Electric lamps are devices that produce light using electricity. They come in various types, including incandescent, fluorescent, and LED lamps. Each type has different energy efficiency, brightness, and lifespan characteristics. Electric lamps are commonly used in homes, offices, and public spaces to provide illumination. The basic components of an electric lamp include a light source, such as a filament or diode, and a power supply. When electricity flows through the lamp, it generates light. Electric lamps have largely replaced traditional lighting methods, such as candles and gas lamps, due to their convenience and efficiency.
