2. Fluorescent lamp - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluorescent_lamp

   Fluorescent lamp tubes are often straight and range in length from about 100 millimeters (3.9 in) for miniature lamps, to 2.43 meters (8.0 ft) for high-output lamps. Some lamps have a circular tube, used for table lamps or other places where a more compact light source is desired.

3. Fluorescent-lamp formats - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluorescent-lamp_formats

   These lamps are similar to the regular black light lamps, except they use wood's glass as a filter to reduce the amount of visible light emitted. These lamps are used for fluorescence effects where less visible light is ideal. 09 N/A Sun-tanning lamps: These lamps produce wide or narrow band UV-B radiation 10 BL Black-Light lamps: Black light ...

5. Lamp rerating - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lamp_rerating

   The following equations can be used to estimate the new operating point. The exact value of the exponent parameters will typically vary slightly with the particular lamp design. V a = Applied voltage V d = Design voltage. Rerated current = (V a /V d) 0.55 × current at design voltage [1]

6. Luminous flux - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luminous_flux

   Luminous flux (in lumens) is a measure of the total amount of light a lamp puts out. The luminous intensity (in candelas) is a measure of how bright the beam in a particular direction is. If a lamp has a 1 lumen bulb and the optics of the lamp are set up to focus the light evenly into a 1 steradian beam, then the beam would have a luminous ...

7. Spectral power distribution - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spectral_power_distribution

   Mathematically, for the spectral power distribution of a radiant exitance or irradiance one may write: =where M(λ) is the spectral irradiance (or exitance) of the light (SI units: W/m 2 = kg·m −1 ·s −3); Φ is the radiant flux of the source (SI unit: watt, W); A is the area over which the radiant flux is integrated (SI unit: square meter, m 2); and λ is the wavelength (SI unit: meter, m).

8. Lumen (unit) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lumen_(unit)

   A 23 W spiral compact fluorescent lamp emits about 1,400–1,600 lm. [4] [5] Many compact fluorescent lamps and other alternative light sources are labelled as being equivalent to an incandescent bulb with a specific power. Below is a table that shows typical luminous flux for common incandescent bulbs and their equivalents.

9. Compact fluorescent lamp - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compact_fluorescent_lamp

   George Inman later teamed with General Electric to create a practical fluorescent lamp, sold in 1938 and patented in 1941. [6] Circular and U-shaped lamps were devised to reduce the length of fluorescent light fixtures. The first fluorescent light bulb and fixture were displayed to the general public at the 1939 New York World's Fair.
