Accent Lighting Directional lighting to emphasize a particular object or draw attention to a display item? Adaptation The process by which the human eye adjusts to a change in light level. Additional Information Typical applicati on and/or other importa nt informatio n in eluding footnotes, operating informati on, features and ben efits. Ambient Lighting The general lighting present in an area 一excluding task lighting and accent lighting but including general lighting and daylight streaming in. Amperes (“Amps.”)A measure of electrical current. In incandescent lamps, the current is related to voltage and power as follows: Watts (power) = Volts x Amps (current). Application Also called lighting application,* it refers to the particular use the lamp is being put to. (e.g. high-bay in dustrial applicati on or retail lighting application.) The term can also refer in a general way to application engineering* which deals with specific paramters and usage of light sources, (e.g. how to do a lighting layout, where to place fixtures and so on.) Arc A general term for a high intensity electrical discharge occurring between two electrodes in a gaseous medium, usually accompanied by the generation of heat and the emission of light Arc Lamp A light source containing an arc (see above). Also called a discharge lamp, or an arc discharge lamp Arc Length In High Intensity Discharge lamps this is the distanee between the electrode tips, which represents the physical length of the electrical discharge. Atmosphere This field designates the type of gas or vacuum filling a volume or chamber of the lamp. This chamber might con tain a filament or it might refer to the bulb which contains the arc tube. Average Rated Life ? An average rating, in hours, indicating when 50% of a group of lamps have failed when operated at nominal lamp voltage and current. Manufacturers use 3 hours per start for fluorescent lamps and 10 hours per start for HID (High Intensity Discharge) lamps when performing lam
