2. Energy Star - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_Star

   EPA graphic promoting light bulb replacement. The Energy Star is awarded to only certain bulbs that meet strict efficiency, quality, and lifetime criteria. Energy Star qualified fluorescent lighting uses 75% less energy and lasts up to ten times longer than normal incandescent lights. [31] Energy Star Qualified light-emitting diode (LED) Lighting:

3. 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.

4. Ultra-high-performance lamp - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultra-high-performance_lamp

   Ultra-high-performance lamp. An ultra-high-performance lamp, often known by the Philips trademark UHP, is a high-pressure mercury arc lamp. [1] These were originally known as ultra-high-pressure lamps, [2] [3] because the internal pressure can rise to as much as 200 atmospheres when the lamp reaches its operating temperature.

5. Multifaceted reflector - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multifaceted_reflector

   These lamps use a bi-pin connector for power: 12-volt MR11 bulbs usually use a GU4 base, and 12-volt MR16 bulbs usually use a GU5.3 base. The common 12-volt MR16 lamps, therefore, require a ferromagnetic or electronic transformer —sometimes misnamed as a ballast —to convert the 120- or 230-volt mains voltage to the extra-low voltage ...

6. Mercury-vapor lamp - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercury-vapor_lamp

   Cooper Hewitt lamp, 1903 Production of high-pressure mercury-vapor lamps, 1965. Charles Wheatstone observed the spectrum of an electric discharge in mercury vapor in 1835, and noted the ultraviolet lines in that spectrum. In 1860, John Thomas Way used arc lamps operated in a mixture of air and mercury vapor at atmospheric pressure for lighting. [4]

7. High-intensity discharge lamp - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-intensity_discharge_lamp

   High-intensity discharge lamps are a type of arc lamp. Brand new high-intensity discharge lamps make more visible light per unit of electric power consumed than fluorescent and incandescent lamps, since a greater proportion of their radiation is visible light in contrast to infrared. However, the lumen output of HID lighting can deteriorate by ...
