Incandescent lamps have been used for more than 100 years and still dominate the market in general lighting.

PLANSEE supplies:

• Mo-redrawing and filament wires for the manufacture of the support and core wires in incandescent lamps

Halogen Lamps

Halogen lamps are being used increasingly for interior and exterior lighting owing to their better luminous efficiency. By maximizing the conversion of electrical energy into light they use only a fraction of the power of a comparable conventional bulb.

PLANSEE supplies:

• MY-ESS ribbon for conducting current
• ML-wire/pins or ML/Ni-pins for power supply
• Ribbons/wires made of Mo/Pf or Ta used as a welding aid

High-Density Discharge Lamps

They are used wherever compact light sources with high output, high luminous efficiency and a long operating life are required.

The main application areas for high-density discharge lamps are in lighting for roads,  outdoor areas and industry, stadium and hall lighting, shop window lighting and interior lighting. 

PLANSEE supplies:

• WVM-electrodes for the flow of electrons
• MY-ESS ribbon for conducting current
• ML-wire/pins for power supply and locating the inner bulb
• Ribbons/wires made of Mo/Pf or Ta used as a welding aid
• Pins for conducting current made of Ni/W/Ni
