An investigation to find out how much mercury energy-saving lamps contain has been conducted. Seventy-five commercially available lamps were tested, with encouraging results -- as far as mercury ...

An ultraviolet (UV) LED in a surface-mount PLCC-2 package, the VLMU3100 by Vishay Intertechnology, serves as a solid-state replacement for mercury vapor lamps. Featuring a typical luminous intensity ...

Last week, we took a look at fluorescent lighting, which is dramatically reducing our energy use for illuminating indoor spaces. This week, we'll cover mercury vapor lighting, which is the most common ...

The Lumen 200 Fluorescence Illumination System from Prior Scientific offers a powerful, cost effective alternative to traditional short arc Mercury vapour lamps and bulbs used in fluorescence ...

LAST July I published in the Proceedings of the Royal Society an account of a persistent fluorescence of mercury vapour produced by excitation of “2536” light, obtained from a quartz-mercury arc lamp.

Even if you aren’t a tube aficionado, you can’t help but be mesmerized by the blue glow inside a mercury vapor rectifier when it operates. It looks less like early 20th century tech and more like ...
