Task 8

DATA ANALYSIS:

A SODIUM-VAPOR LAMP is a gas-discharge lamp that uses sodium in an excited state to produce light. There are two varieties of such lamps: low pressure and high pressure. Low-pressure sodium lamps are the most efficient electrical light sources, but their yellow light restricts applications to outdoor lighting such as street lamps. Highpressure sodium lamps have a broader spectrum of light but poorer color rendering than other types. Because sodium vapor lamps cause less light pollution than mercuryvapor lamps, many cities that have large astronomical observatories employ them. In a sodium vapour lamp has to types 1.

A MERCURY-VAPOR LAMP is a gas discharge lamp that uses an electric arc through vaporized mercury to produce light. The arc discharge is generally confined to a small fused quartz arc tube mounted within a larger borosilicate glass bulb. The outer bulb may be clear or coated with a phosphor; in either case, the outer bulb provides thermal insulation, protection from the ultraviolet radiation the light produces, and a convenient mounting for the fused quartz arc tube. Mercury vapor lamps are more energy efficient than incandescent and most fluorescent lights, with luminous efficacies of 35 to 65 lumens/watt. Their other advantages are a long bulb lifetime in the range of 24,000 hours and a high intensity, clear white light output.

A sodium-vapor lamp is a gas-discharge lamp that uses sodium in an excited state to produce light High-pressure sodium lamps have a broader spectrum of light but poorer color rendering than other types. High pressure sodium lamps are quite efficientabout 100 lm/W It is available in 70w,150w,250W And 400w In this lamp we are using a ignator for ignate the lamp sodium vapor lamps cause less light pollution than mercury-vapor lamps

Advantages: i) Its efficiency is higher than that of the filament lamp. ii) It has a long life. Disadvantages: i) The bright yellow colour obtained is not suitable for indoor lighting. So it is not useful in houses. ii) For the necessary output, long tubes are required.

iii) For giving full output, some time (about 10 minutes) is required.

Advantages: i) Its efficiency is high and output is more. ii) It has long life.

Disadvantages: i) The initial time required for warming up is more about 5 minutes. ii) If lamp goes out while in service, cooling is required for restarting. This cooling reduces the vapour Application
HPSV lamps are used for road lighting, decorative flood lighting, indoor and outdoor recreational sports facilities and also in commercial and industrial applications.

pressure. Application
HPMV Lamps are used for lighting of secondary roads, car parking areas, parks and gardens, factory sheds, etc.
