2. 3-way lamp - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3-way_lamp

   Lamp bulbs with dual carbon filaments were built as early as 1902 to allow adjustable lighting levels. [1] Certain compact fluorescent lamp bulbs are designed to replace 3-way incandescent bulbs, [2] and have an extra contact and circuitry to dim to a similar light level. In recent years, LED 3-way bulbs have become available as well. [3]

3. Halogen lamp - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halogen_lamp

   A 300 watt tubular halogen bulb operated at full power quickly reaches a temperature of about 540 °C (1,004 °F), while a 500 watt regular incandescent bulb operates at only 180 °C (356 °F) and a 75 watt regular incandescent at only 130 °C (266 °F). [13]

4. Metal-halide lamp - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metal-halide_lamp

   Like other gas-discharge lamps such as the very-similar mercury-vapor lamps, metal-halide lamps produce light by ionizing a mixture of gases in an electric arc.In a metal-halide lamp, the compact arc tube contains a mixture of argon or xenon, mercury, and a variety of metal halides, such as sodium iodide and scandium iodide. [7]

5. Incandescent light bulb - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incandescent_light_bulb

   Light bulbs using coiled coil filaments are sometimes referred to as 'double-coil bulbs'. For a 60-watt 120-volt lamp, the uncoiled length of the tungsten filament is usually 580 millimetres (22.8 in), [78] and the filament diameter is 0.046 millimetres (0.0018 in). The advantage of the coiled coil is that evaporation of the tungsten filament ...

6. Light-emitting diode - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light-emitting_diode

   Efficiency: LEDs emit more lumens per watt than incandescent light bulbs. [65] The efficiency of LED lighting fixtures is not affected by shape and size, unlike fluorescent light bulbs or tubes. Size: LEDs can be very small (smaller than 2 mm 2 [66]) and are easily attached to printed circuit boards.

7. Compact fluorescent lamp - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compact_fluorescent_lamp

   Most CFLs contain 3–5 mg per bulb, with the bulbs labeled "eco-friendly" containing as little as 1 mg. [81] [82] Because mercury is poisonous, even these small amounts are a concern for landfills and waste incinerators where the mercury from lamps may be released and contribute to air and water pollution.
