2. Intense pulsed light - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intense_pulsed_light

   Intense pulsed light (IPL) is a technology used by cosmetic and medical practitioners to perform various skin treatments for aesthetic and therapeutic purposes, including hair removal, photorejuvenation (e.g. the treatment of skin pigmentation, sun damage, and thread veins) as well as to alleviate dermatologic diseases such as acne.

3. Biological effects of high-energy visible light - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biological_effects_of_high...

   Blue light, a type of high-energy light, is part of the visible light spectrum. High-energy visible light (HEV light) is short-wave light in the violet/blue band from 400 to 450 nm in the visible spectrum, which has a number of purported negative biological effects, namely on circadian rhythm and retinal health (blue-light hazard), which can lead to age-related macular degeneration.

4. Light intensity - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light_intensity

   Several measures of light are commonly known as intensity: Radiant intensity , a radiometric quantity measured in watts per steradian (W/sr) Luminous intensity , a photometric quantity measured in lumens per steradian (lm/sr), or candela (cd)

5. Mercury-vapor lamp - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercury-vapor_lamp

   The ultraviolet light from mercury-vapor lamps was applied to water treatment by 1910. The Hewitt lamps used a large amount of mercury. In the 1930s, improved lamps of the modern form, developed by the Osram-GEC company, General Electric company and others led to widespread use of mercury-vapor lamps for general lighting.

8. High-intensity discharge lamp - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-intensity_discharge_lamp

   Different metals emit light at specific wavelengths when energized, and this characteristic determines the lamp's color output. Gas Discharge Process: The lamp's operation involves creating an electric arc across the electrodes within the arc tube. This arc generates intense heat and excites the gases and metal additives within the tube.

9. Luminous intensity - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luminous_intensity

   Light with the same radiant intensity at other wavelengths has a lower luminous intensity. The curve which represents the response of the human eye to light is a defined standard function y (λ) or V (λ) established by the International Commission on Illumination (CIE, for Commission Internationale de l'Éclairage ) and standardized in ...
