Table lamp can ignite paper towel? Several experiments to verify

According to the Mianyang Evening News reported that the lamp is a common household lighting tools, many people like to put a lamp on the desk and bedside table. Recently, there are rumors on the Internet, the lamp bulb can ignite paper towels 30 seconds, when the book and paper towels and desk lamp contact, the higher the risk factor. This argument fly it? Recently, the reporter through a set of experiments to verify.

Experiment 1 3W energy-saving lamp (spiral structure)

Will be a power of 3W energy-saving lamps (spiral structure) installed on the table lamp lit. A paper towel will be placed on the bulb, a minute later, the paper does not change. Taking into account the possibility of lighting time is too short, then, the reporter continued to shine for 15 minutes, and then put the paper towel on the above observation, still can not ignite paper towels.

Experiment two 3W bulb

This time the experiment, the reporter in the installation of a good shot after the lamp, the lamp up, and then half a piece of paper covered in the light bulb. After 5 minutes to see, only feel more hot paper towels, but there is no burning taste. 15 minutes later, the paper towel changed little. But when the light bulb, obviously feel some hot.

Experiment three 40W sand ball bubble lamp

Unlike the first two, the 40W bulb is made of yellow light. Reporters also covered with a piece of paper towels on the light bulb, 3 minutes later, the paper center slowly turn yellow and black, and can smell a significant burning taste. 5 minutes later, a small hole in the middle of the paper, and a small black smoke. 10 minutes later, there is smoke coming out, the smell of burning paper is more and more obvious. 15 minutes later, the paper has been made and broken. There is no fire in the whole process. At the end of the experiment, the metal lampshade became hot.

Experiment four 95W incandescent lamp

95W incandescent lamp, the brightness of the previous three kinds of light bulb is much stronger. A few seconds after the paper was put on, there was a black smoke. 2 minutes later, the tissue and the bulb became brown and seemed to be roasting. After 10 minutes, turn brown tissue larger area, but still not been lit.

Analysis of the table around the book carefully put paper

The Northwest Sichuan lighting market staff Mr. Pu said he had heard about the things that ignited the bulb, "for example, the incandescent lamp is easy to produce high temperature continuous light, if more than one hour, hands are not touching. If the light is lit for a long time, the bulb surface temperature will be higher. "

Mr. Pu told reporters, life we often use the lamp is divided into three kinds: incandescent lamp, energy saving lamp, LED lamp. In principle, ordinary incandescent lamp directly converts electrical energy into light and heat energy, energy-saving lamp is in the electronic potential under the action of the function of the fluorescent powder to emit light to achieve the purpose of lighting, and the LED lamp is through the light emitting diode will electric energy into light energy. As far as the performance is concerned, the incandescent lamp is not only easy to use, but also easy to heat. The energy saving lamps and LED lamps are both energy saving and relatively safe, while the performance of the LED lamp is better.

Reporters in the online inquiry learned that in the normal condition, the surface temperature of the incandescent lamp is 180 degrees Celsius, the surface temperature of energy-saving lamps up to 100 DEG C, LED lamp surface temperature up to 60 DEG C, and paper, cotton, wood, hemp, grass burning in general between 130 and 250 DEG C, the most do not stack paper, books on the desk lamp and other items around.

How to choose a table lamp

Table lamp as a family life and school supplies, the use of the security risks are not easy to be ignored. So what do we choose to pay attention to? In this regard, Mr. Pu said, buy Lamps, in addition to life and brightness of products, should also pay attention to safety, do not covet cheap and shoddy products to buy more of the. The lamp is best not to use incandescent lamp and incandescent lamp bulb is higher than that of 40W, and high wattage bulbs to produce high temperature in plastic lampshade is prone to danger.

Need to be reminded that, before leaving the desk and go to bed before the best off the table lamp, to avoid the incandescent lamp baking long term flammable. At the same time, do not touch the table lamp directly by hand. If the iron table lamp, after a long period of time, the iron lampshade will become hot, especially to be careful.
