How often do fluorescent lights have to be changed?

Depending on the size of the light and how it is used, a fluorescent light can have a lifespan of anywhere from 8,000 to 30,000 hours. Fluorescent lights tend to lose their brightness over time, so it is recommended to change the light bulb before it burns out completely.


In one type of Christmas tree lights all bulbs go out when one is defective explain why?

These types of lights are known as series connected. The same current flows through all of the bulbs in the circuit. If one of the bulb filaments burns open then all of the lamps will go out.


Why does the string of lights go out if 1 goes out?

This type of circuit is called a series circuit. Each bulb becomes a part of the circuit and if one burns out or is removed the circuit is open and electricity no longer flows through it. If you draw a circle and mark an 'x' on its rim and call that the power source. The electricity flows out and through each light and back to the source. If you erase a part of the circle, to represent a blown bulb, the circuit is broken and the electricity does not flow.


What does the name burns mean?

Burns means 'Son Of Byrne'.


Why domestic gas burns with a blue flame?

The hotter a hydrocarbon gas burns, the bluer the flame. An orange flame indicates a cool flame with incomplete combustion since soot (unburnt carbon) glows orange. Hydrogen gas burns so completely and so hot that it emits light in the ultraviolet. You cannot see a hydrogen gas flame. Alcohol fires, similarly, tend to burn very efficiently and are nearly invisible--as anybody who watches NASCAR races knows.

What can you infer about whether or not your house lights are connected in series or parallel?

House lights are wired in parallel. If they were in series, when one burned out, all would. Christmas lights are wired in a combination of series and parallel - roughly 50 lights in each series string. that's why if one bulb burns out, a section of the lights goes out.


Where can you find a series circuit?

A lamp A fan and a bunch of other thingsAnswerThe classic example of a series circuit is a string of Christmas-tree lights. They are connected in series if, when one lamp burns out, all the lights go out.


What is the difference between series and parallel Christmas lights?

With series Christmas lights, if one burns out, the whole string stops working. With parallel Christmas lights one light burning out only affects that light. This makes it much easier to replace burned out lights in the case of the parallel lights.


Which charcoal lights the fastest?

Match Lite charcoal lights quickly and burns good.


Are the lights in your school connected in series current or parallel current?

Overhead lights are typically connected in parallel. If they were connected in series, then, if one light went out, all of the lights would go out. Think of Christmas lights, they are connected in series. When one of the lights burns out, the whole string of lights goes out.


What happens if a Christmas light connected in series burns out?

If they are connected in series if one light burns out, the whole string turns off.


Why should Christmas lights be parellel not series?

Because if one light burns out, all the lights will go out.

Why do sodium lights glow yellow?

If one light goes out on a series-parallel connected string do they all go out?

If one light goes out on a series-parallel connected string, all of the lights in that particular series string will go out. The other parallel strings will not be affected. If you are asking about Christmas tree lights, please note that most modern low voltage bulb designs make the bulb short out, rather than open, when the filament burns out. This keeps the other bulbs in that series string on, although they now have more power and are more likely to also burn out.


What is the difference of a series circuit or a parallel circuit?

Basically, a series circuit is like a string of Christmas lights. There is a single path for an electrical current to run along. Along that string is a consecutive line of "resistors" (in this case, a light-bulb) through which the electricity has to pass. If one of these resistors breaks down, the electricity can no longer pass through and any resistor beyond the one that broke down no longer has power to turn it on. On a string of Christmas lights, if one little bulb goes out, it blocks the electricity for all of the lights beyond it. All of the lights are connected to the power source by the SAME path. A parallel circuit, on the other hand, is like the lights in your house. If one burns out, all of the others still stay on, right? This is because all of the lights are connected to the same power source, but by DIFFERENT paths. So even if one light burns out, it's separate from the other ones and so it doesn't affect it. This is the difference between series and parallel. In series, they are all connected to the same power source by the same path, with parallel it's the same power source, but by a different path.


What is the point in yoyo gloves?

The point of yoyo gloves is to protect your hand from string burns and to create a smoother slide for the string. It also stops the build up of grease and dirt on your hands going onto your string.
