Talk:Lamp (electrical component)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The recent move of this page from lamp to light bulb had created a bit of a problem. While "lamp" is indeed a technical name for a "light bulb", the former is a broader term than the latter. "Lamps" in the technical sense include incandescent, fluorescent, gas discharge, and LED modules. Only the first of these is really correctly described as a "light bulb", and there is already an article on that: Incandescent light bulb. I have therefore moved the article to Lamp (electrical component), which I think better describes the contents. I have adjusted the intro to suit the new name and role, and to reduce duplication with Incandescent light bulb.--Srleffler 06:26, 17 April 2006 (UTC)
