Fun fact- The xenon bulbs used in continuous lighting such as projectors and followspots are pressurized at several atmospheres. Common safety measures when changing those bulbs out involve a kevlar suit and face shield reminiscent of a bomb squad suit.
Yup, and the sheer size of a projector is because 90% is shielding in case of a lamp explosion. The actual functional circuitry is about the size of a pi.

The lamps also come in cages.
Yea they only seem practical for very specific uses now that we have LEDs.
