Where can a circuit with two lamps with single pole switch fluorescent lamp with two 2 way and an intermediate control can be used?
This type of circuit would never be used. The two way fluorescent system would depend on the voltage being supplied by the two lamp circuit switch. If the switch turns off the two lamp circuit the rest of the circuit with the fluorescent fixture would become inoperable.
What type of a ballast do compact fluorescent lamps use?
a compact electronic ballast in the base of the lamp
How many volts should I be reading at a fluorescent bulb?
The voltage present on the secondary side of the ballast (transformer) varies as to the type of fluorescent tube or bulb that is in the fixture. The voltage will always be higher that the applied line voltage that supplies the ballast.If the fluorescent bulb screws into a lamp type of fixture, then there is no way to measure the voltage at the bulb as the tube and ballast are a combined sealed unit.
Can an electricity surge turn on a light?
It can, if the light is a capacitance type of lamp that you touch to switch it on, then a surge can turn it on.
How do fluorescent lights light source works to make the colours?
A fluorescent lamp is a gas-discharge lamp that uses electricity to excite mercury vapor. The excited mercury atoms produce short-wave ultraviolet light that then causes a phosphor to fluoresce, producing visible light. The color a fluorescent lamp puts out is dependent on the type of phosphor it uses. Colored fluorescent lamps usually have a colored tube that together with the color rating produce the required color (red, blue, etc). Fluorescent lamps are sold by their 'color temperature'. 'Cool White' is 6500K and is somewhat bluish. 3000K is usually labeled 'Kitchen and Bath', which is a bright more natural light. All florescent tubes are labeled as to their color temperature, and some brands also have a scale showing just where it's color is on the spectrum of available colors.

What is the difference between cCFL and CFL?
A CFL, or compact fluorescent lamp, is a type of fluorescent lamp intended to replace traditional incandescent lamps. Advantages of CFL's include lower power use, a longer rated life, and significantly lower greenhouse gas emission. However, these lights tend to have higher purchase prices than those of incandescent alternatives. A CCFL, or cold cathode fluorescent lamp, is any type of fluorescent lamp in which the cathode is not independently heated. Neon lights are common examples of CCFL's.
What is the type of gas in an arc lamp?
A combination of neon, argon, xenon, krypton, sodium, metal halide, and mercury. The common fluorescent lamp is a low pressure mercury arc lamp.
What is the function of the light switch on a microscope?
What is the function of the light switch on a microscope?
What is the most common fluorescent lamp found in an exterior commercial sign?
The most common fluorescent lamp found in an exterior commercial sign will be a high output DC recessed base lamp. The ballast will be a zero degree type to allow it to ignite the tube in cold weather down to 0 degrees F.
Can i use a fluorescent cool white bulb in a regular desk lamp if not what type of lamp?
I take it you are referring to a screw in compact fluorescent lamp, am I right? If it screws in the socket and does not touch the metal with the glass part then it was made for the lamp. To see various size CFL lamps for lamps for any light socket visit Bright Commercial Lighting Facebook page. Order the size that will fit your lamp to see better and save energy to.
What is the type of lamp uses with dimmer switch?
You cannot use most fluorescent lights with a dimmer. Just about any incandescent bulb WILL work with a dimmer. Occasionally, when a halogen bulb burns out, it will destroy a dimmer switch but halogen bulbs are considered incandescent and other than that little problem they work well with a dimmer.
Where is fan control switch located?
Depending on what type of fan, the fan control switch can be located on the wall for a ceiling fan. Each type of fan will have a different location for the fan control switch.
Can lamp work only on ac?
Depends. Lamps can certainly be built to work on either AC, or DC, or both. But some lamps, particularly those with electronics in them, either a dimmable lamp, or a fluorescent lamp, may only work with one type of electricity.
What type of fluorescent lamp is commonly used in an exterior sign?
A high output lamp with a dc recessed base connected to a high output -10 degree ballast. Anything else will not work properly in cold weather.
