xenon lights

Intense automotive illumination

Xenon lights are high-intensity lamps that produce light by passing electricity through xenon gas.

They're most familiar as automotive headlights, recognizable by their bright bluish-white glow: The xenon lights on that BMW are blinding.

Xenon bulbs also appear in camera flashes, projectors, and searchlights.

Sometimes called HID (high-intensity discharge) lights.
