Abstract
The article gives an overview of the materials systems used for
incandescent lamps as well as a brief introduction to the systems
used for fluorescent lamps. The materials used for incandescent
lamps are doped tungsten used for the filaments, metals and alloys
used for terminal and support posts, lead wires and internal
reflectors and screens as well as glasses for the envelope. The
physics of bulbs and changes in bulbs during use are elucidated.
The cost and energy savings and environmental benefits by
replacement of incandescent lamps by fluorescent lamps are
presented.
