(lamp)

(engineering) A device that produces light, such as an electric lamp.


 
 

A generic term for a device designed to produce electromagnetic radiation in the form of light, heat, ultraviolet energy, or a combination of the three. The term lamp is applied to the entire range of sources, including flame sources (such as kerosine lamps or gas lamps with Welsbach mantles), incandescent sources, and electric arc discharge sources. Used with a modifier, such as ultraviolet, infrared, or sun, the term lamp is used to indicate sources that radiate energy in the ultraviolet or infrared portions of the electromagnetic spectrum (plus some radiation in the visible part of the spectrum).

Electric lamps are the most common and useful types of light-producing sources. These devices convert electrical energy into light (radiant energy in the visible portion of the spectrum). The most widely used lamps for lighting buildings and areas, such as parking lots, stadia, and streets, are incandescent lamps, fluorescent lamps, and high-intensity arc discharge lamps (HID lamps). See also Arc lamp; Fluorescent lamp; Incandescent lamp; Infrared lamp; Sun; Ultraviolet lamp; Vapor lamp.
