About Lamps

april asked:


I am moving into an older apartment and there are no ceiling lamps in the bedroom and living room. I bought a floor lamp from Walmart and 75W ‘daylight’ energy saving bulb from Home Depot. I find the lighting dull and not good enough to read with-I’m a student. This is really bothering me, how best can I light the rooms using lamps and have adequate light in them? I want them well illuminated and don’t want to ruin my eyes either.

By the time of Romeo and Juliet I mean the 1600’s. Can you describe what type it was if you could. Please don’t tell me there weren’t any lamps because there isn’t electricity, lamps an operate without electricity.

Thanks.

Don’t have much time before moving and pouring out kerosene would mean toxic waste disposal, which will be hard to do. There isn’t that much fuel left in bottom of lamps; what harm is there in driving these in air-conditioned car, if safely wrapped in plastic and secured against breakage or spillage? Thanks for any advice!

I bought these beautiful stain glass lamps. They have a greasy film that smells like gas on them. I’ve tried using windex, and even shampooed them, but the yucky smelling film is still there. Any suggestions on how to remove it? Also, is it dangerous (to turn on my lamps with that film?) or toxic (to the touch or smell)? Thanks!

I need the spectrum (image), as well as lumens and colour temperature specifications, of the following lamps from Philips: TLK/40W (which is an UV lamp), Cool White 18W/840 and the Master TL-D Super 80 18W/827. I have tried a crazy lot of searches with poor results. Or ideas on what lamps to use, beside HID- an HPS lamps, would also help. It’s for sustaining some Southern African trees (Acacia) indoors.

The way that chemistry students are usually introduced to the concept of atomic spectra is through a discussion of element “lamps” - like the helium lamp or the hydrogen lamp. (Consider, for example, the images at http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/quantum/atspect.html.) I do not understand why splitting the light emitted from these lamps (by using, say, a prism) allows us to see a myriad of colors as opposed to just one color. How do these element lamps energize the electrons in such a way that we see wavelengths of light corresponding to multiple electron transitions instead of just one? (When one conducts a flame test for metallic ions, for example, one sees only a single color, not multiple ones…unless I’ve got it all wrong.)

I bought two lamps and want to paint them a different color but not sure what kind to use.
