Which light bulb uses more energy?
Incandescent and halogen light bulbs use more energy than compact fluorescent lights and LED lights. Fluorescent lamps with magnetic ballasts use more energy than fluorescent lamps with electronic ballasts.
Bulb that produces two forms of energy?
All bulbs produce heat energy and light energy ,even the CFL (Compact Fluorescent Lamp) there is also some heat energy associated with them.
Energy transformations in a projector?
Heat and light energy
What are the energy transformations of a fluorescent light bulb?
When a fluorescent lamp is turned on, the electricity excites the mercury vapor inside the tube. UV light is produced. The UV light excites the phosphor coating. The phosphorus atoms relax by releasing a visible light. Since the light emitted by the phosphorus atoms is of a spread spectrum (the frequency is not fixed), the light appears whitish. To summarize, electricity is turned into light.
What energy transformations take place when electrical energy is applied to light bulbs?
Electrical energy gets converted to light and heat energy.
What light is more energy saving?
Compact fluorescent light globes.
DO incandescent light bulbs waste less energy than compact energy than compact fluorescent bulbs?
no
What is the name of those swirly light bulbs?
They are known as CFL bulbs. It stands for Compact Fluorescent Lamps.
What does CFL's in lighting stand for?
The fulform of CFL bulbs is compact fluorecent light
Which Lighting will be the most energy efficient?
Compact fluorescent light bulbs are pretty energy efficient and are energy star rated.
What is the energy reducing light bulb called?
They are called CFL light bulbs. CFL stands for Compact Fluorescent Light .
Is compact fluorescent light the best energy saving bulb?
No, the most energy efficient bulbs are LED (Light Emitting Diode) light bulbs.
Information on CFL light bulbs?
A compact fluorescent lamp (CFL), also called compact fluorescent light, energy-saving light, and compact fluorescent tube, is a fluorescent lamp designed to replace an incandescent lamp; some types fit into light fixtures formerly used for incandescent lamps. The lamps use a tube which is curved or folded to fit into the space of an incandescent bulb, and a compact electronic ballast in the base of the lamp.
Which light bulb uses more energy?
Incandescent and halogen light bulbs use more energy than compact fluorescent lights and LED lights. Fluorescent lamps with magnetic ballasts use more energy than fluorescent lamps with electronic ballasts.
What are cfl lights?
A CFL light is a Compact Fluorescent Light.
Why have compact fluorescent light bulbs come on the market?
An ENERGY STAR qualified compact fluorescent light bulb (CFL) will save about $30 over its lifetime and pay for itself in about 6 months. It uses 75 percent less energy and lasts about 10 times longer than an incandescent bulb.
What is the swirly light bulb called?
compact fluorescent light bulbs
