it can't


Why does your fluresant light not work after you installed a ballast?

Do you have the right ballast for the type of lamps you are using? Check on the nameplate of the ballast to see it matches with the type of tubes you are using. Are the tubes snug in the lamp holders? Is the fluorescent fixture grounded using the fixture ground screw? Do you have voltage to the ballast? On most lamp start ups you can see the lamp filament glow on each end of the tube. If you don't see the filament glow on any of the tube ends, check the wires going to that lamp holder.


Can you replace t8 bulb in fixture now using t12 bulb?

Yes a T12 lamp socket will take a T8 tube. The T8 tube will not operate. The T8 ballast is an electronic ballast where as the T12 ballast is a magnetic type. If you are changing over fluorescent fixtures to the smaller T8 lamps then the ballast has to be changed and the end sockets have to be rewired. The schematic on how to do the rewire is on the electronic ballast's label.

Can an overhead 400W light with built in ballast that is currently wired to use 480V be rewired to use 120V?

Only if the ballast is a multi tap ballast.:Even if you could install a 120V ballast, or tap it to 120V with the existing one, Current may become an issue. To run the 400W light (sodium?) Now instead of the .833 amp range it's more like 3.33 amps. Supply wiring would have to be able to handle that. Those types of lights are often on long runs to building and grounds lights, parking lots, etc. Using 480 saves a lot on wiring costs.

Why do the colors split up in the spectrum?

White light can be split up into lots of different coloured light waves using a prism. We call this range of colours the visible spectrum.


How can you observe the spectrum in the lab?

You can split white light using a prism or a diffraction grating.

What did Isacc newton do for color and light?

Isaac newton was the first one to split white light into its colours using a glass block !

What is a ballasting?

A ballasting is any agent which is used for steadying something, for using it as ballast.


How can you find out if your fluorescent lights are using too many amps?

The amperage is printed on the ballast. If your meter reads higher that that what is printed there, then the ballast is drawing more amps that it should.


What does the ballast do in a fluorescent light fixture?

Electronic Ballast plays a important part in lights.We need a Ballast Tester to test the electronic ballast performance of a fluorescent light fixture. This is a basic process that can be accomplished quickly once you understand the operation of the high voltage transformer. The high voltage transformer is also encased in an oil bath that reduces the heat created by the action of the transformer. A low voltage, generally 120 VAC, is transformed into a high voltage, generally in thousands of volts. There must be a continuity between the wires of the high voltage side in order for the circuit to operate correctly. Heat can damaged the internal connections of the ballast. By using a volt ohmmeter the internal circuit can be quickly checked. Not only in the voltage, but also in the current and others factors.
