Abstract

In the space of 100 years, modern electric lighting has evolved from candles, carbon-arc lamps and incandescent filament lamps. Spectacular developments in recent years of tungsten-filament and fluorescent lamps have greatly increased their colour rendering, efficiencies and lives, and promise a 'bright' outlook for the future.
