electric lamps
Plugged-in light sources
Electric lamps are devices that produce light using electrical energy rather than combustion.
The term covers everything from incandescent bulbs to fluorescent tubes to LEDs.
Before widespread electrification, lamps burned oil, gas, or candles; electric lamps eliminated open flames and their hazards.
The factory switched from gas to electric lamps in 1910.
