The element used is called neon.The element used is called neon.
This chemical element is silicon.
Indium can be used in sodium lamps to improve characteristics.
Carbonarc lamps use carbon rods as electrodes, which produce an electric arc that generates light.
Although less energy efficient than other types of bulbs, incadescent lightbulbs would be effective used in hanging lamps. Varying from 15 to 150 watts, these emit a soft-yellow-white light (or newer versions are available with a more neutral white colour) and are inexpensive and ideal for ambient lighting.
Strobe lamps commonly use xenon gas, which emits bright flashes of light when an electrical current passes through it. This gas is housed in a glass tube that is designed to create intense and short bursts of light, making it ideal for strobe lighting applications.
Neon can be used to light neon signs and to light glow lamps. :)
Incandescent light bulbs use a tungsten filament as the element that emits light when heated by an electric current.
The filament is usually made from wolfram (W) and the filling gas is argon.
it is used in neon discharge lamps and neon signs.
