The incandescent lamp is an electric light fixture with a tungsten filament heated to a high temperature, by passing an electric current through it, until it glows with visible light. The hot filament is protected from oxidation with a glass bulb that is filled with inert gas. The incandescent lamp has fire risk when combustible materials are close to its glass bulb. Because its lamp has the property which converts 90~95 percents of the electric power to heat energy. 2015 national fire statistics show that fires caused by lighting fixtures were 652 cases, and incandescent lamps(44 cases) and halogen lamps(53 cases) accounted for 15 percents in those of high heating light fixtures. Since incandescent lamp fires account for about 45 percents in the high heating light fixture, we could not overlook the fire risks by the incandescent lamp. Although many studies related with those have been conducted, incandescent lamp fires are continuously occurred. This study was carried out to study the fire risk of ignition of wood due to radiant heat of incandescent lamp. Radiant heat flux of the incandescent lamp was predicted by applying point source model, and critical distance for ignition of wood was calculated by applying integral model. The results from this study could applied to fire prevention activities related to light bulb, and it could be used in fire cause investigations related to radiant heat of incandescent lamp.

In this paper, we are studied on the temperature characteristics and fire progress of an incandescent electric lamp at 220V/100W. In the case of stationary state, the ignition possibility of the incandescent electric lamp due to the heat generation was low because the temperature was measured at $161.9^{\circ}C$ the temperature was increased at $538.1^{\circ}C$ in the airtight chamber, but it does not generated the fire because the oxygen was not exist in the airtight chamber. When the lamp is broken, the filament of lamp was melted in the air. The gas of lamp interior spurted to the weakest part by external flame. Thus, the incandescent electric lamp is high possibility of fire when oxygens from airtight space. Also, it is known that the possibility of ignition is very high if combustion materials(sawdust) exists on surrounding. These experimental results will be utilized for the data in the investigation electrical fire cause.

Technology for electric lighting has been evolving from Incandescent Lamp(IL) through Fluorescent Lamp(FL) and currently to Solid State Lighting(SSL) such as LED for more than 130 years of time. However, it took more than 100 years until the transition from IL to FL across overall society. That is because the transition is the Socio-Technical Transition(STT) which involves various social elements. This study investigated and analyzed the theories regarding STT, and applied the Multi-Level Perspective(MLP) theory to the case of electric lighting. A qualitative contents analysis was used with secondary data as research method, and the analyzed result was visualized based on the frame of MLP theory. The STT of electric lighting from IL to FL took place as the order of Technical Niche, Socio-Technical Regime and Landscape. Specifically, in Technical Niche level: Establishing Market Niche, Price-Performance Improvement, Learning Process and Support of Powerful Group took place. In Socio-Technical Regime level: Changes in Social Network, Changes in Technology and Changes in Rules. In Landscape level: Macro-Political Development, Socio-Economic Trends and Macro-Economic Trends took place in consecutive order.

A high light lantern system using LEDs is composed of power supply, flash controller, and daylight controller and proper case considering work condition. The performance of developed LED lantern is better than that of the existing marine lantern using an incandescent electric lamp and that of foreign products(Vega LED lantern made in New Zealand, Tideland system made in America). The electric consumption of our products is 30% compared with that of existing marine lantern using an incandescent electric lamp, and the luminous Intensity of them is 200% to 400% compared with that of existing marine lantern and foreign LED lantern. In addition, our LED lantern system is easy to repairing something wrong and changing the LED module and other controllers on the sea when they are in accident.

The Study is for improvement of power plant equipment environment. Emergency lamp already installed In transformer substations has weak Illuminance. Because emergency battery is limited and incandescent electric lamps installed has low intensity of illumination and bad efficiency. It is too dark to operate many types of equipment in work Therefore this paper proposes that we use fluorescent lamp instead of incandescent electric lamp and change the old illumination standard for evident standard from the can coup with accident rapidly.

This paper dealt with the detection algorithm of series arcing, which is a cause of electric fires in low-voltage wiring systems. To find the distinguished electrical features of series arc, we simulated series arcing by the arc generator specified in UL1699. An electric heater, an inverter-controlled vacuum cleaner, and a phase-controlled incandescent lamp were used as loads to generate series arcing. A high-pass filter (HPF) with the low cut-off frequency of 3 kHz at -3 dB was fabricated and applied to separate the series arc signal from the AC voltage source. The experiment showed that the high frequency signal generates randomly during series arcing, and the phase-controlled incandescent lamp produces high frequency pulses even in normal state. In this case, the magnitude, the width, and the randomness of high frequency signal should be analyzed to estimate series arcing precisely.

The history of illumination has been much long since the discovery of lamplight caused huge changes in human lives. However, the swift development of the illumination actually started with the invention of a carbon filament lamp by Thomas Edison in 1878. Generally, the illumination tools plays important roles in human lives such as reduction of fatigue, improvement of safety and working efficiency, and the creation of enjoyable atmosphere. But, the illumination tools can be an origin of the fire due to carelessness and lack of management. In this study, the principle and structure of the illumination lamp were dealt with. The possibility of the fire outbreak caused by the incandescent lamp and fluorescent lamp most used in home was investigated. The examples of the fire outbreaks by the incandescent and fluorescent lamps and by the contact between the inflammable materials and the distributing wires were mentioned and demonstrated by the experimental.
