Hi Everyone,
I need a 300-watt Xenon lamp to experiment with a photocatalyst. However, I need some information such as,
1. Do I need any additional power source for the lamp to keep it ON for 12-24 hours?
2. What type of cooling fan is required to reduce the heat a 300 w Xenon lamp produces?
Thanks in advance
1. The best would be to contact the vendor or manufacture.
2. Commonly, Xenon lamps have a built-in fan to cool the lamp. They can decrease the heating of the sample by the lamp itself. Surely, you have to put a lamp on certain distance. The heat delivered to a sample by light is not 300 watt, much smaller. After cut-off filtering and focusing a light beam, the light power does not warm up the sample. Personally, I prefer to use LED as a light source. Stable, last long time, no heat, no high voltage and very cheap.
Yes, they do exist. The question is the spectrum. Xenon lamp emits light in a broad range of wavelength including UV, LED mostly in visible.
