This Handbook is aimed mainly at Electrical Maintenance Technicians.

This advisory book sets out to explain the different Lamps and Lighting Systems that an Electrical Maintenance Technician may come across in a modern day Hazardous and Non Hazardous Area.

Most lamps that were ever invented are discussed, with the aid of write-ups and diagrams, along with the reasons why some of

them are being phased out. Hazards such as Mercury and other Toxins are discussed from very basic lamps of the past to modern LED lamps of today and why random disposal can be hazardous to the environment.
