2. Rope light - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rope_light

   A length of illuminated rope light. A rope light is primarily used as a decorative lighting fixture, featuring small lights linked together and encased in a PVC jacket to create a string of lights. Rope lights can be used in many applications both indoors and outdoors. [1] Used in place of neon signs, it is sometimes called soft neon.

3. Neon lamp - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neon_lamp

   A General Electric NE-34 glow lamp, manufactured circa 1930. Neon was discovered in 1898 by William Ramsay and Morris Travers.The characteristic, brilliant red color that is emitted by gaseous neon when excited electrically was noted immediately; Travers later wrote, "the blaze of crimson light from the tube told its own story and was a sight to dwell upon and never forget."

4. Neon lighting - Wikipedia

   The term can also refer to the miniature neon glow lamp, developed in 1917, about seven years after neon tube lighting. [1] While neon tube lights are typically meters long, the neon lamps can be less than one centimeter in length and glow much more dimly than the tube lights. They are still in use as small indicator lights.

5. Gas-discharge lamp - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas-discharge_lamp

   [1] [2] They include the sodium-vapor lamp that is the gas-discharge lamp in street lighting. [3] [4] [1] [2] In operation, some of the electrons are forced to leave the atoms of the gas near the anode by the electric field applied between the two electrodes, leaving these atoms positively ionized.

6. Neon-sign transformer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neon-sign_transformer

   An iron cored neon-sign transformer, with a 9-volt battery for scale. A neon-sign transformer (NST) is a transformer made for the purpose of powering a neon sign. They convert mains voltage in the range 120-347 V up to high voltages, in the range of 2 to 15 kV. These transformers supply between 18-30 mA; 60 mA on special order. [1]

7. Parabolic aluminized reflector - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parabolic_aluminized_reflector

   As with the case of LED MR lamps, LED PAR lamps generally use an array of individual LED elements that are unsuitable for reflector operation. Nevertheless, some degree of beam control can be obtained with aperture or lens, and LED PAR 38 replacements with a 40° spread is common. Models built for stage lighting may use less similar dimensions.
