3 .9 .2 xenon Bulb
The lamp bulb out of quartz glass encloses the electrode system and the xenon gas.
The discharge arc burns between the anode (+) and the cathode (-).
The cathode delivers the electrons. The anode takes off the electrons. The resulting
brake energy will be transformed into heat energy and then reflected. The discharge
arc (light arc) is stabilized through a magnet.

NOTE
Changing and disposing of the xenon bulb, see chapter 6.4.14.
