    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomson's_lamp

    The thought experiment concerns a lamp that is toggled on and off with increasing frequency. Thomson's lamp is a philosophical puzzle based on infinites. It was devised in 1954 by British philosopher James F. Thomson, who used it to analyze the possibility of a supertask, which is the completion of an infinite number of tasks.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incandescent_light_bulb

    A 50-hour-life projection bulb, for instance, is designed to operate only 50 °C (122 °F) below that melting point. Such a lamp may achieve up to 22 lumens per watt, compared with 17.5 for a 750-hour general service lamp. [76] Lamps of the same power rating but designed for different voltages have different luminous efficacy.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Splint_(laboratory_equipment)

    Several laboratory experiments are capable of producing relatively pure gas as an end product, and it may be useful to demonstrate the chemical identity of that gas. Burning splints or glowing splints can be used to identify whether a gas is flammable , whether it is oxidising , or whether it is chemically inert .

    The Germans, however, dissented and decided to use a definition equal to 9/10 of the output of a Hefner lamp. In 1921, the Commission Internationale de l'Eclairage (International Commission for Illumination, commonly referred to as the CIE) redefined the international candle again in terms of a carbon filament incandescent lamp .
