A xenon arc light for the Johnson-Sea-Linksubmersible

Harbor Branch Foundation has been working on the development of Xenon short-arc light for use in submersible based oceanographic research. This light differs from most underwater lights in that it closely matches the color temperature of sunlight ( approximately 6000 ͦ Kelvin). The light is used aboard both of the JOHNSON-SEA-LINK submersibles to study the deep ocean environment.
