Light distribution refers to the pattern in which light is emitted and spread out from a lighting fixture or source. It describes how the light is dispersed across a specific area or space, determining the directionality, intensity, and coverage of the light.

A can light, also known as a recessed light or downlight, is a type of lighting fixture that is installed into an opening in a ceiling.

A magnetic ballast, also known as a choke, is an electrical power regulator used specifically in fluorescent light systems. It operates based on the principles of electromagnetism, where an electrical current passing through a wire generates a magnetic force around itself.

Monochromatic light is electromagnetic radiation that consists of a single wavelength or a very narrow range of wavelengths. This means that monochromatic light is composed of only one color or hue.

A lamp refers to both a light source and a light fixture that includes the bulb. This can cause confusion as the term is often used interchangeably with other lighting terms.

A discharge bulb, also known as an electric discharge lamp or gas-discharge lamp, is a type of lighting device used in high-intensity discharge (HID) lighting systems.

A medium base bulb, also known as an E26 socket, is a standard light bulb commonly used in residential settings. It is characterized by its threaded brass base, which is referred to as the medium base.

Rated lamp life refers to the estimated operational lifespan of a specific type of lamp or light source. It is a reliability property that indicates how long a lamp is expected to function before it fails or depreciates in performance.

Task lighting describes a specific type of lighting that is designed to provide focused and targeted illumination for a particular task or activity.

A transparent material is a substance that allows light to pass through it with minimal obstruction or scattering. It is characterized by its see-through and clear properties, enabling the clear visibility of objects on the other side.
