INCANDESCENT
Incandescent lamps are probably the most known lamps out on the market. When the average person thinks about a light bulb, they tend to imagine an incandescent filament bulb. Incandescent lamps have been used for decades to illuminate homes, roads, businesses, and much more. They were the most widely used lamp of the 20th century as they led the way in illumination from the origin of the light bulb until now.
Incandescent bulbs use a tungsten metal filament on the inside, that has a certain amount of resistance from one end to the other. When you send current through the lamp this filament gets so hot that it begins to glow. This glowing is what the lamp uses to illuminate a room. Every type of lamp has some sort of inert gas on the inside that helps create a “jacket” around the tungsten filament to minimize oxidization. In incandescent lamps this gas is argon. Some other lamps like high-pressure sodium HID’s use xenon instead.
To find out if an incandescent lamps is good you can normally visually inspect the filament. If it appears broken then most likely the lamp is bad. If you’re unsure, or you have a frosted lamp, you can take your tester out and switch it to “continuity” and test from the metal tip of the bottom side of the lamp, to the metal screw-shell. You should hear a continuous tone from the tester. If there’s no tone, then more than likely the filament is broken and the lamp is bad.
HALOGEN:
Halogen’s are a slightly different “family” of lamps than incandescent but they operate very similarly so often times they’re still considered incandescent light sources. A halogen lamp still has a tungsten filament inside of them, but they normally put this filament inside of an inner quartz tube deep inside the lamp. The quartz tube is typically filled with an amalgam of Halogen gasses rather than Argon. The halogen gas does a couple of things - it helps reduce breakdown of the tungsten filament and re-deposits the suit flaking off of the element back onto the element. The reason they’re designed this way is that a typical incandescent lamp wastes a lot of energy when illuminating. Designing a smaller filament with a smaller quartz tube, filled with Halogen gasses, allows a lot of that energy to be captured allowing the lamp to operate more efficiently.
The temperature inside of the quartz tube is extremely hot, and the glass surrounding the element is so close to the filament that it actually needs to be stronger than glass - so it doesn’t melt. This is why they make it out of quartz instead.
FLUORESCENT:
Fluorescent lamps are probably the next most-used light source on the market. These are used in kitchens, garages, shops, retail stores, office buildings, shopping centers, manufacturing plants, and much more. Fluorescents are very efficient lamps in that they don’t rely on a metal filament to glow, but rather strike an arc that is regulated by a ballast as the source of illumination.
When a fluorescent lamp ignites electrons are sent back and forth from one end of the tube to the other until an arc forms. Once this arc stream reaches a certain temperature a small deposit of mercury, inside the lamp, melts and vaporizes into the arc stream. This mercury creates UV light which is typically very bad radiation for a human to take on their skin. For this reason almost all fluorescent lamps are coated on the inside with a white phosphor powder. This does more than just sheild from UV radiation, it actually glows when it interacts with UV light. So fluorescence is a type of phosphorescence. It’s literally an arc stream that makes phosphor glow as a result of the UV radiation let off by the mercury arc stream inside of the lamp. Pretty cool huh?

In a world where I was unsure if I was going to reenlist or get out because honestly I'm ready to be a civilian again. With your insites I'm proud to say I'm going to be an electrician. Tho you're recently sponsored I'd like to thank you for all the videos you did in both channels with nothing in return. Thanks man.
Thanks for watching my dude, and thank you for your service!
@@ElectricianU would you mind if I messaged you with a few questions? If so, please email me at guitarhax@gmail.com and thumbs up this so I know to check. If not, still you're awesome man. Keep on keeping on! You're making the world a better place. Genuine.
My understanding of the "don't touch quartz halogen lamps with bare hands" issue is that any oil deposited on the surface from the skin will burn, and the resulting remnants/soot becomes blackened carbon that absorbs more heat which creates hotspots on the surface when the lamp is burning. I though it was those hotspots/uneven temperatures that lead to premature failure.
That is exactly what happens, it's just he was explaining it in a very summarized way.
Besides burnt residues, skin oils are soluble in hot quartz. These skin oils dissolving in the quartz cause to to devitrify which craters its transmissivity and thus it overheats and causes envelope failure.

