  2. Color temperature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_temperature

    More-subtle filters are needed to correct for the difference between, say 3200 K and 3400 K tungsten lamps or to correct for the slightly blue cast of some flash tubes, which may be 6000 K. [21] If there is more than one light source with varied color temperatures, one way to balance the color is to use daylight film and place color-correcting ...

  3. Halogen lamp - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halogen_lamp

    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 small amount of a halogen, such as iodine or bromine.

  4. Tungsten - Wikipedia

    Tungsten electrode used in a gas tungsten arc welding torch Tungsten filament is used in incandescent lightbulbs, where it is heated until it glows Because of its conductive properties and relative chemical inertness, tungsten is also used in electrodes , and in the emitter tips in electron-beam instruments that use field emission guns , such ...

    Similar to fluorescent lights, HMIs present problems with color temperature when used for film or video lighting applications.Unlike incandescent-lighting units, which are blackbody radiators limited to a theoretical maximum of 3680 K (the melting point of tungsten), HMI lamps, like all gas discharge lighting, emit the emission spectral lines of its constituent elements, specifically chosen so ...

  6. Dental curing light - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dental_curing_light

    The light used falls under the visible blue light spectrum. This light is delivered over a range of wavelengths and varies for each type of device. There are four basic types of dental curing light sources: tungsten halogen, light-emitting diodes (LED), plasma arcs, and lasers. The two most common are halogen and LEDs.

  7. Phase-out of incandescent light bulbs - Wikipedia

    Alternative light sources use phosphors or combinations of mono-chromatic LEDs (red, blue, and green) to produce "white" light, giving significantly irregular spectral distributions that can create color casts in photography and differences of color matching when compared to incandescent light or daylight.
