Can you use a 50 watt halogen bulb for a 100 watt halogen bulb?
Yes. It just won't be as bright.
How many lumens output in a 500 watt quartz Halogen bulb?
The bulb will have an efficacy of 17-20Lm per watt, so in total 500W = 8,500-10000 lumens. However, the bulbs light output is non directional, so a lot of the spilled light is in directions that you don't want it to go, so 50-70% of the figure can be used when specing up an LED variant.
What are Thomas Edison accomplishments?
Thomas Edison is famous for inventing the first long-lasting light bulb. Although he also invented the motion picture camera, the phonograph, and a lot of other great inventions. Thomas Edison's greatest challenge was the development of a practical incandescent, electric light. Contrary to popular belief, he didn't "invent" the lightbulb, but rather he improved upon a 50-year-old idea. In 1879, using lower current electricity, a small carbonized filament, and an improved vacuum inside the globe, he was able to produce a reliable, long-lasting source of light. So he said. Tesla worked for Thomas Alva Edison for 1 year At that time, the most important "inventor" in the world was named Thomas Alva Edison-the so-called wizard of Menlo Park.... Edison was credited with the invention of the DC dynamo and the electric light bulb . . . but the only thing he really invented was the ELECTRIC CHAIR!!
Will a diode work as a light dimmer when switched or added in series to an incandescent 120 volt AC bulb?
Actually, I have seen this in a respected electronics magazine (Elektor) quite some time ago: A diode (selected to be capable to handle the amps, the voltage and the heat from the bulb - if placed inside the lighting fixture) is used to "cut off" one half of the AC sine wave and thus sending pulses of 120V to an incandescent light bulb, simulating a simple dimming device. The proposal was meant to run 240V bulbs at 50% of their brightness but I am pretty certain this concept can be used to run 120V bulbs from 240V power. One other way of connecting 120V bulbs to 240V would be to connect two 120V bulbs OF THE SAME WATTAGE in SERIES, so the two bulbs form their own voltage divider. Not sure what happens if one bulb burns out - I would expect the other one to blow too, as a dying light bulb represents zero Ohms (plasma/arcing) for a few milliseconds before it goes dark forever.
What is microfarad?
Fifty millionths of a farad, abbreviated as 50 uF. Farad is the unit of capacitance. 50 microamps DC flowing for 1 second will charge a 50 uF capacitor to 1 volt.
What year did they make the light bulb?
1879 and was created by Thomas Edison. There was an idea of a light bulb for 50 years.
Is Watts light bulb OK for weed plant?
Can I use 50 watts light bulb for weed plant
How much does a light bulb weigh?
a lightbulb weighs about 50 grams
How hot does a 50 watt light bulb get?
This depends on the bulb design. A simple tungsten filament bulb might have a surface temperature of the bulb well above 100 C. A fluorescent lamp will be much cooler for the same light output.
A light bulb has a resistance of 5 ohms and a maximum current of 10 A. How much voltage can be applied before the bulb will break?
50-Voltage
Are cfls good?
Over all, CFL light bulbs are good for the environment and they can save $. 1 CFL light bulb has 10 times the life span of a regular light bulb. 1 CFL light bulb could save enough energy to take a car from NY to San Francisco. 1 CFL light bulb uses between 50% and 80% less energy than a regular light bulb.
What is fifty microfarads?
Fifty millionths of a farad, abbreviated as 50 uF. Farad is the unit of capacitance. 50 microamps DC flowing for 1 second will charge a 50 uF capacitor to 1 volt.
How much stronger is led than a regular light bulb?
50 times stronger from, Keshav
Why does energy saver give more light than electric bulb of same watt?
Both bulbs output the same amount of energy. The difference is in how much of that energy is output as heat vs the energy output as light. In a standard incandescent light bulb about 10% of the energy is output as light while the other 90% is output as heat. This makes the bulb only 10% efficient. For a florescent bulb the output of light is about 50% and the other 50% is output in heat. This means that a fluorescent bulb outputs five times as much light for the same wattage as a standard incandescent bulb, hence you can get the equivalent of 100 watts of light output for only 20 watts of electricity.
How do you build an incubator for chicks?
get a box. get a light bulb. the temperature=99 derees F humidity=50-60
How do you access the bulb in the collision avoidance light on a 96 Buick Regal 4 door?
I have been in the car repair business for over 50 years and this is the first time I have heard of this light. I would imagine it is the tail light and you have to get to the back of the light to change the bulb. If you can't get to it through the trunk, the light has to be removed.
Testing a power io DAA-6V100 solid state contactor?
Use a small light bulb, such as 25-50 watt. Connect 120 VAC power to the big L1 terminal. Connect the big T1 terminal to the light bulb. Connect the neutral to the light bulb. The light bulb will be OFF. Connect another 120 VAC wire to the control input terminal #3. Connect another neutral to the control input terminal #4. The light bulb will now be ON.
