Lamp (electrical Component) - Lamp Circuit Symbols

Lamp Circuit Symbols

In circuit diagrams lamps usually are shown as symbols. There are two main types of symbols, these are:

The cross in a circle, which usually represents a lamp as an indicator.
The semicircular dent in a circle, which usually represents a lamp as a source of light or illumination.

Famous quotes containing the words lamp, circuit and/or symbols:

    “Writing is to descend like a miner to the depths of the mine with a lamp on your forehead, a light whose dubious brightness falsifies everything, whose wick is in permanent danger of explosion, whose blinking illumination in the coal dust exhausts and corrodes your eyes.”
    —Blaise Cendrars (1887–1961)

    “We are all hostages, and we are all terrorists. This circuit has replaced that other one of masters and slaves, the dominating and the dominated, the exploiters and the exploited.... It is worse than the one it replaces, but at least it liberates us from liberal nostalgia and the ruses of history.”
    —Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)

    “Eloquence must be grounded on the plainest narrative. Afterwards, it may warm itself until it exhales symbols of every kind and color, speaks only through the most poetic forms; but first and last, it must still be at bottom a biblical statement of fact.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
