I was reading an article where they use the terms, xenon, HID, and metal halide interchangeably.
The article is drawing a comparison between these lights vs. incandescent lights.
I've always been under the impression that xenon was an incandescent bulb, but this article implies that it is not.
Many incandescent 3v flashlights are advertised as having xenon bulbs, so I am confused.
What is what with the terminology? I know that LED is a chip as opposed to a bulb, but are metal halide, HID, incandescent, xenon all the same thing? Are they all bulbs?
Thanks!
