Lamps add light, décor and
style to any room in your home. Even a dark corner of a
room not used much can benefit from well chosen lamps.
Not only do lamps provide light and brilliance, they
look really great.
Originally a lamp was a vessel for holding oil that
could be burned through a wick for illumination; the
term has been extended to other lighting devices. In
Egypt and the Middle East saucer-like terra-cotta lamps
were known. The Greeks often used a cylindrical spout
for the wick. The Romans used a superior closed type of
lamp, often with multiple spouts. The float-wick lamp,
in which the wick is supported above the oil, was
probably of Egyptian origin; it survived in the West
chiefly as a sanctuary lamp. Lighting with lamps has a
long and useful history of helping to illuminate our
homes
Nowadays it’s not
necessary to use an actual flame in our lamps, we have
more sophisticated methods such as incandescent lamps
and tungsten-halogen lamp. Tungsten-halogen lamps use a
tungsten filament as the light source, a gas filling
that includes a halogen and a quartz bulb. The halogens
prevent lamp walls from darkening as quickly as those of
the other incandescent lamps, so more light is available
to the task or work surface.
