How long will an Aerogarden bulb last?
A bulb will last about six months before it needs to be changed again. Continuously turning a bulb on and off will decrease its' life span, however the average life span is about 5,000 hours per bulb.
Will adding a motion sensor to a fluorescent lamp decrease the bulb life?
The motion sensor itself will not alter the bulb life, assuming it does not try to dim the fixture. The bulb life would be the same as if someone threw the switch each time the sensor turns on/off. From my experience, some motion sensors work poorly with florescent lights (CFLs or sometimes referred to as spiral bulbs). In my experience they flash, flicker, or stay dimly lit when the motion sensor has nothing in range. I do not know why. I put in an incandescent bulb and everything is fine. If you put a florescent bulb in and it works great then just leave it, it will have a long life. If it flashes or acts weird then, put in an old style incandescent or a halogen.
HOW did the light bulb make life better?
The light bulb is safer and easier to use than gas lamps, and electricity is easier to distribute for the purpose of street/home lighting than gas. A cheaper, safer, and easier means of bringing light to the darkness was born with its invention.
Does the life of a light bulb depend on its wattage?
Yes, Of Course The lifetime depends on the wattage. The wattage is the amount of Power the light bulb uses, and the life time depends on the power. Thank you
Is it true that if you kiss someone you reduce your life?
No not at all its just some stupid old wifes tale/superstition!
What are the benefits of using low voltage dimmer switches in a home lighting system?
Low voltage dimmer switches in a home lighting system offer benefits such as energy savings, extended bulb life, and the ability to create different lighting moods and ambiance.
What are the benefits of using lamp dimmer switches in a home lighting system?
Lamp dimmer switches in a home lighting system offer benefits such as energy savings, creating ambiance, extending bulb life, and providing flexibility in adjusting light levels to suit different activities or moods.
Can you put a dimmer switch on compact fluorescent light bulbs?
I have but if dimmer is on low the light fixture sometimes "hums", can be anoying It also shortens the bulb life, significantly in some cases. But their are also CFL bulbs built to be used with a dimmer switch that avoid these problems.Another AnswerYou should only use CFLs specifically-designed to be used with dimmers in circuits controlled by dimmer switches. There is a proven danger of fire hazard when ordinary CFLs are controlled by dimmer switches and, so, this should NEVER be done.
Can a dimmer switch help reduce the use of energy in a home?
No. this is because a dimmer switch increases resistance to produce less light. in other words, the dimmer switch converts the electrical energy into other forms such as heat by increasing resistance and is thus not saving energy, but wasting it.
You have two switches on either end of your kitchen and they are on what is called a 3 way circuit Are there dimmers for this circuit Do you need a dimmer?
== == Yes, there are 3-way dimmer switches. Normally staircase lights plus bed room lights need these kind of 3-way switches to turn lights on or off from more than one place. Such lighting arrangements can use dimmers if u need as usual nothing to worry. A dimmer will help save energy, may prolong the life of the bulbs, and will permit greater variability of the amount of light to be used.
Does the watage of a light bulb affect how long it lasts?
No, the type of bulb and filament will determine life, as well as how many times it is turned off and on. Repetitive on and off cycles will reduce the life of the filament.
2007 subaru impreza low beam headlight replacement technique?
First, open the hood of the vehicle. Next, remove the cover of the bulb. Finally, release the clip that holds the bulb in place. Be sure to wear rubber gloves when handling the new bulb, as oil on your hands will reduce the life of the bulb.
What might happen to the bulb if you added too much batteries to the circuit?
Too much power is likely to burn out the bulb's filament, or shorten the bulb's life. A resistor of suitable rating, placed within the circuit, would help reduce the voltage to a more suitable level
In a bulb noble gas argon is used . why is argon is used instead of air in the light bulb?
Argon is used in light bulbs because it is an inert gas, which means it does not react with the filament or the glass envelope of the bulb. This helps to extend the life of the bulb by preventing the filament from degrading. Additionally, argon helps to reduce the rate of evaporation of the filament, leading to a longer-lasting bulb.
Can a energy light bulb be usedwith a regular dimmer switch?
Some CFLs (Compact Fluorescent Lightbulbs) can be used with a regular dimmer. CFLs that can be used with a dimmer will be marked as such on the packaging. They are a little bit more expensive than non-dimming CFLs. It may be helpful to ask an employee at the store if you are unable to find the bulb you need. I tried one dimmable CFL and thought it was terrible. The light color was unnatural, it was slow to get bright, and the lowest dim setting was not very low. In the end, I returned it to Home Depot with less than 5 minutes use on it. I talked with a lighting store owner about "good" green lighting solutions, and he said that the technology just isn't there yet. Currently, if you want good light while saving electricity and increasing bulb life, simply dim the regular incandescent bulbs you have now (according to him). Of course, setting a dimmer to 80% isn't going to be as energy efficient as using a CFL, but it will offer some savings. I would expect better solutions within the next five years. I do use CFLs in my patio lights, and in some other lights that I don't care much what they look like. But for my "real" lighting, I use regular incandescents with dimmers. Hope that helps. -- Eric
How do you use the Light bulb?
we use the light bulb in every day life
What happens if you touch a headlight bulb with your hand?
Touching a headlight bulb will shorten the life of the bulb considerably. the oils from your skin cause a hotspot on the bulb and shorten the life. Please see the link below for more information.
