EGL K4 COLD WEATHER GAS
The best for all-weather applications, from below-zero regions to the tropics. The high percentage of Ne in K4 provides the heat necessary to completely vaporize mercury under cold weather conditions. Mercury required. Proven 14 to 49% brighter than competitive cold weather gases by independent laboratory.

EGL KRYPTON
In coated glass, Krypton (Kr) has much the same effect as Ar. In clear glass, the color could be best described as pale platinum. Should not be filled to pressures higher than 12mm because of the tendency to develop linear discharge.

EGL XENON
Xenon (Xe) is similar to Kr in color, but principally used in special effects for linear discharge, or for high-pressure flash tubes. This is a relatively high-resistance gas.
