An In-Situ Photometric and Energy Analysis of a Sulfur Lamp Lighting System Doug Crawford, Carl Gould, Michael Packer, Francis Rubinstein and Michael Siminovitch Lighting Research Group Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory University of California Berkeley, California 94720 Abstract This paper describes the results of a photometric and energy analysis that was conducted on a new light guide and sulfur lamp system recently installed at the U.S. Department of Energy's Forrestal Building. This novel system couples two high lumen output, high efficiency sulfur lamps to a single 73 m (240 ft.) hollow light guide lined with a reflective prismatic film. The system lights a large roadway and plaza area that lies beneath a section of the building. It has been designed to completely replace the grid of 280 mercury vapor lamps formerly used to light the space. This paper details the results of a field study that characterizes the significant energy savings and increased illumination levels that have been achieved.

A High-Efficiency Indirect Lighting System Utilizing the Solar 1000 Sulfur Lamp Michael Siminovitch, Carl Gould, and Erik Page Lighting Systems Research Group Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory Berkeley, CA 94720 USA ABSTRACT High-lumen light sources represent unique challenges and opportunities for the design of practical and efficient interior lighting systems. High-output sources require a means of large-scale distribution and avoidance of high-luminance glare while providing efficient delivery. An indirect lighting system has been developed for use with a 1000 Watt sulfur lamp that efficiently utilizes the high-output source to provide quality interior lighting. This paper briefly describes the design and initial testing of this new system. INTRODUCTION Currently the lighting market is seeing the evolution and emergence of sources producing high-lumen output, high-efficacy, and good color rendering quality. These sources, specifically the sulfur lamp and high-wattage metal halides, offer significant advantages in terms of efficacy, color rendering quality, and lamp life. The emergence of efficient high-lumen output lamps offers the potential for both reduced energy use and reductions in building costs associated with reducing the number of fixtures required to maintain a specific illuminance level.

Wang1, J. Qiu1 11Harbin Institute of Technology, 92, West Dazhi Street, Nan Gang District, Harbin, China 2 Kharkiv National University of Radio Electronics, 14, Nauky Ave., 61166, Kharkiv, Ukraine [email protected] Keywords: microwave heating, magnetron, electrodeless sulfur lamp, plasma, microwave excitation 1. Introduction For more than 50 years, interest to the microwave heating technology has not weakened. In addition to the traditional areas of its application, which described in detail in [1], recently there has been an expansion of technological possibilities for the use of microwave energy associated with the impact of electromagnetic waves of the microwave range on various materials (sintering of metal and ceramic powders) and media, including plasma [2]. One such new direction is the creation of high-power and environmentally friendly sources of optical radiation on the basis of the electrodeless sulfur lamp with microwave excitation [2, 3]. As it is known, Michael Ury and his associates at Fusion Systems invented this radically new lamp in 1990, but the lamp was not ideal because of the complexity of its design [4]. Therefore, it was not put into production. However, every year the scientific interest was growing. An analysis of scientific publications shows that every 5 years a new country is joined to this issue. Now more than in 10 countries of all would including USA, Great Britain, South Korea, Netherlands, Germany, Russia, and so on where there are research teams that are carried out an investigation concerning the electrodeless lamps with microwave excitation.

  • A Detailed Review on Types of Lamps and Their Applications JOURNAL
    JOURNAL OF PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL SCIENCES Journal homepage: http://scienceq.org/Journals/JPCS.php Review Open Access A Detailed Review on Types of lamps and their applications Askari Mohammad Bagher Department of Physics, Payame Noor University, Tehran, Iran *Corresponding author: Askari Mohammad Bagher, E-mail: [email protected] Received: December 9, 2015, Accepted: January 2, 2016, Published: January 2, 2016. ABSTRACT An electric light is a device that produces visible light by the flow of electric current. It is the most common form of artificial lighting and is necessary to modern society, providing interior lighting for buildings and exterior light for evening and nighttime activities. Types of lamps also have many applications in various sciences. This paper will study the lamps and their applications. Keywords: Incandescent light bulb, Halogen lamp, LED lamp, Fluorescent lamp, Carbon arc lamp, Discharge lamp . INTRODUCTION Before electric lighting became common in the early 20th century, people used oil lamps, gas lights, candles, and fires. Extensive use of electric lighting began with the invention of the first practical incandescent lamp by Thomas Edison and Joseph Swan in the nineteenth century Since then there have been Considerable improvements in lamp efficiency also the different types of lamp. As discussed in the overview, light sources used today can be divided into two main groups: incandescent and luminescent gas serous discharge lamps. The gaseous discharge type of lamp is either high or low pressure. Low-pressure gaseous discharge sources are the fluorescent and low-pressure sodium lamps Mercury vapor, metal halide and high-pressure sodium lamps are intended high-pressure gaseous discharge sources.

  • Leds – a Disruptive Technology?
    LEDs – A disruptive technology? Light Emitting Diodes or LEDs have been heavily featured in the entertainment industry news recently, there’s the law suit between Color Kinetics and Supervision of course, but there’s also a proliferation of new fixtures appearing, particularly in Europe. Everyone is getting excited. But LEDs have been around as light sources for over 40 years so why are they suddenly attracting so much interest? First fundamentally new successful lamp technology in 100 years To answer that question we need to briefly look at their history. You could describe LEDs as the only fundamentally new lamp technology to enjoy commercial success in the last 100 years. Incandescent lamps have been around since the 1830’s with the defining commercial moment in many people’s mind being Edison’s Menlo Park patent1 of 1880. Arc lamps are even older, dating back to the early 1800’s. You might have thought that fluorescent lamps are a modern invention, but not so; although they weren’t commercialized until the 1950’s the fundamental principles behind their operation were known in the 1860’s when Becquerel demonstrated them in Paris. The sulfur lamp of the 1990s was new – but so far the technology hasn’t lived up to its expectations and they haven’t yet been a commercial success. LEDs made the transition from the laboratory to commercial products in the early 1960s. Those first devices were infra-red only – no visible light – but they quickly found commercial use in sensors and scientific instruments. Their history since then has been a climb up in frequency, from the invisible infra-red to the visible with red appearing in the late 1960’s, green and yellow in the mid 1970’s and blue in the 1990’s.
