Xenon is used for medical applications, light bulbs, electronics, and excimer lasers and for ion propulsion. Xenon has a high molecular weight and is used as window insulation to reduce heat loss due to convection between the panels.
Xenon has a light spectrum that is much wider than neon or krypton. Due to its high intensity light characteristics Xenon is used in high-intensity aviation approach lights, in high-efficiency incandescent bulbs for automotive, in plasma display panels, in operating room and ultraviolet lasers.
