In addition to general lighting there are many uses for artificial light, which require a specially designed light or radiation source. Therefore mainly halogen lamps, short arc lamps, metal halide lamps and flash lamps are used.

The field of various forms of application is very wide: commerical film production, manufacture of semiconductors to medical technology.

PLANSEE supplies for halogen lamps:

• MY-ESS ribbon for conducting current at quartz glass lamps
• ML-wire/pins or ML/Ni-pins for power supply and conducting current
• Ribbons/wires made of Mo/Pt or Ta used as a welding aid
• WVM-core wire for infrared lamps

PLANSEE supplies for discharge lamps:

• Thoriated and doped W-electrodes
• W-porous cathodes (infiltrated if desired)
• MY-ESS ribbon for conducting current
• ML-wire/pins or ML/Ni-pins for power supply
• Ribbons/wires made of Mo/Pt or Ta used as a welding aid
