👉 The lamp fluid, also known as halogen or mercury vapor fluid, is a specialized liquid used in incandescent and some types of fluorescent lamps to facilitate efficient light production. It serves as both an electrical conductor and a medium for heat transfer, allowing the lamp to emit light while also dissipating excess heat generated during operation. Typically composed of a mixture of halogen atoms, this fluid is crucial for maintaining the lamp's longevity and performance, as it helps prevent the evaporation of the halogen, which could otherwise reduce the lamp's lifespan and efficiency. In modern applications, advancements have led to the development of low-pressure mercury vapor lamps, which use a different type of fluid but share similar principles in achieving effective light emission.
