What advantages do fluorescent tubes have over incandescent bulbs?
Fluorescent tubes last longer and supply more light per watt of energy consumed than an incandescent bulb.
What are the most efficient light bulbs?
At present there are several types of light bulbs available for indoor domestic use.Arranged by their efficiency from least-to-most they are:Incandescent bulbs (60 watts)The old style light bulb emitting light from a hot filamentFluorescent tubes (30 to 40 watts)Several inch to several foot long tubes emitting light from a vacuum with a trace of Mercury vapour requiring a special fixtureCompact Fluorescent bulbs (15 watts)Roughly incandescent sized small fluorescent tubes designed to screw into standard light bulb fixturesLight Emitting Diode /LED's (5 watts)Small cool running lights using special mini-sockets or designed to fit into conventional sockets.Notes:Power requirements to provide as much light as a 60 watt incandescent bulb indicated in parenthesesBoth types of fluorescent tubes contain mercury and require special handling and disposal requirementsOutdoor lights would also include Mercury and Sodium vapour bulbs as well as high powered incandescent bulbs. These are more efficient than incandescent bulbs but the colour spectrum emitted and other aspects makes indoor use unlikely
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.
What do you think will happen to the energy bill at your school if all of the light bulbs were changed from incandescent to fluorescent bulbs?
The cost of lighting should drop because the fluorescent tubes use lower energy to obtain similar lumin
How much electricity does a T8 32w fluorescent light bulbs use?
These tubes need a ballast to operate the tubes. The current and voltage will be marked on the fixtures ballast.

What are the different types of visible light sources available for everyday use?
The different types of visible light sources available for everyday use include incandescent bulbs, fluorescent tubes, LED lights, and halogen lamps.
Does a incandescent light bulb emit electrons by thermionic emission?
No, incandescent light bulbs do not emit electrons by thermionic emission. Instead, they produce light by heating a filament to such a high temperature that it emits visible light due to incandescence. Thermionic emission typically refers to the emission of electrons from a heated cathode in vacuum tubes or electron guns.
Examples of artificial light?
Examples of artificial light sources include incandescent bulbs, fluorescent tubes, LED lights, and neon lights. Artificial light is any light produced by humans for lighting purposes, as opposed to natural light sources like the sun or fire.
One advantage that incandescent bulbs have over fluorescent tubes?
* They turn on more quickly than do fluorescents. * They do not require / release mercury when they break. * They release a broader spectrum of light. * They make good heaters. * They keep releasing some light for a little time after the power is turned off. * They are simpler, cheaper and easier to manufacture. * They do not present a capacitive load on the power lines, like fluorescent lights do.
What are the powered sources of light?
Some powered sources of light include incandescent bulbs, fluorescent tubes, LED lights, and halogen lamps. These sources rely on electricity to generate light through different mechanisms such as heating a filament or exciting gas molecules.
What are the benefits of using a long skinny light bulb compared to traditional light bulbs?
Long skinny light bulbs, also known as fluorescent tubes, have several benefits compared to traditional incandescent light bulbs. They are more energy-efficient, last longer, and produce less heat. Additionally, they provide a more even distribution of light and are often used in commercial and industrial settings for their cost-effectiveness and brightness.
Will the new energy saving light bulbs be economically friendlier than normal bulbs if it takes them longer to break down and how long does that usually take?
Energy saving light bulbs are economical to operate because they are flourescent tubes. Flourescent tubes put out more lumens than incandescent bulbs by a ratio of three to one. For instance, a 40 watt flourescent tube will put out the equivilent of 120 watts of light, yet only use 40 watts of electricity. A 120 watt incandescent lamp will require 120 watts of energy to put out the same amount of light. That's savings #1. Savings # 2 is that the flourescent lamps will last two to three times longer than the standard incandescent lamp, and as they become more readily available, we can expect to see the prices drop. The light from the energy savings bulbs seem to be about the same in color as an incandescent bulb, and they don't glare like the long cylindrical tubes do. I've switched over several lamps and plan to do more. Cheaper to run and last longer. In my mind, it's ecologically and economically sound. The one big drawback though, is that flourescent tubes usually use mercury in them so proper disposal needs to be taken into consideration.
