2. Halogen lamp - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halogen_lamp

   Halogen lamp (105 W) for replacement purposes with an E27 screw base A close-up of a halogen lamp capsule A halogen lamp (also called tungsten halogen , quartz-halogen , and quartz iodine lamp) is an incandescent lamp consisting of a tungsten filament sealed in a compact transparent envelope that is filled with a mixture of an inert gas and a ...

3. Plastic optical fiber - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plastic_optical_fiber

   Plastic optical fiber (POF) or polymer optical fiber is an optical fiber that is made out of polymer. Similar to glass optical fiber, POF transmits light (for illumination or data) through the core of the fiber. Its chief advantage over the glass product, other aspect being equal, is its robustness under bending and stretching.

6. Light tube - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light_tube

   [19] [20] The optic fibers in this system are made of PMMA (PolyMethyl MethAcrylate) and sheathed with Megolon, a halogen-free thermoplastic resin. A system such as this, however, is quite expensive. [21] The Parans system [22] consists of three parts. A collector, fiber optic cables, and luminaires spreading the light indoors. One or more ...

7. Opto-isolator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opto-isolator

   Schematic diagram of an opto-isolator showing source of light (LED) on the left, dielectric barrier in the center, and sensor (phototransistor) on the right [note 1]. An opto-isolator (also called an optocoupler, photocoupler, or optical isolator) is an electronic component that transfers electrical signals between two isolated circuits by using light. [1]

8. Optical ground wire - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_ground_wire

   An optical ground wire (also known as an OPGW or, in the IEEE standard, an optical fiber composite overhead ground wire) is a type of cable that is used in overhead power lines. Such cable combines the functions of grounding and communications .

9. Fluorescent lamp - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluorescent_lamp

   In this lamp, the filament is surrounded by an oblong metal cathode shield, which helps reduce lamp end darkening. [2] A fluorescent lamp, or fluorescent tube, is a low-pressure mercury-vapor gas-discharge lamp that uses fluorescence to produce visible light.
