Fig. 6-21 emit light having the spectral character of the inert gas with
which they are filled. The glow occurs around the negative electrode
where free electrons strike atoms of the gas and cause them to radiate.

Glow lamps will operate on alternating-current or direct-current circuits
at voltages as low as 70. Like other discharge lamps, glow lamps re-
quire a limiting resistance in series. In screw-base lamps this resistor is
incorporated in the base or in the bulb; in the case of bayonet-base
lamps, which are manufactured without a resistor, the proper resistance
must be supplied externally. The operating characteristics of several
typical glow lamps are given in Table 6-6.
