What is the difference between fluorescent and phosphorescent lights bulbs?
Fluoresent light bulbs are run using electricity.. phosphorescentlight are not,, they have particles inside that absorb from light sources of any kind and store it away to be used , that's why they are not glowing all the time.
How does a florecent light bulb save energy?
I think you meant "use less energy" rather than "saves less energy"...Incandescent light bulbs generate light by heating a filament until it glows brightly. A great deal of energy is lost as heat and only a little energy is converted to visible light.Fluorescent light bulbs (whether "compact" or not) generate light by exciting the atoms in the phosphor coating on the inside of the bulb. This is more efficient, as there is less heat generated, so less electricity is needed to produce the same amount of light.LED lights are even more efficient than fluorescent, but they are still rather expensive for general lighting.
Why do you use compact fluorescent lamps instead of incandescent bulbs?
A compact fluorescent lamp or CFL has the advantage of consuming less power.It works in the same way as a fluorescent tube light however it is made in a much more compact shape. This means CFLs can be used to replace ordinary light bulbs which have incandescent filaments.If you replace your ordinary light bulbs with CFLs they will use only 20% (one fifth) of the energy to give you the same amount of light output.More informationEnergy-saving lamps, such as normal and compact fluorescents, save a lot of money compared to normal lamps which have an incandescent filament because of the fact that fluorescents don't use a high-temperature filament that produces more heat energy than light energy.Mainly because they run "cool", a fluorescent lamp uses only about one fifth - 1/5 - of the electrical energy used by a lamp that has a hot, incandescent filament.Put another way, you can use five fluorescent lamps, each giving out the same amount of light as one incandescent, for only the same total electricity running costs.Another good thing about fluorescent lamps is that they have a useful life that is between 5 and 10 times longer than an incandescent lamp, saving even more money over a period of years.
What does earth hour help?
it saves electricity
How many times do you need to replace energy efficient fluorescent light bulbs?
comparing to the traditional light bulbs energy efficient fluorescent light bulbs uses 25% to 75% energy and saves money also and it lasts up to 3 to 25 times long so there is no need to replace energy efficient fluorescent light bulbs often.
I have a car showroom I use a lot of lighting in my showroom but due to heavy electricity bill and environmental consciousness I want to know about how to save electricity?
If you are using the ordinary incandescent bulb then you should firstly replace all your lights with energy saving bulbs like CFL, LED and Halogen. They saves a large amount of energy and electricity bills and are also eco-friendly. But when you buy these bulbs better look for Energy Star rated lights because they saves energy more effectively. dont keep any electric equipments in standby mode, they also consumes energy.
Is it a myth that leaving compact fluorescent lamps on rather than switching them off and on when needed uses more energy and is worse for the environment?
Leaving the lamps on 24/7 uses more energy than turning them on only when needed. It is equally true to say: A) It is not a myth that leaving incandescent filament lamps on 24/7, rather than switching them off and on when needed, uses more energy and is therefore worse for the environment. B) Using incandescent filament lamps instead of compact fluorescent lamps always uses more energy and is therefore worse for the environment. This remains true whether they are left on 24/7 or switched on and off when needed. If you switch the light off and on once each minute (or less), then there might be a case for leaving them on. Not only will they last longer, but the power lost to get them up to temperature will be reduced.
Why are solar screens popular?
because it saves energy by not using electricity
Doing things over the internet saves paper which in turn saves trees but it uses electricity so is it really more efficient?
no
How does recycling help save electricity?
It saves the electricity of manufacturing a completely new product which, although uses electricity, only uses a fraction of the electricity and fuels needed to make completely new products. This way it also saves on fossil fuels by making less products being imported from abroad. Hope this helped! :)
What are the benefits of viewing your electricity bill online?
THere are several benefits to viewing your electricity bill online. It saves paper and money on postal delivery, saves trees, and you can view it as soon as it is completed, instead of waiting for it to come in the mail.
