Fluorescence
Fluorescence is the emission of light by a substance that has absorbed light or
other electromagnetic radiation. It is a form of luminescence. In most cases, the emitted light
has a longer wavelength, and therefore lower energy, than the absorbed radiation.

Ultraviolet
Ultraviolet (UV) is an electromagnetic radiation with a wavelength from 10 nm to 400 nm,
shorter than that of visible light but longer than X-rays. UV radiation constitutes about 10% of
the total light output of the Sun, and is thus present in sunlight.

Phosphor
A phosphor, most generally, is a substance that exhibits the phenomenon of luminescence.
Somewhat confusingly, this includes both phosphorescent materials, which show a slow decay
in brightness (> 1 ms), and fluorescent materials, where the emission decay takes place over
tens of nanoseconds.

Ballast
Ballast is material that is used to provide stability to a vehicle or structure. Ballast, other
than cargo, may be placed in a vehicle, often a ship or the gondola of a balloon or airship, to
provide stability.

Filament
a conducting wire or thread with a high melting point, forming part of an electric bulb or vacuum
tube and heated or made incandescent by an electric current.

Electric current
An electric current is a flow of electric charge.[1]:2 In electric circuits this charge is often carried
by moving electrons in a wire. It can also be carried by ions in an electrolyte, or by both ions and
electrons such as in an ionised gas (plasma).[2

Mercury
the chemical element of atomic number 80, a heavy silvery-white metal that is liquid at

ordinary temperatures .
Tungsten
Tungsten, or wolfram, is a chemical element with symbol W and atomic
[7][8]

number 74. The name tungsten comes from the former Swedish name for
the tungstate mineral scheelite, from tung sten "heavy stone".
