Does fluorescent bulb act as grow light?
Plants grow well in the red end of the light spectrum. Fluorescent tubes come in many light outputs. Cool white which is in the blue end of the spectrum down to the warm white which is on the red end. Manufactures make a growlux tube which is used specifically for plant growth. Store meat counters are starting to use these tubes for display lighting as they enhance the red colouring of the meat on display.
What is the need for fluorescent material?
Fluorescent materials are used in illumination, displaying, solid state lasers,light communication,light memory and so on.
Where are fluorescent light fixtures used?
Fluorescent light fixtures are generally used in the kitchen, probably due to the efficiency of energy use of the flourescent lights, but they can be mounted practically everywhere.
Which term is used to deacribe objects that produce light?
Fluorescent or incandescent.
When were fluorescent lights first used on home bathroom medicine cabinets?
The first viable & practical fluorescent light was sold in 1938. The fluorescent became common place in the 1940s and was used in medicine cabinet lighting.

What is a pin based fluorescent light fixture?
A pin based fluorescent light fixture is the type of fixture that takes fluorescent tubes. On each end of the fluorescent tubes there are contact pins. These pins are used to hold the tube in the fixture and to supply the voltage to the tube from the fixture's ballast.
Is argon used for?
1) electric light bulbs 2) fluorescent tubes 3) radio vacuum tubes 4) welding
What was argon used for?
Electric light bulbs, fluorescent tubes, and radio vacuum tubes and as an inert gas shield in arc welding.
What gases are used in fluorescent light bulbs?
Fluorescent lamps (both the "compact" variety and the long tubes) are filled with inert gas (argon, xenon, neon or krypton) and mercury vapor, under low pressure (less than 1% of atmospheric pressure)Neon. and lead
Is used in fluorescent light with argon?
If you mean which other element is used in a fluorescent light along with argon then the answer is xenon.
Beams of electrons that shine on fluorescent materials are used in?
Cathode ray tubes.
Why capacitor is used in tube light circuit?
For power factor improvement so that the KVA demand is reduced.
What are the different gases introduced into fluorescent lamps that give them their specific colors?
I think that you may be confusing fluorescent tubes with neon tubes. Fluorescent tubes use a phosphor coating on the inside of the lamp which is in a limited spectrum. Some tubes are cool white, warm white, and daylight. There is also a gro lux which is on the warm end of the spectrum used for growing indoor plants.
What gas is in fluorescent tube?
