Gas-discharge lamp

From Wikimini
Jump to: navigation, search

A gas discharge lamp is a type of artificial light source that produces light by passing an electric current through an ionized gas or metal vapor within a sealed tube. The electrical discharge excites the gas atoms, causing them to emit light. Common examples include fluorescent lights, neon signs, and high-intensity discharge (HID) lamps used in streetlights.
