    Fluorescent bulbs are most often used in commercial spaces and ceiling or built-in lighting. LED bulbs are now the most common type sold in stores. Like any bulb, LEDs come in a variety of light ...

  3. Fluorescent lamp - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluorescent_lamp

    Fluorescent light fixtures cannot be connected to dimmer switches intended for incandescent lamps. Two effects are responsible for this: the waveform of the voltage emitted by a standard phase-control dimmer interacts badly with many ballasts, and it becomes difficult to sustain an arc in the fluorescent tube at low power levels.

  4. Electrical ballast - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_ballast

    Electronic ballast of a compact fluorescent lamp. Electronic ballasts usually supply power to the lamp at a frequency of 20,000 Hz or higher, rather than the mains frequency of 50 – 60 Hz; this substantially eliminates the stroboscopic effect of flicker, a product of the line frequency associated with fluorescent lighting (see photosensitive ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluorescent_lamps_and_health

    New lighting systems have not used magnetic ballasts since the turn of the century, however some older installations still remain. Fluorescent lamps with magnetic ballasts flicker at a normally unnoticeable frequency of 100 or 120 Hz (twice of the utility frequency; the lamp is lit on both the positive and negative half-wave of a cycle).

  6. Negative resistance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negative_resistance

    Negative resistance was first recognized during investigations of electric arcs, which were used for lighting during the 19th century. [143] In 1881 Alfred Niaudet [ 144 ] had observed that the voltage across arc electrodes decreased temporarily as the arc current increased, but many researchers thought this was a secondary effect due to ...

  7. 0-10 V lighting control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/0-10_V_lighting_control

    Dimming fluorescent ballasts and dimming LED drivers often use 0–10 V control signals to control dimming functions. In many cases, the dimming range of the power supply or ballast is limited. If the light output can only be dimmed from 100% down to 10%, there must be a switch or relay available to kill power to the system and turn the light ...

  8. Cold cathode - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cold_cathode

    Cold-cathode lamps include cold-cathode fluorescent lamps (CCFLs) and neon lamps.Neon lamps primarily rely on excitation of gas molecules to emit light; CCFLs use a discharge in mercury vapor to develop ultraviolet light, which in turn causes a fluorescent coating on the inside of the lamp to emit visible light.
