Xenon lamps use high current not high voltage to operate . thay only use highvoltage to ignite the lamp, ionize the xenon gas, and then the high current kicks in and dose the rest.

@iseesquares It also gives you dissociative effects even stronger then N2O :) mmm

To all the people who are criticizing the balloon demonstration: relax. It's not meant to be that rigid an experiment. It still made the point clear.

:D i like the balloon demonstration. "£40 quids with in here yea.... lets do this experiment"
-
his afro.... i love it

"There's no doubt that the Xenon balloon would fall faster if they were same shape anyway though."
Sorry, but you are mistaken.
But don't feel bad, Aristotle was wrong about the same thing.

I couldn't even believe he did that, as I was watching it!
Someone needs a review in basic physics!
What ruins (only slightly) the demonstration is the fact that the 'air' balloon is noticeably larger, therefore causing more air resistance.
There's no doubt that the Xenon balloon would fall faster if they were same shape anyway though.

Don't think Galileo would think much of your scientific method for proving the density of Xenon versus air. :p
