The really bright ones that have that pure bluish white color are Xenon.  Actually, a rather old technology developed back in the late 50's / early 60's by the military for use in the spotlights on the M60 Tank.  I believe the actual chemical compund used in Xenon was discovered in 1898..................wow...wasn't the interesting! :D
