  2. Deuterium arc lamp - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deuterium_arc_lamp

    A deuterium lamp uses a tungsten filament and anode placed on opposite sides of a nickel box structure designed to produce the best output spectrum. Unlike an incandescent bulb, the filament is not the source of light in deuterium lamps. Instead an arc is created from the filament to the anode, a similar process to arc lamps. Because the ...

    • Fake email addresses - Malicious actors sometimes send from email addresses made to look like an official email address but in fact is missing a letter(s), misspelled, replaces a letter with a lookalike number (e.g. “O” and “0”), or originates from free email services that would not be used for official communications.

  4. Tanning lamp - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tanning_lamp

    Most people could be led to believe that a 6.5% lamp is stronger than a 5% lamp, while both lamps might have the same total UV output (or the 5% could even be stronger across the spectrum). As such, UVA vs UVB rating on lamps only tells you the relative amount of UV, making a 5% lamp really a lamp whose UV spectrum is 5% UVB and 95% UVA. [5]

  5. UV-B lamps - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UV-B_lamps

    UV-B lamps are lamps that emit a spectrum of ultraviolet light with wavelengths ranging from 290–320 nanometers. This spectrum is also commonly called the biological spectrum due to the human body's sensitivity to light of such a wavelength. [1] UV-B light does not tan the skin very much, compared to the UV-A lamps that are used in tanning beds.

  6. LED filament - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LED_filament

    A 230-volt LED filament light bulb, with a B22 base. The filaments are visible as the four yellow vertical lines. A LED filament light bulb is a LED lamp which is designed to resemble a traditional incandescent light bulb with visible filaments for aesthetic and light distribution purposes, but with the high efficiency of light-emitting diodes (LEDs).

  7. Edison light bulb - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edison_light_bulb

    In the 1960s, US inventor Robert (Bob) Kyp patented a similar in appearance but flickering "electric flame" light bulb under the name Balafire [6] as well as radiometers. His flicker bulb was used in a 7-Up commercial, [7] and the company he ran since 1964, Kyp-Go, is currently the only US manufacturer of carbon-filament bulbs. [8]

  8. Phishing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phishing

    Unlike traditional phishing, which relies on deceptive emails or websites, quishing uses QR codes to bypass email filters [34] [35] and increase the likelihood that victims will fall for the scam, as people tend to trust QR codes and may not scrutinize them as carefully as a URL or email link. The bogus codes may be sent by email, social media ...

  9. Mercury-vapor lamp - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercury-vapor_lamp

    Some bulbs include a thermal switch which shorts the starting electrode to the adjacent main electrode, extinguishing the starting arc once the main arc strikes. The mercury-vapor lamp is a negative resistance device. This means its resistance decreases as the current through the tube increases. So if the lamp is connected directly to a ...
