Residential Lighting (Illumination) : Q. State illumination in lux for each of the following : Operation theatre, stair, living room, study room. Let us first of all know the suitable lamps/luminaries for residential purpose and illumination levels required for different parts of the residential area. (A) Light Sources for Room Lighting / Residential Lighting : … Read more
Lighting Schemes : For different purposes different lighting schemes are suggested. Types of Lighting Schemes : If the light falls on the polished surface the light is reflected back. This is good for illuminated but it produces glare on the eyes which is harmful. If light falls on the coarse surfaces like painted ceilings, frosted … Read more
LASERS : Construction and Working of LASER : Laser means “Light Amplification by Simulated Emission of Radiation”. Consider an atom when external energy (electromagnetic) is applied to it electron jumps from lower energy state to higher energy state. This electron emits electromagnetic radiation and light The colour of the light depends on frequency and wavelength. … Read more
LED light Working : (a) Electro luminescent lamps LED : Electroluminescence is the emission of light due to the interaction of an electric-field with a suitable solid. These solids may be panels, Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs), light emitting films. The panels employ microcrystalline powder phosphors based on the compounds like zine sulphide. whereas in case … Read more
Metal Halide Lamp : Metal Halide Lamps Working and Construction This lamp is known as mercury halide or metal halide lamp. It has a short arc tube. Inside it there are series of lamps combined within a single arc-tube with output characteristics of different mixtures of elements. When such metals (like thallium, indium, sodium, dysprosium) are introduced into … Read more
Compact Fluorescent Lamp (Tube) (CFL) : Q. Explain with diagram construction and working of CFL lamp. These are lamps of choice for those looking for an energy efficient alternative to incandescent lamps; they are paired for consuming and little as 1/5th of the power and lasting upto 13 times longer than incandescent lamps. Increasing variety … Read more
Halogen Lamps Halogen lamps are developed filament lamps and are free from drawbacks of filament lamps. Halogen lamp Principle : “Amount of radiations in visible spectrum increases as temperature of incandescent material increases upto 6000°C absolute”. Therefore, any material will be suitable and will have high radiating efficiency which has high melting point. Carbon and tungsten are better … Read more
Neon Sign Tubes Construction : In the form of tube even upto 9 metre length and can be bend in manufacturing process to any shape/shapes. It is a glass tubing consisting of two electrodes normally cylindrical in shape, of iron, steel or copper. It contains neon. Different colours are obtained by varying composition of glass and … Read more
Neon Lamp Principle : “Electrons are emitted from cathode by subjecting the surface of the cathode to very high electric stress so that electrons are forcibly ejected from orbits of atoms against nuclear centrifugal force” Construction and Working : It has two closely spaced electrodes sealed within a soft glass envelope containing neon, at pressure of 8 torr … Read more
Sodium Vapour Lamp : Principle : “Electrons are emitted from cathode by subjecting the surface of the cathode to very high electric stress so that electrons are forcibly ejected from orbits of atom against nuclear centrifugal force”. Construction and Working : It consists of inner tube of U shape fitted with neon gas and globules of sodium. For … Read more
