2. Metal-halide lamp - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metal-halide_lamp

   A metal-halide lamp is an electrical lamp that produces light by an electric arc through a gaseous mixture of vaporized mercury and metal halides [ 1][ 2] (compounds of metals with bromine or iodine ). It is a type of high-intensity discharge (HID) gas discharge lamp. [ 1] Developed in the 1960s, they are similar to mercury vapor lamps, [ 1 ...

3. Ceramic metal-halide lamp - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ceramic_metal-halide_lamp

   The ceramic metal halide is a variation of the metal-halide lamp which is itself a variation of the old (high-pressure) mercury-vapor lamp. A CMH uses a ceramic arc tube instead of the fused quartz arc tube of a traditional metal halide lamp. Ceramic arc tubes allow higher arc tube temperatures, which some manufacturers claim results in better ...

   A closeup of a 175- W mercury vapor lamp. The small diagonal cylinder at the bottom of the arc tube is a resistor which supplies current to the starter electrode. A mercury-vapor lamp is a gas-discharge lamp that uses an electric arc through vaporized mercury to produce light. [ 1] The arc discharge is generally confined to a small fused quartz ...

5. High-intensity discharge lamp - Wikipedia

   However, mercury-vapor lamps are falling out of favor and being replaced by sodium-vapor and metal-halide lamps. Metal-halide and ceramic metal-halide lamps can be made to give off neutral white light useful for applications where normal color appearance is critical, such as TV and movie production, indoor or nighttime sports games, automotive ...

   Gas lamps gradually started replacing oil street lamps in the United States, beginning in the first quarter of the 19th century. [ 3] The first street in the world to be illuminated by gaslight was Pall Mall in London, starting in 1807. [ 1][ 5] The first US city to use gas street lights was Baltimore, starting in 1817. [ 4]

7. Parabolic aluminized reflector - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parabolic_aluminized_reflector

   A parabolic aluminized reflector lamp ( PAR lamp or simply PAR) is a type of electric lamp that is widely used in commercial, residential, and transportation illumination. It produces a highly directional beam. Usage includes theatrical lighting, locomotive headlamps, aircraft landing lights, and residential and commercial recessed lights ...
