Lamps for lamps

Lamps for luminaires on the market of lighting equipment in a wide range. Even the most demanding customer will be able to find his option.

There are several types of light bulbs that differ in their characteristics, appearance and purpose:

A specular lamp is a type of energy-saving light source. The area of ​​the flask is covered with reflective components that contribute to the formation of the mirror upper layer.This layer serves as a reflector of light from the filament and does not allow it to break out. Light is able to pass only through the transparent glass areas.

Such bulbs can be installed even in directional light fixtures. As a rule, such lamps are used to illuminate shop windows, signboards and other objects that need to be emphasized.

There is a second type of mirror lamps in which the flask is covered with a light-reflecting substance on top. This view does not allow direct rays through the thread in the direction of objects that are illuminated.

The functionality of a halogen bulb is no different from a simple incandescent lamp. The only difference is that in the first case, the flask contains a mixture of gases from halogen components. They help to slow down the destructive processes in the filament during the use of the product.

Such sources have a stronger light, along with low power consumption. Buyers are attracted by the miniature size of the lamps, as well as long service life. The release of a halogen light source is carried out in a pair with different sizes of caps.On sale there are models with E14 and E27.

Among the shortcomings can be noted the high temperature of the products. A person who has an idea about incandescent lamps knows who the efficiency of these light sources, as well as that of halogen lamps, has a low value. About 80% of the energy is spent on the heating process and only 20% is left on the light.

There are two kinds of light sources. There is a gas lamp - fluorescent, which is called energy-saving. There is also a second type - LED, which is called LED-lamps. In both types there is a standard base. Devices are used in household fixtures.

Fluorescent lamps can save electricity costs, despite the large size. Negative features include a short lifetime, along with high cost. Given these figures, savings can be questioned. LED bulbs also belong to the category of energy-saving, but they fully justify their rank, despite the high price tag.

A high or low pressure sodium lamp falls into the category of an effective light source, which is often used for street and architectural lighting. Indicators of light efficiency reach 160 lm / W. The power level is 1000 watts. The period of operation is 25,000 hours.

This type of lamp should be used where more attention is paid to economic indicators than to accurate reproduction of light. Yellow lighting is acceptable for parks, shopping kits, roads and decorative architecture.

Induction light bulbs are categorized as advanced fluorescent light sources. It does not have such an element as an incandescent electrode, which is necessary for traditional lamps for ignition. The glow is formed due to electromagnetic induction, the discharge of an electrical nature in the gas, as well as the luminescence of the phosphors in contact with the gas.

Due to the fact that in this type of lamps there are no electrodes, they demonstrate a high service life, which is up to 12 years of continuous operation.

All types of lamps have a common part, which is called a cap. This component of the construction serves to connect with the lighting wires. This factor is related to those models in which there is a threaded base. The sizes of the boss and a socle are exposed to strict classification.

For domestic purposes, bulbs are used, the diameter of the cap of which can be of three types: small, medium and large. According to the specifications, they have the name: E14, E27, E40.
