Abstract
This paper deals with the main features of luminescence of interest to illuminating engineers. An account is given of the theoretical aspects of photoluminescence and the more important inorganic phosphors are mentioned. The factors which determine the luminous performance of both low and high pressure fluorescent lamps are discussed. Reference is made to a number of general matters concerned with luminescence, including the phenomena of electroluminescence.
