  2. Incandescent light bulb - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incandescent_light_bulb

    Incandescent bulbs are manufactured in a wide range of sizes, ... Luminous efficacy is measured ... (3,422 °C; 6,191 °F). Filament temperatures depend on the ...

  3. 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. Metal workers are able to ...

  4. Luminous efficacy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luminous_efficacy

    Luminous efficacy is a ... truncated to ≥ 2% photopic sensitivity range ... No substance is solid and usable as a light bulb filament at temperatures anywhere close ...

  5. Fluorescent lamp - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluorescent_lamp

    Fluorescent lamp efficacy is dependent on lamp temperature at the coldest part of the lamp. In T8 lamps this is in the center of the tube. In T5 lamps this is at the end of the tube with the text stamped on it. The ideal temperature for a T8 lamp is 25 °C (77 °F) while the T5 lamp is ideally at 35 °C (95 °F).

  8. 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).

  9. Infrared heater - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infrared_heater

    Medium-wave (MWIR) and carbon infrared heaters operate at filament temperatures of around 1,000 °C (1,830 °F). They reach maximum power densities of up to 60 kW/m 2 (5.6 kW/sq ft) (medium-wave) and 150 kW/m 2 (14 kW/sq ft) (carbon). Far infrared emitters (FIR) are typically used in the so-called low-temperature far infrared saunas. These ...
