Lamp / Bulb

Turns live current into light — and the perfect first circuit to understand the live/neutral path.

Terminals
  • Live screw / centre contact
  • Neutral / phase return (bayonet or edison)
  • Earth (metallic fittings only)
  • Filament / chip — the light source
  • Glass envelope — shape and gas atmosphere
  • Cap / base — bayonet (B22) or Edison screw (E27)
  • Centre contact + outer thread — live and neutral lands
⚡ Meet it in a circuit
⚠ Safety note

Never touch the glass of a hot halogen with bare fingers — skin oil creates hot spots that crack it. Match the wattage to the fixture's label.
