When did Tesla invent fluorescent lights?
In 1859 Alexandre E. Becquerel discovered them. People keep claiming Tesla but ... nope. Not even close. He'd write about the phenomenon in 1886 but it was well known and documented by then already.
Why you should turn off the lights?
we should turn off the lights because it decreases your electricity bill, reduces our energy use and you don't have to keep on buying new light bulbs when old ones run out from you leaving it on
Can rubber keep heat out?
Rubber can not only keep heat OUT, it can also keep heat IN. It only depends on which side of it is initially at higher temperature. This property of rubber is the main reason that it is often used as a thermal insulator.
What the difference between ballast and transformer?
A transformer changes the amperage and / or voltage. It literally "Transforms" electrical energy. A ballast is like a capacitor. Think of a ballast as a short-term battery. It stores power then releases it as needed. A common example of a ballast is on fluorescent lights. Initially, a fluorescent light needs a big blast of energy to excite the gas molecules into emitting photons (light). Then it only needs a small amount of energy to keep the gas molecules in an excited state. However, that power has to be of consistent amperage and voltage. The ballast is designed to do that. The electrical ballast stores energy in the same way that a water ballast stores water for stability. Because the electrical ballast stores far more power than the device it regulates requires, it too provides a kind of electrical stability. That's why you often see a fluorescent light flicker or "lose stability" when the ballast starts to go bad. A transformer transforms voltage and amperage up or down. A ballast provides a stabile power supply.
What is reason that a steel ship floats while a steel needle sinks?
The displaces a sufficient amount of water to keep it afloat
What is an example sentence using the word flickering?
The flickering of the candlelight was relaxing.The lights keep flickering, we should call an electrician.The doctor noticed that his eyelid was flickering.
Why do the lights keep flickering at my house?
something must be wrong with a wire a something, have it checked
Do you use more electricity by leaving a light on or turning it on and off?
AnswerThere is negligible savings by leaving the light on. It does take slightly more energy to turn on a fluorescent light that to just keep it burning, but their are no savings if the time is more than a second or two.we have tested that when you keep the lights on it uses more electricity than if you turn the lights on and off

When was Keep the Lights On created?
Keep the Lights On was created in 2012.
Why might the headlights in a 1995 GMC Jimmy be flickering?
When you say "flickering", do you mean that they stay on and are constantly going a little brighter and a little dimmer? That is often the voltage regulator trying to keep constant voltage, but allowing one or two volt range. When that happens, the lights will change brightness. It's annoying, but without changing the regulator in the alternator it won't go away. They start flickering on and off after they've been on for about 5 min. The car starts and runs fine, I was told it was probably a relay..... I checked the fuses under the dash. Do you have any other ideas?
Will a resistor keep the fluorescent bulb from lighting?
Depends where you are planning to place the resistor.
How do you grow broad leaf sage indoors?
Sage will grow indoors satisfactorily under standard fluorescent lamps, and exceptionally well under high output fluorescent , compact fluorescent, or high intensity discharge (metal halide or high pressure sodium) plant growing lights. Keep standard fluorescent lamps between 2 and 4 inches from the tops of the plants, high output and compact fluorescents approximately one foot above the plants, and HID lights between 2 and 4 feet above the plants, depending on wattage. Have an oscillating fan gently stir seedlings for at least 2 hours per day to stimulate shorter, sturdier, and more natural plant habit.
Lighting relays keep on flickering in a 1997 gmc jimmy?
My 1999 has been doing this for years. I have learned to ignore it. No negative affect so far.
How do you replace flip up lights?
Turn the lights on then disconnect the battery. This well keep the lights in the up position.
Can you use fluorescent bulbs outdoor?
Can??? Sure, you'd just need to come up with a waterproof enclosure.But the problem is, many fluorescent fixtures don't work well when the temperature drops. Yes you can use fluorescent fixtures outside, they should be approved for the purpose and make sure they have 0 degree rated ballast for cold weather starting. The new electronic type ballast work in cold weather with no problems.
If you have a 30 gallon planted aquarium is a 17 watt fluorescent light good enough to keep the plants growing?
no
