2. Photoflood - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photoflood

   Photoflood lamps are a type of incandescent light bulb designed for use as a continuous light source for photographic lighting. [1] The filaments of such lamps are operated at much higher temperatures than is the case for standard, general lighting service lamps. The result is a brilliance of light much higher than the lamp's wattage rating ...

   Incandescent bulbs are manufactured in a wide range of sizes, light output, and voltage ratings, from 1.5 volts to about 300 volts. They require no external regulating equipment , have low manufacturing costs , and work equally well on either alternating current or direct current .

7. High-intensity discharge lamp - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-intensity_discharge_lamp

   High-intensity discharge lamps are a type of arc lamp. Brand new high-intensity discharge lamps make more visible light per unit of electric power consumed than fluorescent and incandescent lamps, since a greater proportion of their radiation is visible light in contrast to infrared. However, the lumen output of HID lighting can deteriorate by ...

   The production and importation of directional mains-voltage halogen bulbs was banned on 1 September 2016 and non-directional halogen bulbs followed on 1 September 2018. [6] Australia banned some halogen light bulbs above 10W from September 2021 in favour of eco-halogen bulbs, [ 7 ] later than the planned date of September 2020 [ 8 ] to keep the ...

9. Electrical ballast - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_ballast

   The high output frequency of an electronic ballast refreshes the phosphors in a fluorescent lamp so rapidly that there is no perceptible flicker. The flicker index, used for measuring perceptible light modulation, has a range from 0.00 to 1.00, with 0 indicating the lowest possibility of flickering and 1 indicating the highest.
