Types of Incandescent Lamps

Tungsten halogen bulbs have gases from the halogen family sealed inside that reflect heat back to the filament, allowing for similar light output to incandescent bulbs but with less power usage. Tubular tungsten-halogen bulbs are commonly used in floor lamps and provide better energy efficiency than standard A-type bulbs, but still use significant energy and operate at very high temperatures of 2600°C. Reflector lamps have silver coatings on the sides to reflect light forward for uses like spotlights and floodlights.

TYPES OF INCANDESCENT LAMP

TUNGSTEN HALOGEN BULBS


Tungsten halogen bulb is an incandescent lamp
wit gases from the halogen family sealed
inside the bulb and an inner coating that
reflects hear back to the filament. It has
similar light output to a regular incandescent
bulb, but with less power. Halogen in the gas
filling reduce the material losses of the
filament caused by evaporation and increase
the performance of the lamp.
TUNGSTEN HALOGEN LAMP
TUBULAR TUNGSTEN-HALOGEN LAMP
 Tubulartungsten-halogen bulbs are commonly used in “
torchiere” floor lamps, which reflect light off the ceiling,
providing more diffused and suitable general lighthing.
 Although these provide better energy than the standard A-
type bulb, these lamp consume significant amount of
energy and become very hot tubular tungsten halogen
bulb reaches temperature of about 2600ºC compared to
about 600º C for a compact fluorescent bulb. Because tungsten-
halogen lamps operate at very high temperature( high enough to
literally fry eggs) they should not be used in fixtures that ave
paper or cellulose-line sockets.

Reflector Lamps
Reflector Lamps-light waves from a bulb spread in all
directions. The light that goes toward the back is not
useful when the ligt is most needed in the front.
Reflector lamp are designed to spread light over
specific areas. Reflector lamps have silver coating on
the sides, like any mirror. And therefore all the light
waves passing through the sides or the back are
reflected to the front.therefore, they are called
reflector lamps and are also called floodlighting,
spotlighting and down lighting bulbs.
