a lamp in which electric current arcs across two electrodes, providing an intense light source for illuminating both transparent copy (negatives, colour transparencies) and reflective copy (flat original art), and for burning-in plates
A lamp which burns with a characteristic spectrum which is used as a reference or comparison for the wavelength scale of a spectrum.
Light is generated through electricity which is conducted through gas between electrodes.
a lamp that produces light when electric current flows across the gap between two electrodes
a device that produces light by the sparking (or arcing, from voltaic arc
A light source containing an arc (see above). Also called a discharge lamp, or an arc discharge lamp.
A discharge lamp in which the light is emitted by an arc discharge or by its electrodes. Note: The electrodes can be either of carbon (operating in air) or of metal (operating in a pressurized gas).
A lamp whose light source consists of an open carbon arc or a closed xenon arc. The light is generated in a gas ball between two electrodes.
photographic lamp in which light is produced by passing an electric current through two carbon rods.
see gas discharge lamp) - a gas discharge lamp in which light is produced by the passage of electricity, through a gas, across two electrodes enclosed in a quartz envelope; high-pressure arc lights (such as mercury vapor lamps, high-pressure sodium arc lamps, and metal-halide arc lamps) produce light in a physically small bulb of high-pressure gases; low-pressure arc lights (such as fluorescent lights, germicidal ultraviolet lamps, and neon sign lamps) employ a physically big tube of low-pressure gas plasma.
Often used as a light source on a microscope, an electric light in which a current traverses a gas between two incandescent electrodes and generates an arc that produces light. Arc lamps have a limited lifetime. Also called an arc light.
Light which uses an electric arc as the light source, it is also called an arc light.
A light source containing an arc. It is also called as discharge lamp, or an arc discharge lamp.
An arc lamp is the general term for a class of lamps that produce light by an electric arc (or voltaic arc). The lamp consists of two electrodes typically made of tungsten which are separated by a gas. The type of lamp is often named by the gas contained in the bulb; including neon, argon, xenon, krypton, sodium, metal halide, and mercury.
