I did a quick search and discovered they come in a range of wattage from 15W to 70W - see related link for an example of one supplier (there were thousands listed when I searched for the product !)

What is a pin based fluorescent light fixture?

A pin based fluorescent light fixture is the type of fixture that takes fluorescent tubes. On each end of the fluorescent tubes there are contact pins. These pins are used to hold the tube in the fixture and to supply the voltage to the tube from the fixture's ballast.


What is the use of fuse in fluorescent tube?

Fuse is used to restrict the flow of current to the tube when it is supplied with very high voltage. Due to high voltage the tube may burst and even the electrical apparatus goes malfunctioning. Hence a resistor is used in the name of FUSE in the fluorescent lamp to prevent this sudden loss of the apparatus.


Why does Fluorescent bulb not light and end turns black?

In order to know why fluorescent bulbs turn black at the end, you need to understand how they work. Basically, when you turn on the lighht switch, the ballast sends a spark through the mercury-vapor-filled tube or bulb, depending on design. When it does this, it creates light by activating phosphors that coat the inside of the tube. Well each time the ballast fires, it creates emissions. These emissins materials then settle on the surface inside the glass. After awhile this material piles up. When it does this, the tube end turns completely black. Not only does the tube end turn black, but the accumulated materials pile up so high that it blocks the electrons that flow into the mercury. When this happens, you will notice the bulb or tube flicker heavily and then burn out.


What is the use of choke in the fluorescent tube?

The inductance primarily serves to limit current flow to the correct level for the tube. It also can be used during startup to provide an inductive 'kick' forming a higher-voltage pulse to start the lamp.

Should wattage match fluorescent ballast?

Yes, it is important for the wattage of the fluorescent ballast to match the wattage of the fluorescent tube. Mismatched wattages can result in inefficient operation, reduced lifespan of the bulb, or even damage to the ballast. Always make sure to check and use the appropriate wattage for both the ballast and the tube.


How many t12 florecensent use 200watts?

It depends on the wattage of each T12 fluorescent tube. However, a typical T12 fluorescent tube is around 40 watts. So, if you have a total of 200 watts available, you could power five T12 fluorescent tubes.


Where will a full range of colors be better seen in a room with fluorescent or outside under daylight?

Daylight will have a more complete spectrum. An interesting experiment is to hold a CD close to a fluorescent lamp. The CD will act as a primitive diffraction grating, and you'll see distinct blobs of colour - not a continuous rainbow spectrum. You're seeing the light emitted by the various phosphors in the fluorescent tube.


How much electricity does a 4 tube T8 fluorescent fixture use?

A 4-tube T8 fluorescent fixture typically uses about 96 watts, assuming each T8 tube consumes around 24 watts. However, the actual power consumption can vary slightly based on the ballast and the specific tubes used. It's important to check the specifications of the fixture and the tubes for precise wattage.

What are the steps to follow when replacing a led fluorescent tube?

To replace a LED fluorescent tube, follow these steps: Turn off the power to the fixture. Remove the existing fluorescent tube by twisting and pulling it out. Insert the new LED tube into the fixture, ensuring it is securely in place. Turn the power back on to test the new LED tube.


What color does argon produce in a fluorescent tube?

Argon gas by itself does not produce a specific color in a fluorescent tube. It is typically used as an inert gas filler in fluorescent tubes to prevent degradation of the electrodes and enhance the performance of the tube. The color produced in a fluorescent tube is usually due to the phosphor coating on the interior of the tube, which emits visible light when excited by ultraviolet radiation emitted from the tube's gas discharge.


What are the benefits of using LED fluorescent tube lights over traditional fluorescent tube lights?

LED fluorescent tube lights have several advantages over traditional fluorescent tube lights. They are more energy-efficient, have a longer lifespan, produce less heat, and are more environmentally friendly due to their lower mercury content. Additionally, LED lights offer better color rendering and do not flicker like traditional fluorescent lights.

How much money does 40 watt 4ft fluorescent tube use a year?

To calculate the annual cost of running a 40-watt 4ft fluorescent tube, you need to know the cost of electricity per kilowatt-hour in your area. Usually, a 40-watt fluorescent tube is on for about 8 hours per day, so you would multiply the wattage (40) by the hours/day (8) to get watt-hours per day. Convert that to kilowatt-hours and then multiply by the number of days the light is on per year. Finally, multiply that by the cost per kilowatt-hour to get the annual cost.
