A low-pressure sodium vapor lamp
Lamps of this type can typically be started at a low voltage
An electric discharge through an ionized gas
Certain individuals claim this psychokinetic ability
The ballast can once again cause the arc to strike
Using (Street) sodium in an excited (Light) state (Interference)
Uses a Penning mixture (Street) to start the gas (Light) discharge (Interference)
Street Light Interference
Produce light at a wavelength of five hundred eighty-nine nanometers
Containing solid sodium and a small amount of argon and neon gas
When one of these reaches mean-time-to-failure
It exhibits a phenomenon known as cycling
This is caused by a loss of sodium in the arc
Insulated with a mica disc and contained within a borosilicate glass discharge tube
Additional voltage is required to maintain the arc discharge
