    Pressure Sodium (HPS) HPS are the most prevailing type of lamps in use in roadway and street lighting in California, accounting for most locations. HPS lamps can produce light with an amber or yellow appearance, and they provide color rendering (CRI) with an average of 22-70. The main disadvantages with HPS is they are slow to restrike, dimmability and low CRI. Low Pressure Sodium (LPS) High Pressure Sodium (HPS) LPS and HPS lamps have been the standard in parking lot and street illumination

    electrical engineering, After experimenting with different sources, I started using glow discharges to produce light. In 1986 I had devised a glow discharge lighting system, creating an extension to the Geissler tube. The lamp utilized nitrogen and carbon dioxide as the luminous gas because they emitted a soft white light. My technique was the first commercially variable light source based on gas discharge instead of incandescence, and it's considered the predecessor to contemporary neon and fluorescent

    this is one of his many achievements. Nikola Tesla invented many things including the remote, the tesla coil, the violet ray, the induction motor, the tesla valve, alternating current, wireless telegraphy, three-phase electric power, the neon lamp, and the vacuum variable capacitor.The Tesla coil is one of Nikola Tesla's most famous inventions. It is essentially a high-frequency air-core transformer. It takes the output from a 120vAC to several kilovolt transformer & driver circuit and steps

    Ultraviolet light/ozone gas (UVO) treatment is regarded as one of the most cost-effective, environmentally friendly and convenient technique for polymer surface modification. This technique relies upon the combined effects of UV light produced by lamps such as low-pressure mercury vapor lamps, and ozone gas, either produced in-situ by UV-induced reactions or supplied by a separate ozone gas generator. Prior to its recognition as a potential polymer surface treatment method in the early 1980s, UVO

    Analysis You can tell if a streetlight is a sodium vapor lamp because it will be yellow, similar the color that is produced when the Na+ solution was placed in the flame of the Bunsen burner. When atoms or ions in the ground state (the lowest allowed energy state of an atom, molecule, or ion) are heated to high temperatures using a Bunsen burner, some of the electrons may absorb enough energy to move into an excited state (any quantum state of an atom that has higher energy than the ground state)

    UV radiation and chlorination are predominantly employed techniques. UV radiation emitted by the sun was discovered to have germicidal effects on pathogens and micro-organisms present water. From this discovery came the introduction of UV radiation lamps, which emit similar UV rays to the sun to disinfect the water. Chlorination systems had come into use a few years later during the 1900’s as scientists had discovered the disinfection properties of chlorine. Both methods have benefits and weaknesses
