  2. Blacklight - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blacklight

    Due to its black body spectrum, an incandescent light radiates less than 0.1% of its energy as UV light. Incandescent UV bulbs, due to the necessary absorption of the visible light, become very hot during use. This heat is, in fact, encouraged in such bulbs, since a hotter filament increases the proportion of UVA in the black-body radiation ...

  3. Wood's glass - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wood's_glass

    Therefore, most contemporary "black-light" bulbs are made of structurally more suitable glass with only a layer of a UV-filtering enamel on its surface; [citation needed] such bulbs, however, pass much more visible light, appearing brighter to the eye. Due to manufacturing difficulties, Wood's glass is now more commonly used in standalone flat ...

  4. Fluorescent lamps and health - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluorescent_lamps_and_health

    An open (single envelope) CFL [12] An encapsulated/closed (double envelope) CFL. Some fluorescent lamps emit ultraviolet radiation. [citation needed] The Health Protection Agency of the United Kingdom has conducted research concluding that exposure to open (single envelope) compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs) for over 1 hour per day at a distance of less than 30 cm can exceed guideline levels as ...

  5. Black-body radiation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black-body_radiation

    When the body is black, the absorption is obvious: the amount of light absorbed is all the light that hits the surface. For a black body much bigger than the wavelength, the light energy absorbed at any wavelength λ per unit time is strictly proportional to the blackbody curve. This means that the blackbody curve is the amount of light energy ...

  6. Crookes radiometer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crookes_radiometer

    The radiometer is made from a glass bulb from which much of the air has been removed to form a partial vacuum. Inside the bulb, on a low-friction spindle, is a rotor with several (usually four) vertical lightweight vanes spaced equally around the axis. The vanes are polished or white on one side and black on the other.

  7. Phase-out of incandescent light bulbs - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phase-out_of_incandescent...

    Announced in 2011 China has banned imports and sales of certain incandescent light bulbs since October 2012 to encourage the use of alternative lighting sources such as light-emitting diodes (LEDs), with a 5-year plan of phasing-out incandescent light bulbs over 100 watts starting 1 October 2012, and gradually extend the ban to those over 15 ...

  8. Blacklight paint - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blacklight_paint

    This can enhance the effect of being in a fantasy world. Black light paints may be fluorescent or, more rarely, phosphorescent, containing a phosphor that continues to glow for a time after the black light has been removed. Black light paint can be mixed with similar shades of normal pigments, ‘brightening’ them when viewed in sunlight.

  9. Color temperature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_temperature

    An incandescent lamp's light is thermal radiation, and the bulb approximates an ideal black-body radiator, so its color temperature is essentially the temperature of the filament. Thus a relatively low temperature emits a dull red and a high temperature emits the almost white of the traditional incandescent light bulb.
