Metal-halide lamps
Lights & lighting; Lighting bulbs & tubes
Metal-halide lamps, a member of the high-intensity discharge (HID) family of lamps, produce high light output for their size, making them a compact, powerful, and efficient light source. By adding ...
Fluorescent lamp
Lights & lighting; Lighting bulbs & tubes
A fluorescent lamp is a gas-discharge lamp that uses electricity to excite mercury vapor. The excited mercury atoms produce short-wave ultraviolet light that then causes a phosphor to fluoresce, ...
