  2. Thermal management of high-power LEDs - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_management_of_high...

    Most of the electricity in an LED becomes heat rather than light – about 70% heat and 30% light. [1] If this heat is not removed, the LEDs run at high temperatures, which not only lowers their efficiency, but also makes the LED less reliable, shortens its lifespan. Thus, thermal management of high power LEDs is a crucial area of the research ...

  3. Color temperature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_temperature

    An incandescent lamp's light is thermal radiation, and the bulb approximates an ideal black-body radiator, so its color temperature is essentially the temperature of the filament. Thus a relatively low temperature emits a dull red and a high temperature emits the almost white of the traditional incandescent light bulb.

  4. Infrared lamp - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infrared_lamp

    Round bulbs, often tinted red to reduce visible light, provide infrared radiant heat suitable for warming of people or animals, but the power density available is low. The development of quartz halogen linear lamps allowed much higher power density up to 200 watts/inch of lamp (8 w/mm), useful for industrial heating, drying and processing ...

  5. Halogen lamp - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halogen_lamp

    Contaminants, because they absorb more light and heat than the glass does, will create a hot spot on the bulb surface when the lamp is turned on. This extreme, localized heat causes the quartz to change from its vitreous form into a weaker, crystalline form that leaks gas. This weakening may also cause the bulb to form a bubble, weakening it ...

  6. Incandescent light bulb - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incandescent_light_bulb

    An incandescent light bulb, incandescent lamp or incandescent light globe is an electric light with a filament that is heated until it glows. The filament is enclosed in a glass bulb that is either evacuated or filled with inert gas to protect the filament from oxidation. Electric current is supplied to the filament by terminals or wires ...

  7. Crookes radiometer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crookes_radiometer

    If light pressure were the cause of the rotation, then the better the vacuum in the bulb, the less air resistance to movement, and the faster the vanes should spin. In 1901, with a better vacuum pump, Pyotr Lebedev showed that in fact, the radiometer only works when there is low-pressure gas in the bulb, and the vanes stay motionless in a hard ...

  8. Pat Riley says the Miami Heat will not trade Jimmy Butler - AOL

    Butler has not asked the Heat for a trade, but ESPN, citing sources it did not name, reported Wednesday that the six-time All-Star wants a trade by the league’s Feb. 6 deadline and is open to ...

  9. Lava lamp - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lava_lamp

    The vessel is placed on a base containing an incandescent light bulb whose heat causes temporary reductions in the wax's density and the liquid's surface tension. As the warmed wax rises through the liquid, it cools, loses its buoyancy, and falls back to the bottom of the vessel in a cycle that is visually suggestive of pāhoehoe lava , hence ...
