There are two types of modern bulbs, CFL and LED and they are available in various wattages. While more expensive initially, there is tremendous energy savings over the extended life span.

Why do some stars appear dimmer than the others?
Because its father away than the rest.
Why are some stars are brighter than the others?
Because some are larger than others and some are closer than others.
Are stars cooler than the sun brighter or dimmer?
a sun is a star so it would be considered both dimmer .
Is the sun bigger or smaller than other stars?
Our sun is about average compared to other stars. Some are much smaller (white dwarfs) and others are much larger.
How much dimmer is Procyon B than the Sun?
Aprox. 290 trillion

Why do some light bulbs heat up more than others?
because they fart

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.
How is the sun different from other stars relative to earth?
The Sun is bigger than some stars and smaller than others. It is brighter than some stars and dimmer than others. Relative to the Earth it is much closer than all other stars.
Why do bulbs get dimmer in series circuits?
When light bulbs are connected in series circuits, they will get dimmer whenever a bulb is added. This is because the current is shared between all of the bulbs equally.AnswerLamps only operate at their rated power when subjected to their rated voltage. If you connect lamps in series, each lamp will be subject to a lower voltage, so they will not operate at their rated power and, so, will be dimmer. The more powerful lamps will actually glow less than the less-powerful lamps because their resistance is lower and the voltage drop across them will also be lower than the voltage drop across the less powerful lamps.
In a circuit does lamp gets dimmer if more lamps with same battery?
this depends on 1. whether the extra bulbs are being connected in parallel circuit or in series with each other, and 2. the power rating of the battery. supposing the battery power rating is greater than all the individual bulbs put together, the bulbs will glow the same maximum intensity if they are connected in parallel, and will become dimmer if connected end to end i.e in series.
Why is one tail light dimmer than others and stops working when headlights are engaged?
sounds like a poor ground.
Does using a dimmer switch affect the electricity usage?
Newer dimmers are based on the "triac" principle which will cut costs of running lamps. This is achieved by allowing electricity to cycle through the bulbs at less than 60 hz thus causing the bulb to use less energy. Some old dimmers were purely resistive dimmers thus, electricity not being used by the lamp was dissipated as heat by the dimmer. This style dimmer showed no electricity savings.
Why does proxima centauri look dimmer than betelgeuse?
Proxima Centauri appears dimmer than Betelgeuse because it actually is dimmer by several orders of magnitude.
Are sun and stars same?
Yes, though not all stars are the same. Some stars are bigger and brighter than the sun, some smaller and dimmer, and others about the same. The sun is only of significance to use because it is much closer than any other star.
Why some stars appear bright while other are dim?
1). Some stars are brighter or dimmer than others. 2). Some stars are nearer or farther from earth than others. So any given star can be bright and near, bright and far, dim and near, or dim and far. It's kind of like the reason why some instruments in the band sound louder than others. A piccolo has to be a lot nearer to you in order to sound as loud as a far-away Trumpet.
