Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

High-intensity discharge lighting is the only type of lighting that produces light as a result of an electric arc. Resistive lighting uses a filament that emits light due to resistive heating, incandescent lighting uses a filament that emits light due to being heated by an electric current, and fluorescent lighting uses a gas that is ionized by an electric current to produce UV light, which then stimulates a phosphorescent coating to produce visible light.
