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 ...

Once broken, a compact fluorescent light bulb continuously releases mercury vapor into the air for weeks to months, and the total amount can exceed safe human exposure levels in a poorly ventilated ...

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.

Around a dozen Qatari investors are participating in the QR16 million project, to be called Al Shams. Private investors hold 63 per cent equity in the new company, with QIDB holding 15 per cent and ...

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 ...

Cooper Hewitt linear mercury vapor lamp, ca. 1925. Characteristics: Double-ended tube with cup-style electrodes on one end, mercury-pool electrode on the other. Clear, tubular envelope with ...

Owing to their energy efficiency, the market for fluorescent lighting is rapidly growing. However, these lamps contain mercury, which is a well-known toxicant, especially for the neural development of ...

The Optoelectronics group of Vishay Intertechnology announced the VLMU3100, an ultraviolet (UV) LED in the surface-mount PLCC-2 package. Aimed at a wide range of applications, including adhesive ...
