   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diffuser_(optics)

   In optics, a diffuser (also called a light diffuser or optical diffuser) is any material that diffuses or scatters light in some manner to transmit soft light.Diffused light can be easily obtained by reflecting light from a white surface, while more compact diffusers may use translucent material, including ground glass, teflon, opal glass, and greyed glass.

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluorescent_lamps_and_health

   Standard acrylic diffusers over the fluorescent lamps absorb nearly all the UV-B radiation and appear to protect against this. [26] One paper suggested that in rare cases, fluorescent lighting can also induce depersonalization and derealization; subsequently, it can worsen depersonalization disorder symptoms. [27]

4. Fluorescent lamp - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluorescent_lamp

   A fluorescent lamp, or fluorescent tube, is a low-pressure mercury-vapor gas-discharge lamp that uses fluorescence to produce visible light. An electric current in the gas excites mercury vapor, to produce ultraviolet and make a phosphor coating in the lamp glow.

5. Backlight - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backlight

   Typical sources of light for backlights include light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and cold cathode fluorescent lamps (CCFLs). Simple types of LCDs such as those used in pocket calculators are built without an internal light source, requiring external light sources to convey the display image to the user. Most LCD screens, however, are built with an ...

6. Standard illuminant - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_illuminant

   Illuminants A, B, and C were introduced in 1931, with the intention of respectively representing average incandescent light, direct sunlight, and average daylight. Illuminants D (1967) represent variations of daylight, illuminant E is the equal-energy illuminant, while illuminants F (2004) represent fluorescent lamps of various composition.

7. Fluorescent-lamp formats - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluorescent-lamp_formats

   Cross section of a typical fluorescent lamp with and without a reflector. Some lamps have an internal opaque reflector. Coverage of the reflector ranges from 120° to 310° of the lamp's circumference. Reflector lamps are used when light is only desired to be emitted in a single direction, or when an application requires the maximum amount of ...
