If a naked flame was thus enclosed totally by such a gauze, then methane could pass into the lamp and burn safely above the flame. After the widespread introduction of the safety lamp, explosions continued because the early lamps were fragile and easily damaged. For example, the iron gauze on a Davy lamp only needed to lose one wire to become unsafe. The height of the cone of burning methane in a flame safety lamp can be used to estimate the concentration of the gas in the local atmosphere. The lamp gave out only a weak light though it was intrinsically safe provided it was kept upright. A safety lamp has to ensure that the triangle of fire is maintained inside the lamp, but cannot pass to the outside. Restrictions in the inlet ensure that only just enough air for combustion passes through the lamp. In the case of the gallery system air passes through a number of small holes into the gallery and through gauze to the lamp. There is no restriction on the air entering the lamp and so if firedamp is entrained it will burn within the lamp itself.

Air is drawn in and descends just inside the glass, passing up through the flame in the centre of the lamp.

Operating an LED lamp in conditions that increase the internal temperature can greatly shorten the lamp's life. A discharge lamp has a glass or silica envelope containing two metal electrodes separated by a gas. After the arc is struck, the internal resistance of the lamp drops to a low level, and the ballast limits the current to the operating current. Without a ballast, excess current would flow, causing rapid destruction of the lamp.

The bulb is then inserted into the lamp base, and the whole assembly tested. Since tantalum metal has a lower resistivity than carbon, the tantalum lamp filament was quite long and required multiple internal supports. In a conventional lamp, the evaporated tungsten eventually condenses on the inner surface of the glass envelope, darkening it. A very small amount of water vapor inside a light bulb can significantly affect lamp darkening. The oxygen attacks the tungsten metal, and the resulting tungsten oxide particles travel to cooler parts of the lamp. They provided the intense concentrated light of an arc lamp but were easier to operate. Most lamps have metal bases that fit in a socket to support the lamp and conduct current to the filament wires.
