Abstract :
Gaseous-conductor lamps are finding a wide field of application in advertising and display lighting. A brief discussion of the theory of the high-voltage type is included. The electrical characteristics of typical high-voltage lamps were investigated by the use of indicating instruments, Duddell and cathode ray oscillographs. Characteristic curves, data, and oscillograms are given. Power-factor improvement was studied and data covering two methods of correction are included.
