It depends on the voltage and whether the lamps are actually 40 watts or 40 watt equivalent.

How many amps fluorescent bulb?

When you buy the bulb. All of those specifications should be on the package. To figure the Kilowatts it's pulling and cost to run. kW = amps x volts / 1000. then just take your kW x price per kw. and that will give you how much it costs to run that bulb for one hour. The amperage is on the label of the ballast. When you connect the ballast to power you will see it along with the voltage and pf of the ballast. F40T12 twin 8 foot tubes, ballast usually draws about .75 amps.


Can use a motion sensor with dimmable fluorescent lights?

No, motion sensors are not compatible with dimmable fluorescent lights. The fluctuating voltage from the dimming process can interfere with the motion sensor's functionality. It is recommended to use non-dimmable fluorescent lights with motion sensors for optimal performance.


How many amps can an LED take?

An LED typically consumes around 20mA (0.02 amps) of current to operate. Exceeding this current limit can damage the LED.


18kW motor will take how many amps?

To calculate the amps drawn by an 18kW motor, you can use the formula: Amps = Power (Watts) / Voltage (Volts). Assuming a standard voltage of 120V, the motor would draw approximately 150Amps. Note that actual amps will depend on the specific voltage of the motor.


How many amps 2300 btu 240 volts?

Assuming we are talking about 2300 BTU per hour, take 2300 and divide by the number of BTUs per watt-hour, 3.414, giving 673 watts. Then divide this by the voltage, 240, giving 2.81 amps.

Amps used by 32 watt fluorescent light bulbs?

If it is a 120volt light, then it is watts / volts. 32 watts / 120 = .2667 amps. <<>> fluorescent lights usually have a power factor around 0.6 so a 32 watt bulb would take around 32/(120 x 0.6) amps or 0.44 amps.


How long did it take to invent fluorescent lights?

How many take amp 40 watt fluorescent lamp?

Watts= voltage times amps. So if you divide Watts by voltage, you will get amps = .33333 or about a 1/3 amp load. This is assuming a 120 volt circuit.

How can I reduce the negative effects of overhead fluorescent lights in my workspace?

To reduce the negative effects of overhead fluorescent lights in your workspace, you can try the following strategies: Use task lighting to reduce the reliance on overhead lighting. Install light diffusers or filters to soften the harsh glare of fluorescent lights. Adjust the positioning of your workspace to minimize direct exposure to the lights. Take regular breaks and look away from the lights to reduce eye strain. Consider using full-spectrum bulbs or natural light sources to create a more comfortable lighting environment.

How much watts dose concert light take?

Lights range from 300 to 1000 watts and there can be hundreds of them. Amps are rated by watts and they are useing many of these at a time. A concert probably uses more power than a very large house does in a year.


How many amps does it take to run a 1000 watt bublb?

To answer this question the voltage needs to be known.


How many amps does one light use?

You just have to divide the watts by the voltage to find the amps. For example 60 watts on a 120 v system would take ½ amp.
