Krypton/Xenon

Why Choose Krypton & Xenon Bulbs?

Krypton and xenon light bulbs are advanced incandescent variants that use noble gas fills (rather than simple argon or nitrogen) to improve heat-management, efficiency and filament life. In particular, xenon gas allows the filament to operate hotter and with greater light output while krypton gives better performance than standard gas fills. These bulbs are especially well suited for specialty, accent, decorative or commercial lighting where performance and durability are key.

Shapes, Sizes & Base Types in This Collection

Our collection of krypton & xenon bulbs spans many typical form-factors and bases so you can find the right fit for your fixture or application:

• Tubular (T-series): Common sizes such as T3, T5, T8 – slim, linear envelopes often used in display lighting or decorative fixtures.
• Miniature & Capsule Shapes: G4, GY6.35, wedge-base and small-form bulbs, used in accent lighting, landscape lighting, signage or compact housings. 
• Decorative & Candle-Style Shapes: Bulbs in globe, flame or torpedo profiles for chandeliers, sconces, hospitality lighting and exposed socket designs. 
• Base Types:
  • E12 / E14 Candelabra Screw: Often found in decorative fixtures and smaller specialty lamps.
  • E26 / E27 Medium Screw: Common household compatibility in drop-in fixtures.
  • Bi-pin & Wedge Bases: Low-voltage and mini-lamp formats such as wedge, bi-pin, rigid loop etc for compact or accent installations.

Voltage, Light Quality & Finish Options

Krypton and xenon bulbs often run at standard line voltages (120 V, 230 V) or low‐voltage systems (12 V, 24 V) depending on the application. They deliver clean white light, improved filament life and excellent color fidelity—ideal when light quality matters. Glass finishes may include clear (showing the filament), frosted/soft white or specialty tinted for decorative effect.

Applications & Design Uses

Consider krypton/xenon bulbs whenever you need lighting that combines high performance, specialty fit or visible-filament aesthetic:

• Accent & Decorative Lighting: Use in chandeliers, open pendants, hospitality fixtures or anywhere the bulb is visible and the visual looks matter.
• Display & Showcase Lighting: Excellent for galleries, museum cases, retail displays or any fixture where crisp, high-quality light enhances visual appeal.
• Commercial & Specialty Installations: Suitable for signage, mini-floods, landscape lighting, and retrofit applications where longevity and performance are required.

What to Consider Before You Buy

1. Fixture Compatibility: Check the base type (E12, E26, bi-pin, wedge) and ensure your fixture supports krypton/xenon lamp usage.
2. Voltage & Transformer Requirements: Confirm the voltage—line voltage (120/230 V) or low voltage (12/24 V) as required by your fixture or transformer.
3. Heat & Enclosure Ratings: These bulbs often run hotter than standard LEDs; ensure your fixture allows for proper ventilation and rating compliance.
4. Light Quality Desired: Choose clear glass if the filament look is important; frosted glass for softer light and reduced glare.
5. Durability & Life Span: Krypton/xenon fill lamps often yield longer filament life and better performance than standard incandescent or halogen alternatives.
