Gas Plasma Switches

Gas plasma switches outperform solid state switches in ignition systems such as those for HID headlights that burn xenon. The specially designed gas discharge tubes release current in response to voltage surges. This makes them also useful as triggers in capacitive discharge ignition systems.
