lamps

Although people generally refer to lamps as a combination of a light fixture and the bulb, the bulb itself is technically considered the lamp.

By definition, lamps are replaceable components designed to produce light from electricity. As mentioned, an example of a lamp would be an incandescent light bulb.

To broaden the term 'lamp', the light source can be powered by battery, electricity or fuel.

A variety of lamp types exist. Special lamp types are created for use in specific industries including aerospace, automotive medicine and marine.

Some lamp types include: swing arm lamps, arc floor lamps, reading lamps and projector lamps, to name but a few.

You'll find bloggers talking about lamps at sites like The Early Electrics Blogs and Bathroom Decor Tips.
