If the ballast on a fluorescent light blows will the lamp still work?
If the ballast on a fluorescent light blows the lamp will not work.
Can tinted window film be attached safely to fluorescent ceiling light cover to dim light?
Yes, also you could try a lower wattage lamp that will still fit into the same fluorescent fixture.
How do you use fluorescent in a sentence?
It still has dingy corridors, ancient washrooms, rusting bunk beds (six to a room),a single fluorescent bulb hanging from the ceiling and an ancient radiator in front of the window.
How much energy does an incandescent lightbulb use versus a fluorescent?
Yes that's true fluorescent bulbs are better because it usess 75% less energy and works longer than a incandescent light bulb. Yes...and no. It is true that power usage decreases with fluorescent balb usage. However, one must take into account that they pollute more (i.e. mercury and other heavy metals).
Compact fluorescent lamps have made a lot of changes in the lighting sector it is also changed from a fluorescent lamp to compact fluorescent lamps but still it is dependent on the ballast Why?
A ballast is an electrical component used with a fluorescent bulb (or mercury vapor lamp or arc lamp) to conduct electricity at each end of the tube. Compact fluorescent light bulbs are dependent on ballast because they use a gas to create light. when the gas is excited by electricity, it emits invisible ultraviolet light that hits the white coating inside the fluorescent bulb. The coating changes the ultraviolet light into light you can see.
In space is it dark?
Yes! space is pitch black! however, because of the light of the stars,and especially the sun..... space is really glowing with light . but it is still dark in space .
Is it possible to manufacture fluorescent ink?
Yes, fluorescent inks can be manufactured. And they are. To keep it simple, something that is fluorescent will fluoresce under high energy light, usually ultraviolet light. This high energy light will be absorbed by the fluorphore, and it will re-emit light of a lower energy, usually in the visible spectrum where we can see it. (The rest of the light energy of the incoming light will retained as heat - atomic and/or molecular vibration.) Fluorescent markers find application in the security or property control area where they are used to mark things like chairs or tables or stuff like that. The marks are invisible under normal circumstances, but will fluoresce and become visible under black light. Certainly there are still posters that are printed with fluorescent ink and look cool under black light.
Change the Light Bulbs!?
Still using incandescent light bulbs? If so, you're wasting electricity and your electric bill will no doubt show it. Fluorescent lighting is far from new, but the way the bulbs are shaped, is. There was a time when you couldn't buy a fluorescent light bulb to fit many existing lamps and fixtures. Someone must have heard us complain, because now you can find fluorescent bulbs in almost any shape and size. A simple and effective way to watch your electric bill go down measurably is to simply change light bulbs from incandescent to fluorescent.
What is the definition of ember?
Ember is a small part of glowing wood, which is still burning. If it is burning for a while it is a piece of coal. It is found near a campside fire, that is still glowing.
What is the name of the energy saving light-bulbs?
There are two different technologies, fluorescent, and LEDs. Fluorescent light bulbs are more common; LEDs are still too expensive for mainstream use. +++ LED lamps' prices are now very competitive, certainly where I live, and make up for the unit price difference in reduced electricity consumption for a given light output. I have a mixture of incandescent, CF and LED lamps in my home, and slowly going over to LED as the existing lamps expire.

How much energy does a led bulb use?
It varies, since they come in different capacities. In general, only a small fraction of what an old-fashioned incandescent light bulb uses; and still quite a bit less than what a fluorescent light uses.
