Incandescent lamps have been used for more than 100 years and still dominate the market in general lighting.

PLANSEE USA supplies:

• Mo-redrawing and filament wires for the manufacture of the support and core wires in incandescent lamps

Halogen Lamps

Halogen lamps are becoming increasingly popular for interior and exterior lighting applications due to their superior luminous efficiency. By maximizing the conversion of electrical energy into light, they use only a fraction of the power required by a conventional bulb.

PLANSEE USA supplies:

• MY-ESS ribbon for conducting current
• ML-wire/pins or ML/Ni-pins for power supply
• Ribbons/wires made of Mo/Pf or Ta used as a welding aid

High-Density Discharge Lamps

These lamps are used wherever compact light sources with a high output, high luminous efficiency and a long operating life are required.
The main application areas for high-intensity discharge lamps are lighting for roads, outdoor areas and industrial sites, stadium and hall lighting, shop window lighting and interior lighting. 

PLANSEE USA supplies:

• WVM-electrodes for the flow of electrons
• MY-ESS ribbon for conducting current
• ML-wire/pins for power supply and for securing the inner parts of the bulb
• Ribbons/wires made of Mo/Pf or Ta used as a welding aid
• Pins for conducting current made of Ni/W/Ni
