INFORMATION SHEET 1.1
LIGHTING FIXTURE AND ACCESSORIES
History and Development of the Incandescent Lamp
The Incandescent Light Bulb
The first incandescent electric light was made in 1800 by Humphry
Davy, an English scientist. He experimented with electricity and invented an
electric battery. When he connected wires to his battery and a piece of
carbon, the carbon glowed, producing light. This is called an electric arc.
Much later, in 1860, English physicist, Sir Joseph Wilson Swan (1828-1914) was determined to devise a practical, long-lasting electric light. He found that a carbon paper filament worked well, but burned up quickly. In 1878, he demonstrated his new electric lamps in Newcastle, England.
Thomas Alva Edison, an American inventor experimented with thousands of different filaments to find just the right materials to glow well and be long-lasting. In 1879, Edison discovered that a carbon filament in an oxygen-free bulb glowed but did not burn up for 40 hours. Edison eventually produced a bulb that could glow for over 1500 hours.
Lewis Howard Latimer (1848-1928) improved the light bulb by inventing a carbon filament which was patented in 1881. Latimer was a member of Edison's research team, which was called "Edison's Pioneers." In 1882, Latimer developed and patented a method of manufacturing his carbon filaments.
In 1903, Willis R. Whitney invented a treatment for the filament so that it would not darken the inside of the bulb as it glowed. In 1910, William David Coolidge (1873-1975) invented a tungsten filament, which
-

lasted even longer than the older filaments. The incandescent bulb revolutionized the world.
Parts of an Incandescent Bulb
Coiled tungsten filament - the metal wires that glow brightly when
electricity flows through them.
Connecting wires - The wires that carry electricity from the bulb's
electrical contact to the filament.
Electrical contacts - the metallic base of the bulb, which connects to
the electrical contacts of the lamp when the bulb is in the lamp.
Glass envelope - the thin layer of glass that surrounds the light bulb
mechanism and the inert gases.
Glass fuse enclosure the glass that insulates the bulb's fuses -
located in the stem of the bulb.
Mixture of inert gases at low pressures - the bulb that is filled with
inert (non-reactive) gases.
Screw cap - the threaded base of the bulb that secures it to a lamp.
Support wires - wires that physically hold up the filament.

Thomas Alva Edison
Edisons first successful lamp
It is certainly true that Edison did invent the
light bulb (or at least "a" light bulb), but he was not
the first. In 1860, an English physicist and
electrician, Sir Joseph Wilson Swan, produced his
first experimental light bulb using carbonized paper
as a filament. Unfortunately, Swan did not have a
strong enough vacuum or sufficiently powerful
batteries and his prototype did not achieve complete
incandescence, so he turned his attention to other
pursuits.
So it is reasonable to wonder why Edison received all the credit,
while Swan was condemned to obscurity. The more cynical among us may
suggest that Edison was thrust into the limelight because many among us
learn their history through films, and the vast majority of early films were
made in America by patriotic Americans.
However, none of this should detract from Edison who, working
independently, experimented with thousands of filament materials and
expended tremendous amounts of effort before discovering carbonized
thread. It is also probably fair to say that Edison did produce the first
commercially viable light bulb.
The reason why this is of interest to us here is that Edison's
experiments with light bulbs led him to discover the Edison Effect, which
ultimately led to the invention of the vacuum tube.
Edison's light bulbs employed a conducting filament mounted in a
glass bulb from which the air was evacuated leaving a vacuum. Passing
electricity through the filament caused it to heat up enough to become
incandescent and radiate light, while the vacuum prevented the filament
from oxidizing and burning up.
Operation of incandescent lamp
What makes a light bulb glow? The thin wire, or filament, inside a light bulb resists the flow of
current through it. When electricity is passed through the bulb, the filament
becomes hot and glows brightly. To prevent the filament burning away

completely, the glass bulb filled with a mixture of inert gas (usually argon
and nitrogen). The filament in most light bulbs is made of tungsten.

Classification of Incandescent Lamp
1. Large lamps are those normally used for interior and exterior general and task lighting.
2. Miniature lamps are generally used in automotive, aircraft, and
appliance applications.
-
88
3. Photographic lamps as the name implies, are used in photography
and projection service.
Kinds of High Intensity discharge lamp
1. Mercury lamp is an electric discharge lamp in which the major portion of the radiation is produced by the excitation of mercury atoms.
-
89
2. Metal halide lamp is an electric discharge lamp in which the light
is produced by the radiation from an excited mixture of a metallic vapor (mercury) and the products of the dissociation of halides (for
example, halides of thallium, indium, sodium).
3. High-pressure sodium lamp is an electric discharge lamp in which
the radiation is produced by an excitation of sodium vapor in
which the partial pressure of the vapor during operation is of the order of 104 N/m2.

