How bright is a flash of lighting?
Brighter than 100 million 100-watt light bulbs. For a split second it has more power the all the power stations in the USA put together.
What size ballast do you need for a 430 watt high pressure sodium bulb?
430 watt bulbs are made to juice a little more light from a standard 400 watt ballast. you get about 3-5000 more lumens. A typical 400 watt HPS produces about 50-55,000 lumens. The 430 will put out about 58,000. Not a lot, but a little extra without any increase in power usage.
Can you use a 60 watt compact fluorescent bulb in a 40 watt fixture?
It depends. A 60 watt CFL draws approximately 13 watts. So you could actually put a 125 watt CFL in as it only draws 30 watts. However most CFLs cannot be dimmed nor are CFLs recommended in harsh environments such as refrigerators or ovens. Also because the coils of a CFL get larger in diameter adn height as the brightness increases, some fixtures may be unable to accomodate a 60 watt CFL let alone a 125.
Can you put a 7 watt bulb in a 40 watt socket?
Yes if it fits. The 40 watts would be an upper limit.
Does a 100 watt bulb put out more light than a 25 watt bulb?
The higher the rated wattage of the bulb, the greater the luminous efficacy, which means you get more lumens per watt using a 120-watt bulb than using two 60-watt bulbs.Check the lumen ratings for the two 60 watt bulbs, and compare it with the lumen rating for the 120 watt bulb. That should give you the answer you seek. The 60 watt bulbs may give off a light that is more yellow than the 120 watt.A More AccurateIt depends upon the type of light bulbs used, and what you mean by "light". Incandescent light bulbs are very efficient at converting electricity into light, but unfortunately they emit most of that light in the infrared band, which humans cannot see. Therefore, we describe incandescent bulbs as being inefficient in terms of converting electricity into visible light.Generally, higher wattage incandescent light bulbs operate at higher temperatures, and they therefore emit a greater proportion of the light in the visible spectrum. Consequently it is common to say a 120 watt bulb emits more than twice the light of a 60 watt bulb. In truth, a 120 watt bulb emits almost exactly double the luminescent energy of a 60 watt bulb, but because the 120 watt emits a greater proportion of its energy in the visible spectrum, it is common to claim that the 120 watt bulb emits more than double the light of a 60 watt bulb.The situation changes considerably when talking about fluorescent and LED bulbs, which emit the majority of their luminescent energy in the visible spectrum. That is why they are so popular, because they use much less electrical energy to emit the same amount of visible light, compared to incandescent light bulbs. As a general rule, a 120 watt fluorescent or LED bulb will emit about twice the visible light as a 60 watt bulb.Watts is not a unit of light, but of power consumption. However, many people are familiar with the amount of light emitted from an incandescent lamp (bulb) of a given wattage, so that has become an unofficial way of expressing brightness. Many compact fluorescent packages are labeled with the incandescent wattage giving a similar light output.
4 250 mh bulbs 1 1000 watt mh ballast how to wire?
I would wire them together in a parellel circut. all the lights together, white to white black to black then put your ballast to em. it works like that with my 400 watt mh/hps ballast and 2 250 watt hps bulbs. run 2 hps bulbs with 2 mh bulbs if you can, you get better results.
How many lumens is equal to 5 watts?
There is no direct conversion . . . different types of lamp bulbs put out different amounts of light per watt.
Can you put a higher watt bulbs in lower watt ballast?
It is not a good idea to mix lamps and ballasts. Ballasts are designed to output a specific voltage for the lamp that it is designed to be used on. By suppressing a wrong voltage on a lamp can shorten its life expectancy by a good deal.
How can Compact Fluorescent Light Bulbs Benefits be maximized?
If you are not replacing all of your incandescent bulbs with CF bulbs, then some installations may be of more benefit than others. To maximize savings on operating costs, put them in light fixtures which stay on more than others. Put one in a fixture that's hard to reach; that way you won't have to change it as often. Do you have a fixture that has a maximum wattage rating of 60 watts (like many of the 'builder-grade' fixtures in my house)? Replace the 60 watt incandescent bulbs with 23w CF (100 watt 'light-equivalent') and you'll get more light into the room.

Why is a 5 watt bulb brighter than a 25 watt bulb?
It depends on the type of bulb. Incandescent bulbs convert about 90% of the energy into heat and and only 10% is put off as light. LEDs, for instance, are much more efficient, converting almost 90% of the input energy to light. So, a 5 watt LED will convert about 4.5 watts to light, while a 25 watt incandescent will only convert 2.5 watts into light.
How many lumens in an 8 watt LED bulb?
lumenicity (how much light something gives off) is not directly related to power. A 60 watt LED will give off more light than a 60 watt incandescent. You should check the manufacturers information. Light.com (first one to show up in my google search) specifies a 500 lumen 8 watt LED. the 52W incandescent "soft white" bulbs I have on many dimmers in my home put of 710 lumens as a comparison.
Can I put a UV bulb to power a lava lamp?
The dark black incandescent type UV bulbs will work as they actually get hotter than the equivalent standard incandescent bulb of the same wattage, but the compact fluorescent type UV bulbs run too cool.
