    Study Notes

    Lighting Fixtures and Lamps

    • Lighting fixtures are common devices used in households, industries, and commercial establishments, and their importance cannot be overstated.
    • Installation of lighting fixtures requires consideration of the right type for a specific application, as poor lighting or excessive distribution of light can affect performance and safety.

    Types of Lamps

    Incandescent Lamps

    • Function through incandescence, emitting light through filament heating.
    • Available in an extensive range of wattages, voltages, and sizes.
    • Designed with glass, including a tungsten filament that heats up when supplied with current, generating light.
    • Pros: low cost, instant ignition when turned on.
    • Cons: low efficiency, short lifespan (around 1000 hours).

    Fluorescent Lamps

    • Gas-discharge lamps that generate visible light using fluorescence.
    • Electric current excites mercury vapor, producing short-wave UV light, which causes a phosphor coating to blink.
    • Pros: good light output, diffused light, variety of light shades, reasonable price.
    • Cons: mercury vapor content, special disposal rules, lamp may flicker.

    Tungsten Halogen Lamps

    • Type of incandescent lamp with a tungsten filament enclosed in a solid transparent cover.
    • Cover contains a halogen and an inert gas, generating a chemical reaction that redeposits dissolved tungsten over the filament.
    • Pros: minimum possible flicker, compactness, color rendering.
    • Cons: strong heat, low service life compared to other light sources (except incandescent lamps).

    High-Density Discharge Lamps

    • Contain metallic mixture and gas, burning brighter but consuming more energy.
    • Applications include infrastructure and industry, with a distinct orange color.
    • Examples: street lights, arc lamps, mercury halide lamps.
    • Pros: high efficiency, economical, good color stability.
    • Cons: necessity of control gear, long exit to operating mode, flickering and buzzing during operation, special disposal rules.

    LED Lamps

    • Use electric diodes to produce light, making them lightweight and extremely efficient.
    • Color of the glow depends on the materials used.
    • Pros: longest lifespan of all lamps (from 10,000 to 100,000 hours).
    • They are becoming increasingly popular due to their low lifetime cost.
