How often are water tower light bulbs replaced?

Lights on water towers, radio towers, cellphone towers, and other tall structures are HUGELY expensive to purchase, operate, and replace. They should last several years, at the very least.


Does the temp affect how light bulbs evaporate water?

The light bulb increases the temperature, and the higher the temperature, the faster evaporation occurs. The light bulb itself doesn't evaporate water. If you're using the old incandescent light bulbs, they will give off a lot more heat, and evaporate more water than an energy-saving bulb. It also depends on the distance between the bulb and the water, the surface area, mass of water, and time.


How do light bulbs cause global warming?

In a incandescent light bulb almost 90% of the energy taken in is being wasted as heat. only 10% is being used as visible light. this means that alot of energy taken in from ex sun,vind and water are not being used as it should have been. Thats why the LED bulbs are so good because they dont give out as much wasted energy


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.


Are there fish tank light bulbs that don't heat up if they are on for a long time?

I have goldfish and they need a decent source of light in order to keep their scales from fading and it rains almost every day where I live. I have an aquarium with two light bulbs built into the top of it, but if they are on all day while I'm at work, the water over-heats. Once i had to stay later than normal and some of my fish died it got so warm(ideal for tropical fish temperatures). Know of any light bulbs that do not heat up so mush and that are available for fish tanks? -Stargazer
