The xenon short-arc lamps are made of a thin layer of fused quartz and contain xenon gas at a pressure of about 25 atmospheres ( 367 PSI ); because of this, projectionists are required to wear protective body armor when changing or handling these in case the lamp breaks ( e. g., due to a drop to the floor ) because of the danger from flying quartz shards when propelled by the high pressure of the Xenon gas within.
