because the turning fan blades create this effect
In the press to promote the virtues of fluorescent bulbs, one key physical attribute has been left out of the discussion, these bulbs 'excite' the gas using AC current, and the older bulbs and most of new ones actually blink or strobe 60x a sec (from the 60 hz AC current used. Humans can not directly see this as we can only see up to 30 x a sec, but if an interference pattern or other off / on condition exists, it is possible to expose this strobe effect, by altering it's frequency . I do not know if the new bulbs pulse or strobe at 60 cps, but unless they use direct current, they are strobing / blinking at some frequency, this is not natural continuously emitted light and is not very healthy as it does still affect your sub conscience and moods,, and other minor type neurological impacts. I have not found anything that says they have resolved this blinking light aspect of cfl's, they don't mention it anywhere I have looked. But as in physics, movement relative to a strobing light in a certain way or speed, can alter the observed frequencies and they can become noticeable ; I would never read or look at anything closely for significant time without other natural light or incandescent light around ,it would appear that led's give off continuous light as they use dc. You never see this type of strobe using incandescent bulbs or fire ( . Candles). Other comments??
What else can I help you with?
When was the compact florecent light bulb created?
The compact fluorescent light bulb (CFL) was developed in the late 1970s, with significant advancements made by various manufacturers in the early 1980s. The first commercially available CFLs were introduced in the early 1980s, offering an energy-efficient alternative to traditional incandescent bulbs. These bulbs became more popular in the 1990s as awareness of energy conservation grew.
What are the twisty light bulbs?
These are compact fluorescent lights (CFLs) that produce light but save energy while doing so. In fact, they actually produce more light than a standard light bulb but use less energy while doing so. What makes the CLF different is that the CLF is made from a gas-filled tube and a ballast, while the regular light bulb uses a filament. Hope this answers your question.
What are three other sources of light besides the sun?
-- fireflies -- campfire -- stars -- match -- compact fluorescent light
What are the three sources of white light?
The three sources of white light are the sun, incandescent light bulbs, and fluorescent light bulbs.
How has the light bulb change over the years?
Light bulbs have evolved from incandescent bulbs invented by Thomas Edison in the 19th century to more energy-efficient options like compact fluorescent lights (CFLs) and light-emitting diodes (LEDs). These newer bulbs are more efficient, last longer, and come in a variety of shapes and sizes, providing consumers with more lighting options. Additionally, advances in technology have led to smart bulbs that can be controlled remotely via mobile devices.
What are the different types of ceiling fan light bulbs available in the market?
The different types of ceiling fan light bulbs available in the market include LED, incandescent, and compact fluorescent bulbs. LED bulbs are energy-efficient and long-lasting, while incandescent bulbs are traditional but less efficient. Compact fluorescent bulbs are also energy-efficient but may take some time to reach full brightness.
What is the name of those swirly light bulbs?
They are known as CFL bulbs. It stands for Compact Fluorescent Lamps.
Where can one buy compact fluorescent bulbs from?
Compact fluorescent bulbs can be used around the home and also in reptile tanks. The most common places to purchase these bulbs are on the websites Amazon and eBay.
Are CFL bulbs autovolt?
No, compact fluorescent light bulbs generally are not autovolt.
DO incandescent light bulbs waste less energy than compact energy than compact fluorescent bulbs?
no
What does CFL's in lighting stand for?
The fulform of CFL bulbs is compact fluorecent light
What is being done about pollution?
Compact fluorescent light bulbs.
What are two kinds of light bulbs?
incandescent , compact fluorescent
How are you supposed to dispose of Compact fluorescent bulbs?
Compact fluorescent bulb contain mercury.You're supposed to take them to your local hazardous waste facility.
Why do compact fluorescent bulbs flicker?
Compact fluorescent bulbs may flicker due to issues with the ballast, which regulates the flow of electricity to the bulb. When the ballast is faulty or incompatible with the bulb, it can cause flickering.
Can you use compact fluorescent bulbs in garage door opener?
No, it is not recommended to use compact fluorescent bulbs in a garage door opener as they may emit interference that can disrupt the signal transmission of the opener. It is best to use LED or incandescent bulbs that are specifically designed for use in garage door openers.
How do compact fluorescent lights differ from fluorescent light globes?
Compact fluorescent lights are smaller versions of traditional fluorescent light bulbs that are designed to fit into standard light fixtures. They are more energy-efficient and have a longer lifespan compared to incandescent bulbs. Fluorescent light globes typically refer to the larger, tube-shaped fluorescent bulbs that are commonly used in commercial and industrial settings.
