Plasmafyllda

Plasmafyllda is a Swedish term that translates to "plasma-filled." It is most commonly encountered in the context of lighting technology, specifically in reference to certain types of gas-discharge lamps. These lamps operate by passing an electric current through a gas, which excites the gas atoms and causes them to emit light. In a plasmafyllda lamp, the gas inside the tube is ionized, creating a plasma state. This plasma then emits light in the visible spectrum, often with a characteristic color depending on the gas used.

Examples of plasmafyllda lighting include some forms of fluorescent lamps and high-intensity discharge (HID) lamps. The plasma is the fundamental mechanism by which light is produced in these devices. The term emphasizes the physical state of the gas within the lamp envelope during operation. Understanding the plasma state is crucial for comprehending the principles behind these lighting technologies, including their efficiency, color rendering, and lifespan. While the term itself is descriptive of the physical process, it is not typically used as a standalone technical classification but rather as an adjective describing a characteristic of the lamp.
