Similiar to a flourescent light. The ignitor provides a high voltage potential to excite the sodium gas within the bulb.

How does an ice cube relay work?
The relay is used to "interlock" a circuit. It consists of a coil and a number of auxiliary "normally open" or "normally closed" contacts. A limiting condition is wired through the coil contacts and resulting conditions are wired through the auxiliary contacts. When the limiting condition is met, the coil will pull in and change the state of the auxiliary contacts. For example, if you want a lamp (lamp 1) to turn off when a second lamp (lamp 2) is turned on, lamp 1 would be wired through a "normally closed" set of contacts and lamp 2 would be wired through the coil contacts. When lamp 2 is turned on, the coil will pull in and open the "normally closed" contact for lamp 1, turning it off.
What is an electric lamp?
The term "electric lamp" is a general one. It refers to a slice of technology that produces light from electricity, and how it does this can vary. The two basic types of lamp are the incandescent type and the fluorescent type. There are other types, like a light emitting diode type, which is solid state kind, and a carbon arc lamp, but we usually use the term for the two common types mentioned. Sometimes we use the term to include the whole fixture. A table lamp might be referred to as an electric lamp in some cases. But as regards the "regular" usage, the lamp will work in one of two ways. In one, a resistive element which will heated by the electric current to the point of incandescence, where it will emit light. The filament gets really hot and glows, and you already know that this describes the incandescent lamp. In the fluorescent lamp, a gas-filled tube it electrified and the gas is ionized with the subsequent emission of light. This is the fluorescent lamp, and many of them are set up with secondary emission characteristics to increase and/or change the spectrum of light emitted. Use the link below to go to the Wikipedia post on the electric lamp. You'll be well informed if you surf on over and skim it.
Why rectifier is not used in dynamo?
rectifier is not used because of damaged of problemAnswer.Because there's no need for that since the lamp on your bicycle can still work on the induced AC power.
Can you have 2 motion sensors on one electrical circuit For example a lamp post and wall lantern are controlled by one light switch will a motion sensor work?
Each fixture will have to have it's own motion sensor, then yes it will work.
If you put a 60W 120V bulb in a 120V lamp that has a transformer for 240V and plug it into a 240V outlet will it work or blow the circuitry?
Off hand no but your explanations are not clear as to who is doing what to whom,,
What is the work of capacitor in sodium vapour lamp?
A sodium vapour lamp does not include a capacitor in its construction. Any capacitor associated with this type of fixture will be found where the ballast is located and not in the lamp itself.
What is function of ignitor in metal halide lamp?
ignitor will work as a tublight stater
Will mercury vapour work in a sodium vapour fixture?
no
What is ignitor in electrical circuit?
ignitor through high pulse to the object to work
How does a getter work in a high pressure sodium lamp?
I believe it's there to remove impurities from within the outer glass envelope that would otherwise attack the arctube
How does vapour compression work?
See my answer to~How does air conditiong work~ on this site.
If the ballast on a fluorescent light blows will the lamp still work?
If the ballast on a fluorescent light blows the lamp will not work.
Can you use a 70 watt high pressure sodium bulb in a 100 watt ballast?
No. The bulb has to match the ballast wattage exactly. And you can't interchange different lamps (like metal halide) either. The ballast is specific to that wattage and lamp type. The bulb will either burn out quickly or just not work properly at all
How can you tell if the halophane light you have is a metal halide or high pressure sodium?
If you have one or more of each type working, it is easy to tell the difference, a metal halide lamp produces a wide spectrum very white light, the high pressure sodium is a narrow spectrum light that is very yellow. If you just have the light fixture, and need to know what kind of lamp it is made for, the lamp type is often mentioned on the ballast nameplate or a small sticker near the lamp socket. If that does not work, a metal halide ballast will usually be two pieces, a transformer with a heavy laminated metal core, and a capacitor in a silver can. The sodium lamp ballast will have these also, but in addition it will have a lamp striker in a second silver can, or a plastic module. In other words Metal Halide ballast: 2 pieces, HPSodium ballast: 3 components.
Will a 1990 Chev igniter work on a ezgo 2 cycle golf cart?
This set up will not work due to the lack of the electrical ignitor to handle the engines RPM's
What does not belong cloud or ust or water or sunlight?
Lamp, because you need electricity for the lamp to work
You have a 1992 caprice and you can't get your hazard lights to work but your turn signals work fine Please help?
If your hazard lights don't work but your turn signals do work it could be that your Hazard Lamp Flasher needs to be replaced. Your car has both a "hazard lamp flasher" and a "turn signal lamp flasher". Your "turn signal lamp flasher" is working but your "Hazard Lamp Flasher" may not be working. Buy a new "hazard lamp flasher" and install it. The hazard lamp flasher is located behind the instrument panel to the left of the steering column.
