In the late 19th- century, the invention of the light bulb quickly spread as one of the primary sources of illumination throughout the world. As technology developed, different types of incandescent, fluorescent, and halogen lamps were developed over the years and the use of incandescent and neon lamps became increasingly popular in 1967. This article will discuss the application field and working principle of lamps such as incandescents and neons.

Incandescents

Incandescent light bulbs are most commonly found in residential and workplace environments, and are designed to produce light through electrical resistance. The electricity applied to the filament inside the bulb increases its temperature, causing it to emit light. Incandescent bulbs are generally inexpensive and can be found in a wide range of wattages. Applications range from illuminating public and private spaces to signaling in traffic lights.

Neon

Neon lamps are a type of incandescent lamp with a distinctive reddish-orange glow. Neon lamps were discovered in 1910 and soon thereafter began to be used in various applications. Today, neon lamps are popularly used for advertising, signs, as decorative lighting, and in art installations. Due to the unique shapes and vibrant colors they are able to produce, they make for an interesting addition in home decor.

Working Principles

Incandescents and neon lamps both work by applying electrical current to a filament or through an electrochemical process. When the electricity is applied, the filament or electrodes heat up and emit light. Incandescent bulbs usually have a filament made of tungsten, which produces a bright white light. On the other hand, neon lamps contain neon gas or other rare noble gases that emit light when electricity is applied.

Advantages

This type of light source is common and relatively inexpensive compared to other types of lighting such as halogen and LED. Incandescent bulbs offer good lumen maintenance, meaning they stay bright for a long period of time. Additionally, the range of wattages available in incandescent and neon lamps make them suitable for a variety of applications.

Disadvantages

The main disadvantage of incandescent and neon lamps is their inefficiency in terms of energy consumption. Incandescent bulbs convert only 5% of the energy they consume into light, while the other 95% is converted into heat. Furthermore, the life of incandescent bulbs is relatively short, with an average life span of around 1,000 hours. Neon lamps also consume large amounts of energy, with typical life spans of around 10,000 hours.

Conclusion

Today, incandescents and neon lamps are popularly used for a variety of applications, including lighting up public and private spaces, advertising, signs, art installations, and home décor. They are easy to use, relatively inexpensive, and offer good lumen maintenance. However, their inefficiency in terms of energy consumption is their main disadvantage. As technology continues to develop, there is always potential for new lamps to be developed, such as LED and halogen lamps.
