3. Lamp

Because of its high internal pr essure, there might be a risk that the Discharge lamp
would explode during operation. The lamp emits intense UV radiation which is harmful
to the eyes and skin. The high luminance of t he arc can cause severe damage to the
retina if looks directly at the lamp.
