What is the strip of material that glows in a light bulb called?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The strip of material that glows inside a light bulb is called the filament. It is usually made of tungsten and emits light when an electric current passes through it, heating it to a high temperature, causing it to glow and produce visible light. The filament is a crucial component in incandescent light bulbs, which have been widely used for many years, although more energy-efficient lighting technologies, such as LED (Light Emitting Diode) bulbs, are becoming increasingly popular

Once started the fluorescent tube no longer needs the starter. In fact starters are designed to electrically "remove" themselves from the circuit when the fluorescent tube is conducting.

How do you change a light bulb in a ceiling fan?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Most ceiling fans have exposed light bulbs that area easily removed by turning the cool bulb counterclockwise.

The replacement bulb for a ceiling fan has a standard base, but the globe is a bit smaller than standard. These smaller bulbs are often stocked with the ceiling fans at your local appliance department or appliance store.

Be sure to get the same wattage replacement bulb.

Installing the bulb is just like any other lamp bulb. Screw in clockwise.

What do you do with crocus bulbs after they have bloomed?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Once the petals of a tulip are no longer attractive, it's a good idea to break the stem off, so that the plant's efforts can concentrate on replenishing the bulb.

Over time, the leaves will begin to yellow, at which time they can be cut back. If you cut back the leaves too soon, you remove the bulb's source of energy and nutrients, so the bulb's development for the next blooming season can be compromised.

You can leave tulip bulbs in the ground over the winter, which cools them.

How much does it cost to run a light bulb?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It depends on the bulb, how many watts it is.

All bulbs are marked with the correct voltage and the power taken, in watts. You multiply the watts by the number of hours to find the watt-hours of energy used. Then divide by 1000 to find the kilowatt-hours. A kilowatt-hour is also called a unit and you pay about £0.15 for a unit of electricity.

Let's say it's a 100 watt bulb running for 24 hours. That uses 2400 watt-hours or 2.4 kilowatt-hours, which costs about 2.4 x £0.15 which is £0.36.

How much less energy do LEDs use Compared to incandescent bulb?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The average retail price of 5-watt LED bulbs replacing the traditional 60-watt incandescent bulb is 18.9 U.S. dollars (about 118.9 yuan), the average life is approximately 50,000 hours, if residential electricity price is 0.61 yuan / watt basis in first-tier cities, using 50,000 hours LED light to maintain the use of lighting costs is about 270 yuan. The 60-watt incandescent cost about $ 3, the average life span is only 1,500 hours available, calculated according to the same conditions, the use of incandescent lamps cost about 1,932 yuan. Always 24 hours; ordinary fluorescent lifetime is 3000, LED lamp life is 50,000 hours; we use LED tube to make a comparison of traditional lighting effect:

Name the LED tube traditional lighting

Power 9W 34W

Lighting price 200 yuan 10 yuan / support, bracket is 20yuan

50,000 hours 1 pcs LED tube 15.7 pcs lamps and bracket

electricity consuming 450 kwh 1700 kwh

total cost 650 yuan 1877 yuan

The average annual cost 114 yuan 331 yuan

The average annual cost 217 yuan savings

Energy-saving lamps and incandescent lamps will certainly be replaced by LED lights.
