What light bulb uses less amount of energy?
compact flourescent light bulbs (cfl) the swirly ones
Why do your house light bulbs burn out fast?
So you will buy more bulbs. Try using the new flourescent bulbs for lights that need to be on for long periods of a day.
What advantages do flourescent light bulb's offer?
Flourescent light bulbs are 66% cheaper than normal light bulbs. They also last longer, as much as six times longer in fact due to fact that they tend to burn less after continuous time. Another advantage is they do not give off heat.
How much does a flourscent light bulb cost?
Flourescent light bulbs are approximately double the price of a standard bulb. There is an advantage to them though, they last longer and are more energy efficient.
What is the maximum voltage of incandescent light bulbs?
The maximum voltage of incandescent light bulbs is up to about three hundred volts. They can also go down as low as 1.5 volts. Incandescent light bulbs are the least efficient lighting system. More modern methods like flourescent lightbulbs are far more efficient.
What bulbs do not have filament And how do they light up?
Flourescent bulbs. They have no filament and they light up. They have argon gas and a small amount of mercury in them. When electricity is added, the argon and mercury atoms get excited and collide against each other and create light. The light is ultraviolet light and if the bulb is not coated inside with phosphorous, you have a black light.
What causes an emission line 777NM?
light from flourescent light bulbs causes emission lines and the gas inside the bulb is cold leading straps of colors to come into appearance through a telescope. -chakshu
Will the new energy saving light bulbs be economically friendlier than normal bulbs if it takes them longer to break down and how long does that usually take?
Energy saving light bulbs are economical to operate because they are flourescent tubes. Flourescent tubes put out more lumens than incandescent bulbs by a ratio of three to one. For instance, a 40 watt flourescent tube will put out the equivilent of 120 watts of light, yet only use 40 watts of electricity. A 120 watt incandescent lamp will require 120 watts of energy to put out the same amount of light. That's savings #1. Savings # 2 is that the flourescent lamps will last two to three times longer than the standard incandescent lamp, and as they become more readily available, we can expect to see the prices drop. The light from the energy savings bulbs seem to be about the same in color as an incandescent bulb, and they don't glare like the long cylindrical tubes do. I've switched over several lamps and plan to do more. Cheaper to run and last longer. In my mind, it's ecologically and economically sound. The one big drawback though, is that flourescent tubes usually use mercury in them so proper disposal needs to be taken into consideration.
Are light bulbs that contain Mercury dangerous in any way?
yes they are dangerous because mercury will melt easily
What are the benefits of using halogen bulbs?
"Halogen bulbs have a longer life and better illumination than incandescent bulbs. They are compact in size, and dimmable unlike flourescent bulbs. Halogen IR (infrared) bulbs use less electricity, also."
How do you light roads?
With Street Lighting and Flourescent Signs