Really in depth ....the new generation of the electrical game is fortunate to have you out here sharing this information
Sadly misinformation about every lamp type.
Love this video because you included a Mercury Vapor Bulb. As a kid back in the 70s we would play in the street under those lamps. When they came on (often with an audible buzz), it was time to go home. Thanks for all the videos, man.
As an electrical engineer just starting out, your videos are a great help! Thank you very much!
Hey great video! Keep it up!!
Great video as always!
Thank you my friend!
Extremely educational keep up the great work brother
It would have been nice to have tell us about the different lamp bases. Maybe a short video on that topic? Thank you.
There are dozens of bases and a video would take hours to explain them all, the most common base is E26.
Great, informational video! Thanks!
Lighting is an amazing subject.
What's also fascinating about different light bulbs, is the shape and how the light comes out differently because of the shape.
Keep it up amigo !!! Blessings
Well illustrated with superb explanation.
1st educational video, complete and through. I look forward to all your episodes. Thanks
Great job man
10:50 my dad explained to me once to never touch the headlight bulb when I'm changing it because the oils on my fingers will leave a residue on the bulb that draw the Heat and will crack it...
Yep if you somehow can't manage to find a rag or gloves, use your shirt or anything just do not let skin oil get on the bulb, I taught that to as many people as I could, when changing any bulbs, while working at O'Reilly's.
Wow! You are amazing, Electrician U!!! Thanks for sharing.

Very helpful for us reviewing electrical technology in Architecture Field. 😊
Your channel i didnt know i need, i got this strange fascination on learning how things work and you explained a lot to feed my curiosity on these different bulbs. A lot i knew already but stuff like the halogen bulbs, i always thought the halogen gas itself made the filament glow brighter, but in reality it only allows the smaller filament glow hotter. Fascinating stuff!

Dude super super useful, thanks from U.K. 👍 🇬🇧
Omg EXCELLENT. I SELL AT Walmart in hardware I get asked 20 Times a day about lamps. I learned so much. People just don't know lamps. I had a General understanding but this helped tremendously. People come in so frustrated. Just today a lady stood and gazed 25 mins. She never asked me a question. Another was looking for a small base tube for her microwave. It looked like a E12 tube lamp. We were out she told me I'm frustrated can you help me when she came into hardware.
After I watched this channel. This is school should teaching. Fastest and easy to understand to electrical freedom.
Pl 7 are our old exit light we have on our university campus in Ontario Canada. We also have 4 pin 32 , 42 , 18 , lamps in hallways and main entrances. They heat alot and burn out the sockets, most of our voltage is 347, 600 ac. Led technology need to get going on this , these lamps or 30+$ each..and we buy by the cases.. crazy. And good to not every manufacturer has a different rating. It's a trial and error issue..Love the videos Dustin, keep it up. Cheers buddy 👍👍
I expected to learn about size of the bulbs like A19 bulb with E26 Base (Standard house bulbs, in my opinion). but this was certainly an awesome video and I learned a lot. Thank you Dustin Stelzer.
A19 is the bulb shape. E26 is base that plugs into the socket. There are different bulb shapes like A15 (half the size of a typical A19), candelabra (candle shape appearance). It was confusing for me to learn about these as well. Hope it helps someone in the future reading the comments.

I'm liking this video just because you compared 2700K to the look of dehydrated urine! And thank you for reminding us to match up the lumen output too. This is often overlooked when the other criteria are matched up.
Thank you for all of these informative videos. I'm perusing a career in this field, currently in the stage of looking for a company and sponsor to endorse me. This material will help a great deal to start and down the road!
Good video, I did notice you did not mention induction lamps.
Will you have a video going into all the bulb/lamp/socket shapes and names (like E26, E27 and A19)?
Also maybe something about preheat vs instant start fluorescent lights? (and info about ballasts, starters, etc).
Definitely will. I'm probably going to get into tombstones and sockets in a series on their own though. Also ballast types is another one I'm working on gathering materials for as we speak
i have had a CFL overheat cause of the type of fixture it was in. always make sure with CFLs that the lamp has adequate ventilation to stop the ballast from overheating
Great video thank you so much for spending the time to inform us. Please make a video on Dimmers (Incandescent, Electronic, Magnetic, Etc...) Plsssss

