What else can I help you with?
Are fluorescent bulb fragments dangerous if stuck in your skin?
You mean, as distinct from the normal, perfectly safetype of having glass fragments stuck in your skin?The big danger with fluorescent bulbs is usually the mercury vapor contained within, and secondarily the phosphors which are made of Lord knows what.
How much can compact fluorescent light bulbs reduce lighting energy?
Incandescent bulbs waste energy by using more power that other types of bulb. An incandescent produces about 10 lumens of light per watt of electric power. A halogen produces about 13 lumens/watt A compact fluorescent (CFL) produces about 50 lumens/watt.
Are regular light bulbs or fluorescent bulbs worse for the environment?
On the one hand, fluorescent bulbs contain toxic materials that can be released when the bulb is dumped. On the other hand, fluorescent bulbs last so much longer than do regular, or incandescent, bulbs that this problem is minimised. More importanlty, fluorescent bulbs use only about one-fifth the electricity of incandescent bulbs, thus helping us to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions and therefore slow down global warming. Since global warming is by far the greatest environmental danger we face, fluorescent bulbs must be better for the environment.
What is the verb of sense?
Sense is already a verb in the right context. As in "to sense something".Other verbs for sense depending on the tense (excuse the rhyme there) is senses, sensed and sensing.Some example sentences are:"I sense a danger"."He is sensing danger"."He says he senses a danger"."I told you I sensed trouble".
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

Why do energy saving light bulbs use less electricity?
Energy-saving lamps, such as normal and compact fluorescents, use more of the energy they consume to produce light rather than heat. An incandescent light converts electricity to heat and light is simply a by-product of the heat.Fluorescent bulbs still have incandescent filaments, but they are used to emit the electrons that run the length of the tube colliding with the vapourised mercury and producing light.Mainly because they run "cool", a fluorescent lamp uses only about one fifth - 1/5 - of the electrical energy used by a lamp that has a hot, incandescent filament.Another good thing about fluorescent lamps is that they can have a useful life that is between 5 and 10 times longer than an incandescent lamp, saving even more money over a period of years. On the other hand, turning a fluorescent lamp on and off repeatedly, so that it only runs for for short periods, will radically shorten its lifespan. Also CFL bulbs tend to cause large amounts of radio frequency interference.If a fluorescent tube or 'bulb' is broken, the mercury is released which is poisonous.Another opinionSaying that the mercury in mercury lamps is dangerous is an urban myth which comes from the old styles of mercury discharge lamps and fluorescent tubes used over fifty years ago, which did indeed contain about a gram of liquid mercury!While in use such a lamp was not dangerous at all, but if the glass tube or bulb got broken the "blob" of mercury could certainly be dangerous to human health if anyone picked it up with their bare fingers or swallowed it to see what how it tasted.Mercury is the only example we have on Earth of a metal that is in its liquid state at room temperature. It was such a "curiousity" that several people did get ill - and may have died - from poisoning by mercury, but not much of it would have came from old fashioned "mercury lamps"!That said, anyone who advises you that "fluorescent lights contain mercury which is poisonous" about today's fluorescent lamps is making a very misleading statement which could be intended just to frighten people.No matter whether they are the "compact" or the "long tube" types, modern fluorescent lamps contain only an extremely tiny amount of a special mercury amalgam so that, whilst a modern lamp is in use, there is absolutely no danger to anyone.However, if such a lamp gets broken, then care must be taken to sweep up all the fragments carefully and dispose of them sensibly in something strong enough not to be cut by the broken glass, such as an old corrugated cardboard box or similar bound around with gaffer tape to stop it from being opened easily.Today, the main danger to people is the risk of getting cuts from the shards of glass, not from mercury poisoning!The answers to the Related Questions shown below give a lot more information about how compact fluorescent lamps work and about the very good savings you will achieve in the cost of electricity if you use them instead of normal incandescent lamps.
