Electric lighting

Electric lighting involves using electrical energy to produce visible light, primarily through devices called lamps or bulbs. These fixtures convert electrical power into light via different technologies like incandescent, fluorescent, or LED. When electricity flows through a filament or semiconductor, it generates light as a byproduct. Electric lighting provides a safe, reliable, and controllable way to illuminate spaces, enhancing visibility and extending usable hours beyond daylight. It has revolutionized daily life, enabling work, safety, and leisure after dark, and offers diverse options tailored to different needs and energy efficiencies.
