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:

    As one lamp lights another, nor grows less,
    So nobleness enkindleth nobleness.
    James Russell Lowell (1819–1891)

    Within the circuit of this plodding life
    There enter moments of an azure hue,
    Untarnished fair as is the violet
    Or anemone, when the spring strews them
    By some meandering rivulet, which make
    The best philosophy untrue that aims
    But to console man for his grievances.
    I have remembered when the winter came,
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    The use of symbols has a certain power of emancipation and exhilaration for all men. We seem to be touched by a wand, which makes us dance and run about happily, like children. We are like persons who come out of a cave or cellar into the open air. This is the effect on us of tropes, fables, oracles, and all poetic forms. Poets are thus liberating gods.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
