water ingress, humidity, protection and robust construction. They
are cooler operation and very efficient converting electricity into light. 10.
Fluorescent luminaires
A luminaire equipment which supports electric lamp and distributes
or filters the light created the lamp. Fluorescent tubes operate the ‘dis-
charge’ principle; that is, the excitation gas within glass tube.

Key Fact
Energy efficiency
● fluorescent lamps and CFLs
(compact fluorescent lamps) are
energy efficient lamps
● they give more light out for every
electrical, watt input.24. The voltmeter calibrated take account the turns ratio
of the transformer, that the voltmeter displays the actual supply voltage.
Fluorescent lamps are linear arc tubes, internally coated with fluorescent
powder, containing little low pressure mercury vapour and argon gas.
A lamp device for converting electrical energy into light energy. The
lamp construction shown Fig. General lighting service (GLS) lamps and tung-
sten halogen lamps use very hot wire filament create the light and so
they also become very hot use.Alternating current theory and electrical machines

A Voltage Transformer (or VT) has the main supply voltage connected the
primary winding the transformer and the voltmeter connected the sec-
ondary winding. essentially the ‘light fitting’.
Separated Extra-low Voltage (SELV) Transformers the primary winding
and the secondary winding double wound transformer have sepa-
rate connection earth, then the output the transformer effectively
isolated from the input since the only connection between the primary
and secondary windings the magnetic flux the transformer core. There
are many types lamps.
They form the basic principle most energy efficient lamps
