No, although (at least in North America) a 2-foot size is by far the most common.
What else can I help you with?
What are the manufacturing costs of fluorescent and incandescent light bulbs?
The costs of manufacturing costs of fluorescent and incandescent light bulbs are about the same aside from the slight different materials.
Why can light bulbs be called heat bulbs?
Heat bulbs would be a more appropriate name because incandescent bulbs transform 90% of electricity received into heat and 10% into light. New Compact Fluorescent light bulbs use only 20% to 30% of the energy needed to power a standard bulb for the same wattage.
Why are compact fluorescent light bulbs bad?
Older CFBs contained mercury. However, today's bulbs contain little, if any, mercury. Buying today's bulbs is a good choice, as they produce the same amount of light as an incandescent bulb, but yet uses a fraction of the energy.
Do incandescent light bulbs not get as hot as fluorescent light bulbs?
No, given the same lumen rating. Florescent lights are more electrically efficient than incandescent bulbs. Be careful, fluorescent bulbs currently contain mercury and should be handled and disposed of properly. For more information, you may also want to read. http://home.howstuffworks.com/question236.htm
How are light bulbs measured?
Brightness of a light bulb depends on the power, current, resistance and size of the filament. Lumens is the unit of measurement for the brightness of a bulb. A bulb has more brightness if there is more power and current. Greater the resistance, less is the brightness.
What are the manufacturing costs of fluorescent and incandescent light bulbs?
The costs of manufacturing costs of fluorescent and incandescent light bulbs are about the same aside from the slight different materials.
Do incandescent and fluorescent bulbs produce the same amount of heat?
No, incandescent bulbs produce more heat than fluorescent bulbs. Incandescent bulbs generate light by heating a filament, which also emits heat. Fluorescent bulbs produce less heat because they use electricity to excite gas inside the bulb, which then emits light.
Will a fluorescent light bulb burn brighter than an incandescent one?
Fluorescent light bulbs are typically more energy-efficient and produce more light for the same amount of power compared to incandescent bulbs. So, a fluorescent light bulb may appear brighter than an incandescent bulb with the same power rating.
What is an advantage of using fluorescent light bulbs over incandescent light bulbs?
One key advantage of fluorescent light bulbs over incandescent light bulbs is their energy efficiency; fluorescent bulbs use significantly less electricity to produce the same amount of light. This not only leads to reduced energy bills but also lowers greenhouse gas emissions. Additionally, fluorescent bulbs have a longer lifespan, lasting up to ten times longer than incandescent bulbs, which means less frequent replacements and reduced waste.
Can you use incandescent and fluorescent light bulbs in the same electric circuit?
Yes, that will not cause a problem.
What does CFL's in lighting stand for?
The fulform of CFL bulbs is compact fluorecent light
How fluorescent lamp promotes conservation of energy?
It uses less energy, to produce the same light, than the traditional light-bulbs.
Flouresent bulbs 13 watts compare to incandescent.?
A 13-watt fluorescent bulb typically produces the same amount of light as a 60-watt incandescent bulb, making it significantly more energy-efficient. Fluorescent bulbs use about 78% less energy than their incandescent counterparts for the same light output, which can lead to substantial cost savings on electricity. Additionally, fluorescent bulbs have a longer lifespan, often lasting several years compared to the shorter life of incandescent bulbs.
Compact fluorescent lights are better for both our wallet and the environment but do they produce better light than the traditional incandescent bulbs?
Yes, the compact fluorescent light produce more light as compared to the same wattage of incandescent light, it is scientifically proved.
Do fluorescent lights produce heat?
Yes, fluorescent lights produce some heat when they are on, but significantly less compared to incandescent bulbs. The majority of the energy consumed by fluorescent lights is converted into visible light, making them more energy-efficient.
Why can light bulbs be called heat bulbs?
Heat bulbs would be a more appropriate name because incandescent bulbs transform 90% of electricity received into heat and 10% into light. New Compact Fluorescent light bulbs use only 20% to 30% of the energy needed to power a standard bulb for the same wattage.
Is the following sentence true or false incandescent light bulbs waste less energy than compact fluorescent bulbs?
False. Incandescent light bulbs are less energy-efficient than compact fluorescent bulbs (CFLs), as they convert a significant portion of energy into heat rather than light. CFLs use about 75% less energy to produce the same amount of light, making them a more efficient choice. Therefore, incandescent bulbs waste more energy compared to CFLs.
