Medium-pressure mercury lamp

{
  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-007140",
  "term": "Medium-pressure mercury lamp",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A gas discharge lamp that operates at higher mercury vapor pressures than low-pressure lamps, emitting a broader spectrum of ultraviolet and visible light. These lamps are characterized by their high intensity and continuous emission across a range of wavelengths. They are commonly used in industrial photochemistry, water purification, and curing applications.",
