What else can I help you with?
Can one replace a tungsten bulb with a compact fluorescent bulb?
Yes, if it fits the socket and the light fitting, or lamp fixture, with its cover or shade. You will not be able to dim the compact fluorescent as you did the incandescent (unless you have a really fancy dimmer).
What type of light is a 20 watt energy saving bulb Halogen Incandescent neon or fluorescent?
A 20 watt incandesent bulb is dim. For a medium sized room you need 100 watts. A 20 watt halogen bulb is brighter but still quite dim. These are marketed as low-energy but they are not. For a medium sized room you need 80 watts. A 20 watt fluorescent bulb can light a medium sized room quite brightly. This is a genuine low energy bulb.
Why do dimmer lights not dim?
probably you have wired it wrong so look at the wiring diagram that is supplied with the dimmer switch and make sure your wiring matches................or..............................you have a energy saving bulb connected whih do not like to dim they will flicker
Can tinted window film be attached safely to fluorescent ceiling light cover to dim light?
It is not recommended to attach tinted window film to a fluorescent ceiling light cover to dim the light. The film can melt or cause a fire hazard due to the heat emitted by the light. It is safer to use light dimmers or different light bulbs to adjust the brightness.
What happens to a non dimmable lamp if used on a dimmer?
If you use a non-dimmable Compact Fluorescent Lamp (CFL) in a circuit controlled by a dimmer switch no damage will be done but the CFL will stay bright when the dimmer is turned down whilst any other normal incandescent lamps wired into the same circuit will go dim in the normal way.Dimmable Compact Fluorescent Lamps are now available, for example in the Megaman range of CFLs. For more information see the Related Link shown below.Incandescent dimming uses any incandescent lamps and an incandescent dimmer.To dim fluorescent lamps usually requires use of fluorescent dimmers AND fluorescent dimmable ballasts. If these two components do not match, dimming will not work.The fluorescent lamps themselves are the same whether you put them in a standard (nondimming) ballast or a dimmable ballast.If your dimmers are not dimming the CFLs they are either not fluorescent dimmers or, more likely, your ballast in the light fixture is not a dimmable ballast.
Why do fluorescent lights flicker?
Fluorescent lights flicker because the electric current flowing through the bulb fluctuates, causing the light to dim and brighten rapidly. This can be due to issues with the ballast, the starter, or the bulb itself.
How can I test a fluorescent bulb to determine if it is functioning properly?
To test a fluorescent bulb, simply turn it on and observe if it lights up evenly without flickering or dim areas. If the bulb does not light up or has flickering/dimming issues, it may need to be replaced.

How can I determine if a fluorescent bulb or ballast is bad?
To determine if a fluorescent bulb or ballast is bad, you can start by checking if the bulb is flickering, dim, or not turning on. If the bulb looks blackened or has dark spots, it may be faulty. You can also test the ballast with a multimeter to see if it is providing the correct voltage. If these steps don't solve the issue, it's best to consult a professional for further assistance.
How can I dim a fluorescent light?
You can dim a fluorescent light by using a dimmable ballast or a dimmer switch specifically designed for fluorescent lights. These devices control the amount of electricity flowing to the light, allowing you to adjust the brightness.
Why does a tube light cast a dim shadow than a bulb?
A tube light casts a dim shadow compared to a bulb because the light emitted by a fluorescent tube is more diffused and spread out, resulting in softer edges and less contrast in the shadow. Conversely, a bulb emits light in all directions, including towards the shadow, creating a sharper and darker outline.
Which circuit can decrease the fluorescent brightness to the minimum amount?
You need to purchase a Fluorescent dimmer switch, no circuit can dim the brightness of the light safely.
Why do dimmer lights not dim?

Two bulb are connected in parallel one bulb glows brightly and other is dim what do you say about their current?
The bulb that glows brightly likely has a higher current passing through it compared to the dim bulb. This could be due to differences in resistance, voltage, or power ratings of the two bulbs.
Why is headlite bulb on one side so dim?
1) bad bulb - try switching them 2) bad ground
Is dim light part of head bulb light?
no it is where the gray or black part at