The Incandescent Filament Lamp Construction This lamp consist; simply of a tungsten filament inside a gas-filled, sealed glass envelop. Current passing through the high-resistance filament heats it to incandescence, producing light. Gradual evaporation of the filament causes the familiar blackening of the bulbs and eventual filament rupture and lamp failure.

INFORMATION SHEET 1.2 FLUORESCENT LIGHTING FIXTURES
PEC Rules on Wire Dressing and Termination
Article 6.3.1.3 Live Parts. Fixtures, lamp holders, lamps, rosettes, and receptacles shall have no live parts normally exposed to contact. Exposed accessible terminals in lamp holders, receptacles, and switches shall not be installed in metal fixture canopies or in open bases of portable table or floor lamps.
All joints/splices to be done must be properly insulated with spaghetti sleeving, wrapped with electrical tape having a similar thickness of the conductor used. Types of electric discharge fluorescent lamps
1. Pre-heat starting, hot-cathode This requires starter (glow switch)
and is pre-heated during starting. It uses a ballast to produce high voltage to start the lamp into operation and to limit the flow of current.
2. Cold cathode This requires high voltage in its operation. This lamp
has electrodes made of thimble-type iron. It is not pre-heated and does not require a starter for starting. Special high voltage transformers operate it. Neon and mercury lamps are classified under cold cathode lamps.
3. Instant-starting, hot-cathode The lamp cathode in the instant-start
is not pre-heated. Sufficient voltage is applied across the cathodes to create an instantaneous arc. As in preheat circuit; the cathodes are heated during lamp operation by the arc. The instant-start lamps, which require single-pin bases, are generally called slim line lamps.
4. Hot-cathode, rapid-start These are similar in construction to the
preheat lamps; the basic difference is in the circuitry. This circuit eliminates the delay inherent in preheat circuits by keeping the lamp cathodes constantly energized (preheated). When the lamp circuit is energized, the arc is struck immediately. No external starter is required. Because of its simplicity of operation, rapid start lamps will operate satisfactorily in a preheat circuit. The reverse is not true, because preheat requires more current to heat the cathode than the rapid-start ballast provides.
Operation of pre-heat type fluorescent lamp The tube filaments, starter (glow switch), and ballast are all connected in series, which constitute a complete circuit once the switch is closed. As current flows through, the gas (inert) inside the starter glows and the electrodes are heated. Since one of the electrodes is a bi-metal, it bends
-
97
and makes contact with the other. At this instant, the circuit is metallically complete. The filaments of the fluorescent tube are then heated and partial ionization takes place. The bi-metals in the starter cools and the contacts open. The magnetic field in the ballast collapses rapidly producing an inductive kick, which establishes a current between the filaments and fires the tube into operation.

Current moves in utilizing the rare gas as conducting means and the
rare gas produces a glow. The glow generates heat and causes the
bimetallic blade to expand.
When the bimetallic blade is heated, it changes shape and touches
the fixed contact. The close contacts of the two starter contacts produce an
easy path for the current to flow.
Parts and operation function of the ballast
In common with all gaseous discharge lamps, the fluorescent must be
provided with some device for limiting the current drawn by the discharge. Without a limiting device, the current would rise to a value that would destroy the lamp. A device or auxiliary called ballast can best meet this requirement. The ballast for operating lamps on an alternating current consists of a small choke coil woven on an iron core.

103
This ballast serves three important functions:
1. It preheats the electrodes to make available a large supply of the electron.
2. It provides a surge of relatively large potential to start the arc between the electrodes.
3. It prevents the arc current to increase beyond the limit set for each size and lamp.
The Life Span of Fluorescent Lamp
The life of fluorescent lamp is affected not only by the fluctuation of voltage and current but also by the number of times it is started. Electron emission material is sputtered off from the electrodes continuously during the operation of the lamp and in larger quantities each time the lamp starts. Many fluorescent lamps have a rated average life span up to 30,000 continuous burning hours but with an average of 3 hours burning per start, it could only last for 12,000 hours.
