A family's day with Tungsten(3)

So early in the morning it is good to have this old styled 15W incandescent lamp on his table. The warm and gentle colour of the Tungsten Filament in the lamp makes it easy to get up.

In the bathroom he needs of course a more intense light, to shave closely for the business trip (it isn’t weekend, when he sometimes doesn’t shave at all). A set of Halogen spots with high performance Tungsten wires supply the light.

Dressed up, he passes quietly the rooms of the kids where an energy saving lamp- with electrodes made from Tungsten- has burnt the whole night. The little daughter is still so chicken- hearted, he thinks to himself.

tungsten is used in the form of wire, coils, coiled coils or electrodes in most of the modern lamp systems; power ratings are from a few watts to several thousand watts (lighthouse lamps; up to 10kW).
