  • Compact Fluorescent Light Bulbs
    Compact Fluorescent Light Bulbs What is a compact fluorescent lamp (CFL) bulb? A CFL bulb is a type of fluorescent bulb that screws into a standard light socket, such as a lamp or ceiling light fixture. CFLs use much less energy and last up to 10 times longer than standard light bulbs. What is in a compact fluorescent lamp (CFL) bulb? A CFL bulb is made of glass, a ceramic and metal base, a luminous powder called phosphor, and a small amount of mercury. How much mercury is contained in a CFL bulb? Manufacturers report that the amount of mercury contained in a CFL bulb is five milligrams, which is less than two ten-thousandths of an ounce. The mercury could be in the form of an invisible vapor or in a bead the size of the period at the end of this sentence. A mercury fever thermometer contains about 100 times more mercury than a CFL bulb. Is it harmful is it to be in the room where a CFL bulb has broken? The amount of mercury vapor that is released from one broken bulb is not enough to make anyone sick. However, it is best to avoid any exposure to mercury. We recommend that you ventilate the room air to the outdoors by opening a window or a door and leave the room for a few hours before cleaning up the broken bulb. How should I clean up a broken CFL bulb? It is not necessary to hire a professional to clean up the bulb. By following the directions below, you can safely clean up a broken CFL bulb.

The CFF series incorporates the newest electronic components, lamps, reflectors, and diffusion panels providing improved lighting distribution and control. These products are built for the demanding operational needs of the professional photographer and it is our expectation that your Skylighter CFF will provide you with years of dependable service. INTRODUCTION The Skylighter CFF series are an extremely diffused light head and require an external power supply. They have one, two, or four professional, plug-in, linear flashtubes, and one, two, or four non-adjustable, linear, fluorescent modeling lamps. The Skylighter CFF series are stand mounted on a strong, rotating yoke, but may be ceiling hung, as required. Before using your new Skylighter CFF for the first time, please read this manual carefully and acquaint yourself with the controls and features. In this way, you can quickly get the greatest benefit from your new unit and maintain an efficient and safe operation. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS Despite the measures that have been taken to make electronic flash equipment safe, it must be recognized that high voltages and high temperatures do exist within the power supply / lighting unit. Certain precautions must be observed in handling the unit. Contact with internal high voltage may result in severe injury or death. 1. Before installing or removing the flashtubes and modeling lamps, be sure this appliance is turned off, cooled and unplugged from AC power source and external power supply.

Xenon lamp automotive headlamp systems INTRODUCTION greatly improve the safety of driving at night. In recent years, High Intensity Discharge (HID) lamps FIGURE 1: VOLTAGE AND CURRENT have been accepted as a good lighting source for OF HID LAMPS AT STEADY automotive headlight applications. However, the start- STATE up process of an automotive HID lamp is complex. It consists of six stages and each stage presents different V characteristics, which need different control strategies. A digitally controlled ballast has many advantages over the traditional analog approach: • Convenient implementation of sophisticated control algorithms • High performance operation • Effective protection • Very robust I • Low cost This application note focuses on the implementation of HID Electronic Ballast an automotive HID electronic ballast using a Microchip GS-series 16-bit Digital Signal Controller (DSC). HID lamps present a negative resistance characteristic, which is shown in Equation 1. HID Lamp EQUATION 1: NEGATIVE RESISTANCE Gas is a good insulator under normal conditions. CHARACTERISTIC However, special conditions such as a strong electric field, x-ray radiation, ion bombardment, and high dV lamp < temperature heat could lead to ionization of gas ----------------- 0 dIlamp molecules and produce free-charged particles. These charged particles can conduct current under an electric field, which is known as gas discharge. This means the ballast is unstable if the lamp was directly connected to a voltage source.

  • Light-Emitting Diode - Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia
    Light-emitting diode - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light-emitting_diode From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia A light-emitting diode (LED) (pronounced /ˌɛl iː ˈdiː/[1]) is a semiconductor Light-emitting diode light source. LEDs are used as indicator lamps in many devices, and are increasingly used for lighting. Introduced as a practical electronic component in 1962,[2] early LEDs emitted low-intensity red light, but modern versions are available across the visible, ultraviolet and infrared wavelengths, with very high brightness. When a light-emitting diode is forward biased (switched on), electrons are able to recombine with holes within the device, releasing energy in the form of photons. This effect is called electroluminescence and the color of the light (corresponding to the energy of the photon) is determined by the energy gap of Red, green and blue LEDs of the 5mm type 2 the semiconductor. An LED is usually small in area (less than 1 mm ), and Type Passive, optoelectronic integrated optical components are used to shape its radiation pattern and assist in reflection.[3] LEDs present many advantages over incandescent light sources Working principle Electroluminescence including lower energy consumption, longer lifetime, improved robustness, Invented Nick Holonyak Jr. (1962) smaller size, faster switching, and greater durability and reliability. LEDs powerful enough for room lighting are relatively expensive and require more Electronic symbol precise current and heat management than compact fluorescent lamp sources of comparable output. Pin configuration Anode and Cathode Light-emitting diodes are used in applications as diverse as replacements for aviation lighting, automotive lighting (particularly indicators) and in traffic signals.

  • Long Wave Ultraviolet Sources for Mineral Collectors by Don Newsome UV SYSTEMS, Inc
    Long Wave Ultraviolet Sources for Mineral Collectors By Don Newsome UV SYSTEMS, Inc. 1-19-03 INTRODUCTION Mineral collectors are now faced with a choice of three different wavelengths of long wave (LW) ultraviolet (UV) sources. Two of these, which peak at approximately 350 nm and 370 nm respectively, can have quite different effects on fluorescent minerals. This is especially noticeable in the calcite cleavage rhombs from Múzquiz, Coahuila, Mexico. Often lamps are not marked with their emission peak but there is a way that collectors can know whether their lamp is a 350 nm or a 370 nm lamp. Please note that I use “lamps” which is the engineering term; however others call them bulbs or tubes. I would like to propose the terms “LW350” and “LW370” for the two emissions of fluorescent ultraviolet lamps. The third wavelength is also discussed in this article. Spectral emission scans of the LW350 and LW370 lamps follow, along with charts of most of the different LW lamps on the market. By using these charts and using Mexican calcite as a discriminating test, collectors should be able to tell what wavelength of LW lamp they have. Awareness of the LW350 and LW370 distinction should also help collectors refine their own observations of mineral fluorescence. Another result of this investigation was the discovery that the Blacklight Blue (BLB) LW370 lamps available, those produced by Philips Lighting have a very low visible light component and are now recommended for fluorescent mineral displays. None of the other BLB lamps made by other manufacturers have the low visible light filters.
