The term "electric lamp" is a general one. It refers to a slice of technology that produces light from electricity, and how it does this can vary. The two basic types of lamp are the incandescent type and the fluorescent type. There are other types, like a light emitting diode type, which is solid state kind, and a carbon arc lamp, but we usually use the term for the two common types mentioned. Sometimes we use the term to include the whole fixture. A table lamp might be referred to as an electric lamp in some cases. But as regards the "regular" usage, the lamp will work in one of two ways. In one, a resistive element which will heated by the electric current to the point of incandescence, where it will emit light. The filament gets really hot and glows, and you already know that this describes the incandescent lamp. In the fluorescent lamp, a gas-filled tube it electrified and the gas is ionized with the subsequent emission of light. This is the fluorescent lamp, and many of them are set up with secondary emission characteristics to increase and/or change the spectrum of light emitted.

No.
Edison invented the minor's safety lamp in the year 1914.
Lewis Latimer invented it, and he wrote a book with Thomas Edison.
The concept was first demonstrated by Sir Humphry Davy in the early 19th century
Lewis Howard Latimer invented a toilet system for railroad cars. He also invented an electric lamp using carbon filaments in light bulbs.
No.
The light bulb was originally called the "electric lamp" or the "incandescent lamp" when it was first developed by Thomas Edison.
When you turn on a lamp, electric energy is converted into light energy and heat energy. The electric current flowing through the lamp's filament generates heat, which in turn produces light.
the three primary products sold by U.S. electric lamp manufacturers are incandescent, fluorescent, and electric-discharge lights and bulbs.
A bulb in a lamp converts electric energy into light and heat energy.

Yes, a touch lamp can be converted to a regular electric lamp by replacing the touch-sensitive module with a regular on/off switch. This involves disconnecting the touch control system and wiring in a traditional switch for manual control of the lamp.
oil lamp
An arc lamp is a general term for a class of lamps that uses an electric arc or voltage arc to create light. You've seen the bright light given off by electric arc welding, and the idea of the electric arc is the principle behind an arc lamp.
spotlight, torch, electric lamp
Electric energy is converted into light and heat energy in an incandescent lamp. The electric current passing through the filament of the lamp heats it up, causing it to emit light as well as heat.
thomas Edison invented the electric lamp !!!no it was invented by a british scientist humphrey davies, Edison merely improved on his work, stupid American.
