2. Halogen lamp - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halogen_lamp

   A halogen lamp (also called tungsten halogen, quartz-halogen, and quartz iodine lamp) is an incandescent lamp consisting of a tungsten filament sealed in a compact transparent envelope that is filled with a mixture of an inert gas and a small amount of a halogen, such as iodine or bromine. The combination of the halogen gas and the tungsten ...

3. High-intensity discharge lamp - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-intensity_discharge_lamp

   High-intensity discharge lamp. High-intensity discharge lamps (HID lamps) are a type of electrical gas-discharge lamp which produces light by means of an electric arc between tungsten electrodes housed inside a translucent or transparent fused quartz or fused alumina arc tube. [1] This tube is filled with noble gas and often also contains ...

4. Hydrargyrum quartz iodide - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrargyrum_quartz_iodide

   Hydrargyrum quartz iodide (HQI) is a trademark name of Osram 's brand of metal halide lamps [1] made for general floodlighting, arena floodlighting, shop and commercial and industrial lighting. Hydrargyrum is the Latin name for the element mercury. When heated, mercury vapour is created inside the lamp, and deposited when it cools.

5. Metal-halide lamp - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metal-halide_lamp

   A metal-halide lamp is an electrical lamp that produces light by an electric arc through a gaseous mixture of vaporized mercury and metal halides [1][2] (compounds of metals with bromine or iodine). It is a type of high-intensity discharge (HID) gas discharge lamp. [1] Developed in the 1960s, they are similar to mercury vapor lamps, [1] but ...

6. Infrared heater - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infrared_heater

   An infrared heater or heat lamp is a heating appliance containing a high-temperature emitter that transfers energy to a cooler object through electromagnetic radiation. Depending on the temperature of the emitter, the wavelength of the peak of the infrared radiation ranges from 750 nm to 1 mm. No contact or medium between the emitter and cool ...

7. Mercury-vapor lamp - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercury-vapor_lamp

   The small diagonal cylinder at the bottom of the arc tube is a resistor which supplies current to the starter electrode. A mercury-vapor lamp is a gas-discharge lamp that uses an electric arc through vaporized mercury to produce light. [1] The arc discharge is generally confined to a small fused quartz arc tube mounted within a larger soda lime ...

8. Xenon arc lamp - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xenon_arc_lamp

   A xenon arc lamp is a highly specialized type of gas discharge lamp, an electric light that produces light by passing electricity through ionized xenon gas at high pressure. It produces a bright white light to simulate sunlight, with applications in movie projectors in theaters, in searchlights, and for specialized uses in industry and research.

9. Hydrargyrum medium-arc iodide lamp - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrargyrum_medium-arc...

   Hydrargyrum medium-arc iodide (HMI) is the trademark name of Osram 's brand of metal-halide gas discharge medium arc-length lamp, [1] made specifically for film and entertainment applications. Hydrargyrum comes from the Greek name for the element mercury. An HMI lamp uses mercury vapour mixed with metal halides in a quartz -glass envelope, with ...
