1
Q

Tungsten lamp

A

light is created by running electrical current through a tungsten filament until it glows.
Filament is held in an inert gas inside the sealed glass bulb to prevent the filament from simply being incinerated.
Powered by either AC or DC

Q

why are tungsten lamps made of quartz?

A

the halogen cycle must occur at a high temperature (at least 250 C) quartz can withstand a high temperature

Q

Fresnel lens

A

refacts the diverging rays of light emitted by the bulb into a controlled beamof light
has the same light bending as a standard plan-convex lens, but compresses the convex curve into jagged steps, making it lighter and thinner, so it retains less heat
back of the lens is frosted or slightly peddled, helps maintain a very even bean, prevents it from projecting an image of the fialment

Q

spherical reflector

A

gives fresnel its high level of control and even field
reflects light straight back through the bulb
therefore all light eminates from a single point within the fixture
polished reflector- maximizes light output
frosted reflector- maintains even field

Q

FLood/spot on Fresnel

A

globe and reflector move together
toward the lens, floods, increasing spread and decreasing intensity
away from lens, spots, makes beam narrower and more intense

Q

A

Flood- beam even across 40 deg, falls off quickly toward edge. no central hotspot
spotted in- rays become less divergent, more nearly parallel, beam narrows and gets brighter at the center, falling off rapidly at either side
