a specially designed power supply system. This system consists of a High Voltage Igniters and Power Supplies, both carefully matched to the electrical characteristics of the lamp and the requirements of the entire system.

IREM offers a complete range of solutions for POWER LIGHTING with short-arc Xenon lamps from 150W to 15kW, developed to ensure maximum reliability and long lamp life, even under severe operating conditions.

Xenon Lamps: what are they and what are they used for?

Xenon lamps are special gas discharge lamps that operate on direct current (DC). Inside them, an electric arc passes through two electrodes inside a bulb filled with high-pressure Xenon gas. This process produces an intense and bright light, available immediately upon ignition, similar to natural sunlight.
