Doubleend
Doubleend refers to a type of lighting fixture or bulb that has electrical contacts at both ends. This design allows for electricity to flow through the bulb from either end, providing a symmetrical and often more powerful illumination compared to single-ended bulbs. Double-ended bulbs are commonly found in applications requiring high-intensity light, such as in photographic studios, stage lighting, and certain types of industrial lighting. The construction typically involves a glass envelope containing a filament or gas discharge tube, with metal caps or pins at each extremity for connection to a power source. The symmetrical nature of double-ended bulbs also means they can be rotated or installed in various orientations without affecting their function. Their use is often dictated by specific fixture designs that are engineered to accommodate the two-point electrical connection.
