Devices that are used to produce light in visible and non-visible wavelengths. These devices require a socket to hold the items.
Incandescents, Neon
Light sources that use a heated filament to emit light and light sources that contain neon (an inert gas) which emits light when the gas is excited (current flows through the tube).
Inverters
Devices designed to provide a large voltage output using a small input voltage. These devices are most often used in specific backlighting situations.
CCFL and UV
Light sources that use a mercury vapor to emit UV light that causes a phosphor coating to emit light (Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamp) and other light sources that provide wavelengths in the Ultraviolet frequency range (750THz ~ 30,000THz).
