What else can I help you with?
Can an appliance bulb be used in a lamp?
As long as the base configuration is the same then, yes the bulbs can be interchanged.
Light bulbs in a series circuit have the same brightness?
If they have the same resistance they will. Kirchhoff's' Law.
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.
Can you recycle xenon light bulbs?
Halogen light bulbs are a type of incandescent light bulbs and are filled with a halogen gas. The halogen gas gives the bulbs a longer life than traditional incandescent bulbs because it helps redeposit the evaporated tungsten back to the filament. Halogen light bulbs are not the same thing as compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFL bulbs), which have mercury inside and are often subject to state or local disposal regulations. Also, halogen light bulbs are not recyclable like CFL bulbs are.
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.
How fluorescent lamp promotes conservation of energy?
It uses less energy, to produce the same light, than the traditional light-bulbs.
What does CFL's in lighting stand for?
The fulform of CFL bulbs is compact fluorecent light
Do bulbs need to be sold together with lamps?
In electrical terminology bulbs and lamps are the same thing. If you are talking about a lamp as a fixture no bulbs and lamp fixtures do no need to be sold together.
What are the differences of bulbs and lights and lamps?
These terms mean the same thing: typically people say 'bulbs', 'lights', or 'lamps'. Most electricians use 'lamps' to mean any of these. Typically, a light fixture is called a fixture, or a luminaire. The part that actually lights, is called a lamp. (A table lamp can also be called a lamp).
Does a compact fluorescent lamp use 60 watts the same as a standard lamp?
40 watts is 40 watts, that is what you are paying for. However, an incandescent bulb uses the 40 watts to make light and heat. The compact bulbs make more light and less heat for the same wattage. To actually save, choose a lower wattage that will give acceptable light levels.
Compare the current in a 2 light bulbs wired in a series circuit?
In a series circuit, the current passing through each component, like the light bulbs, is the same. This means that both light bulbs would have the same current flowing through them. If one light bulb were to burn out, current flow through both bulbs would stop.
Can an appliance bulb be used in a lamp?
As long as the base configuration is the same then, yes the bulbs can be interchanged.
Do two light bulbs in a series circuit have the same brightness?
yes but they will each be less bright then if there was only one light bulb in the circuitAnswerIt depends on their power ratings. If they are different, then the lamp with the lower power rating will be the brighter. The reason for this is that lower power lamps have a greater resistance than higher power lamps and, so, a greater voltage drop appears across the lower power lamp, making them brighter.
Do black lights use more electricity than regular bulbs?
Black lights typically use the same amount of electricity as regular bulbs of the same wattage. The difference is in the type of light they emit: black lights emit ultraviolet (UV) light, which is not visible to the human eye but can make certain materials glow.
Are light bulbs really efficient?
Normal incandescent bulbs produce a lot of heat as well as light, so are not so efficient as low energy bulbs which can give the same light but consume much less electricity
Light bulbs in a series circuit have the same brightness?
If they have the same resistance they will. Kirchhoff's' Law.
Can you use a 75 watt light bulb on a lamp rated 60 watt max?
Usually the 60-watt limit is used to prevent the lampshade overheating, so a 75-watt bulb should not be used. But if more brightness is required, try a low-energy bulb because a 15-watt one gives the same light as a 75-watt incandescent (old-style) bulb. Or a 20-watt would be even brighter.
