Excerpt from A Comparative Study of Plain and Frosted Lamps
These results of frosting may be classified under three general heads: (1) Change in Absorption; (2) Change in Distribution; (3) Change in Life.
In conjunction with the study of the change in distribution many observations were made on the mean spherical reduction factors of a number of types of filaments. In fact, owing to the importance of this question in its bearing on the commercial rating of incandescent lamps on a basis of mean spherical candlepower, much attention was given to this part of the investigation. The results will, therefore, be discussed in a separate section of the paper.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book analyzes how frosted incandescent lamps differ from plain ones. The author, an expert in the field, provides a comparative study of various frosted and plain lamps, discussing the advantages and disadvantages of each. Insights are provided on mean horizontal intensity, mean spherical candlepower, and useful life. The author posits that the reduced lifespan of frosted lamps is due to increased light absorption by the deposited carbon film. The effects of frosting on distribution, life, and absorption are examined in-depth, with the author concluding that the useful life of frosted lamps is reduced to 60-70% of plain lamps due to this increased absorption, rather than a difference in physical or mechanical properties. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781333746612_0
