  2. Gas-discharge lamp - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas-discharge_lamp

    A flicker light bulb, flicker flame light bulb or flicker glow lamp is a gas-discharge lamp which produces light by ionizing a gas, usually neon mixed with helium and a small amount of nitrogen gas, by an electric current passing through two flame shaped electrode screens coated with partially decomposed barium azide. The ionized gas moves ...

  3. Deuterium arc lamp - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deuterium_arc_lamp

    A deuterium arc lamp (or simply deuterium lamp) is a low-pressure gas-discharge light source often used in spectroscopy when a continuous spectrum in the ultraviolet region is needed. Plasma "arc" or discharge lamps using hydrogen are notable for their high output in the ultraviolet, with comparatively little output in the visible and infrared.

  4. Flameless candle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flameless_candle

    Flameless candles display flickering light, simulating real flames. As a decorative element, the design of a flameless candle is relatively versatile. The body or "housing" of the device is commonly cylindrical, containing a battery pack and an often flame-shaped LED lamp atop the candle. Many manufactures use LED lights with a sporadic ...

  5. List of light sources - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_light_sources

    This is a list of sources of light, the visible part of the electromagnetic spectrum.Light sources produce photons from another energy source, such as heat, chemical reactions, or conversion of mass or a different frequency of electromagnetic energy, and include light bulbs and stars like the Sun. Reflectors (such as the moon, cat's eyes, and mirrors) do not actually produce the light that ...

  6. Plasma lamp - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plasma_lamp

    Many modern plasma lamps have very small light sources—far smaller than HID bulbs or fluorescent tubes—leading to much higher luminaire efficiencies also. High-intensity discharge lamps have typical luminaire efficiencies of 55%, and fluorescent lamps of 70%. Plasma lamps typically have luminaire efficiencies exceeding 90%.

  7. Sulfur lamp - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sulfur_lamp

    Sulfur lamp inside a Faraday cage, which is necessary to prevent microwave radiation leakage from the magnetron which would cause radio interference. The sulfur lamp (also sulphur lamp) is a highly efficient full-spectrum electrodeless lighting system whose light is generated by sulfur plasma that has been excited by microwave radiation.