Hey Dustin, I love this video! My love for lamps is borderline unhealthy. As a union stagehand, I get pick of the litter for pretty and damaged lamps.
It would be so fun to have a short video on why your lamp will develop bubbles and pretty colors if you don't handle with gloves.
@electrician u
I was wondering if you know/could let me know what website or websites I can go to to buy Hid fixtures and ballasts and bulbs and the like thanks.
Actually, the LEDs are the only ones you can accurately call a light. The rest produce far more heat than light. They are heaters that can also light a room. LEDs produce mostly light. Some do generate a lot of heat but that's usually due to an inefficient circuit design and not the diodes themselves. They have to convert 110ac to around 3dc. A quick and dirty way to do that is to burn the extra energy off as heat. That's why some have heat sinks. It's a sure sign of a poorly made bulb.
and the heaters are still operating as parking lot lights after being installed 40 years ago lol. Tf you mean

I have seen 12 volt bulbs with an e26 base before mainly in fairgrounds and it really stumped me for a bit. Also fun fact an incandescent filament isn't just a coil, it's a coil that's been coiled up. The coil you notice first is actually made out of a coil of wire to begin with.
First!!! Can't wait to watch the new episode.
Great vid. Now what is the base size of the halide or halogen bulbs and can I change them to a led and where can I find them
What happened to your left biceps area?
I had a battle with some drywall and my ladder while my arm was in a wall...my ladder decided it no longer wanted to involve itself in the war, so the drywall won.
Sounds like the epitome of T.I. work. It can turn into a battle field
@@ElectricianU been there - although it was a step ladder and siding and I managed to avoid breaking any bones but from how tied up I was in the twisted broken ladder I am not really sure how.
Interesting on the halogen explanation, my dad always told me it was the oils on your skin getting on the bulb would create a hot spot on the glass and cause the bulb to break and fail
That is actually true. I've done it where the glass/quartz actually pops off in the exact location I touched it. The oils on your skin "weaken the bulb" because of the temperature difference created by said oil, etc. To say that touching it makes the glass more porous is a bit far fetched. It's glass, super hard. He even started that particular glass is extra hard. How is oil going to penetrate glass? Or make it more porous? Lots of food companies would have to re-think the wheel.
@@Rico702Vegas Skin oils are soluble in hot quartz, and their dissolving in it causes devitrification. This devitrified quartz absorbs a lot of filament radiation and thus overheats and fails.

Hi Dustin, I love these your episodes of ELECTRICIAN U. I have a semi-old Florescent lamp in my kitchen ceiling. I heard that if I replace the Balas & the lamps I can have better lighting in my kitchen. Is that true? Can I do that?
If the lamp has a magnetic ballast, upgrading it to an electronic ballast will increase the light output and efficiency of the lamp. It will also eliminate flicker and humming
My area light stop working. It uses 250w HPS bulb. I still have a good bulb but looks like the ballast is no good. I cant find a new area light that can withstand this 250w HPS bulb.
Can i just replace the ballast?
Any input is appreciated.

Dustin, is it true that if you don't change burned-out fluorescent bulbs that the ballast will burn out attempting to start the bulbs? In other words, the ballast stays in startup mode and burns out faster?

Great idea, I'll add that to the list
Fuses, just check continuity/resistance.
Thanks brother, another awesome video ,but LED’s have drivers not ballasts.
not from the US, but lamp is still used my my language, and we use it for the thing that a bulb goes into, that is the "housing"
Use of polycrystalline alumina in high pressure sodium lamps is due to liquid sodium and sodium plasma being _very_ corrosive to quartz. Also, the plasma in a HPS lamp is too cool to excite the mercury which contributes little to no light of its own. It's job is as a buffer gas to drive up plasma resistivity and thus allow for shorter arc tubes. Mercury free HPS lamps exist, and they have much longer arc tubes to correct for the lower sodium plasma impedance.
I would like a video that gives focus to safety tips for beginners on the job such as before they do task A or B they need to make sure they do/look out for these things first. So basically how to approach a job appropriately.
Great idea, I'll write that down

Thank you very much for the video. You should break this video in 8 minutes part videos. Little drops of wisdom! 😉😁🤔👍
I've thought about that, I think each one should be a video in itself too
Excellent detail but one finnicky point: LEDs don't use a ballast; they use a driver. Ballasts are for fluorescents.
most modern ballasts don't preheat the cathodes anymore, they just send a blast of high voltage through them, this shortens the life of the ballast but people want it to start instantly so that is what you get now.

@@limelimelime7818 I could, in fact I have done a similar experiment in the past. Although with fluorescent lights, it isn't the hours that kill them, it is the cycling. Putting them on a timer to cycle them on and off every hour or so would be more ideal for a "life test" sort of situation. Fluorescent lights can run for years without being turned off and show little to no signs of wear.
One thing I would have been curious about, would be HO, and VHO fluorescent lights..

Can you dim floursent bulbs
only rapid start tubes. The fixture also requires a dimming ballast and compatible dimmer. The setup keeps the cathodes properly heated while varying the arc current. A standard fluorescent ballast used with an ordinary dimmer cannot be dimmed, if you try it may dim a very small amount then drop out, since the cathodes would also receive less heating current and be unable to maintain an arc.
You remind me so much of myself when trying to explain things. Greatly appreciated. By the way. On the high pressure sodiums the arc tube is actually made from alumina because sodium doesnt react with it like it would with glass where it will eat through it and begin to leak. Older ones will because they now use a tiny resivour at the ends to hold sodium when its cool or hasnt evaporated all of it. And it is basically spots where it pools up in a dip around the electrodes. And the incandescents are actually pretty common and are one of the only lamps/bulbs that have almost perfect balance spectrum of light of 100cri so they are used where color rendering and color quality is most important over energy usage.

The only thing about incandescent light bulbs is something the filament might be broken but touching lightly. It will give you a reading on Ohm meter but when power is turned on filament is open where there is no light. I've ran across that quite a few times. ELO👾
Question with the Compact Fluorescent. (15:45). What if the fixture has a ballast and the lamp (bulb) has one as well???
Usually they don't fit to each other because this won't work.

This is interesting to hear "lamp vs bulb" because my British ass thinks bulbs is what you put in lamps. The Lamps is the housing.

Add led Edison light bulbs
what about direct wire LED? There's no ballast in the fixture itself, bulb is directional. Only goes in fixture one way otherwise wont light up
LED drop in /direct replacement for CFL can be fickle when comes to the ballast in existing light fixture

I think it's the other way around, high power bulbs have a thick filament and burn hotter for the same life. A small fridge bulb of 10w has a thin uncoiled wire stretched out in several lines and really wobbly. 12V halogens have a thick filament last very long with an inductive power supply. 30W on 230V installed horizonally stretches the filament under its own weight. CFLs operate at too high power (20w, yours says 42w) that rises up into the small ballast if installed base up. Worse than LEDs.
Metal halide is one of the best lamps with close to continuous white light. I remember mercury street lamps producing a weird blue light that seemed bright, but it was not possible to read under it or see grey LCD screens. They looked nice in winter with snow.

if the fixture of a hps light came with a 175 watt bulb can it be replaced with a 70 watt hps bulb so it is not so bright?
No, it’s only rated for a 175 watt HID bulb. You can’t downgrade a high wattage high pressure sodium bulb or any other HID bulb with a lower wattage bulb like you can with an incandescent, halogen, CFL, or LED fixture. Also, that’s either a 175 watt metal halide or 175 watt mercury vapor fixture, so it can only take either a 175 watt metal halide bulb or a 175 watt mercury vapor bulb. I don’t think 175 watt high pressure sodium bulbs exist at all. Installing a 70 watt high pressure sodium bulb in a 175 watt fixture is not a good idea at all. The ballast is more than twice the wattage of a 70 watt bulb. It will create more heat, wattage, current, etc. than what the bulb is rated for, which will shorten the lifespan of the bulb. It will cause it to cycle on and off like any HID lamp when they reach the end of their lifespan, it could potentially explode, and it could potentially cause a fire. I advise you purchase a 70 watt high pressure sodium fixture if you want a more subtle light output. If you know how HID fixtures work, then you can retrofit the fixture with a 70 watt high pressure sodium ballast. Look at the wiring schematics online if you’re willing to retrofit your existing high wattage components with lower wattage ones. There’s still high pressure sodium retrofit kits available online, even though they’re slowly being phased out in favor of LEDs.
@@loudspeakertestsmorebyaida3804 yes it killed the 70 watt. it did not blow apart. so I just converted it to incandescent. thanks for reply
