    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluorescent-lamp_formats

    These lamps are used for fluorescence effects where less visible light is ideal. 09 N/A Sun-tanning lamps: These lamps produce wide or narrow band UV-B radiation 10 BL Black-Light lamps: Black light lamps give off long-wave UV-A radiation of around 350-400 nm. They are often used to attract insects to traps.

  4. Standard illuminant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_illuminant

    Illuminants A, B, and C were introduced in 1931, with the intention of respectively representing average incandescent light, direct sunlight, and average daylight. Illuminants D (1967) represent variations of daylight, illuminant E is the equal-energy illuminant, while illuminants F (2004) represent fluorescent lamps of various composition.

  5. Tanning lamp - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tanning_lamp

    The goal with high-pressure tanning bulbs is to produce a high amount of UVA only. Unfiltered light from a high-pressure lamp is rich in UVC used in germicidal lamps, for water purification, but it damages human skin. The contents of a high-pressure lamp are inert gas (such as argon) and mercury. [2]

  6. Luminance - Wikipedia

    A tea light-type candle, imaged with a luminance camera; false colors indicate luminance levels per the bar on the right (cd/m 2). Luminance is a photometric measure of the luminous intensity per unit area of light travelling in a given direction. [1]

  7. Luminous flux - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luminous_flux

    The luminous intensity (in candelas) is a measure of how bright the beam in a particular direction is. If a lamp has a 1 lumen bulb and the optics of the lamp are set up to focus the light evenly into a 1 steradian beam, then the beam would have a luminous intensity of 1 candela. If the optics were changed to concentrate the beam into 1/2 ...

    The Solar Bottle Bulb, as it has also been called, [7] is installed in the roof of homes with the purpose of refracting sunlight in order to light up a room. The project's innovation lies in its utilization of cheap, durable and readily available materials to produce high quality natural lighting enabling the urban poor to have access to an ...

    Diagram of a high-pressure sodium lamp A high-pressure sodium lamp, Philips Master SDW-T 100W. Various types of chemistry are used in the arc tubes of HID lamps, depending on the desired characteristics of light intensity, correlated color temperature, color rendering index (CRI), energy efficiency, and lifespan. Varieties of HID lamp include:
