Can??? Sure, you'd just need to come up with a waterproof enclosure.
But the problem is, many fluorescent fixtures don't work well when the temperature drops. Yes you can use fluorescent fixtures outside, they should be approved for the purpose and make sure they have 0 degree rated ballast for cold weather starting. The new electronic type ballast work in cold weather with no problems.
it all depends on the voltage the light bulb can sustain.
You can replace your incandescent light bulbs with compact fluorescent bulbs, turn off the light when you leave the room. You can turn the water off when your brushing your teeth, and take faster showers.
All high-intensity discharge (HID) bulbs, and all fluorescent bulbs, require a ballast, which is a device that limits current. It can raise the voltage and/or heat the bulb cathodes.
Well, if they're both 40 watt bulbs they use the same amount of electricity. But incandescent bulbs produce a lot of heat as well as light. Fluorescent bulbs don't produce (much) heat, so they can use their power to produce light. So you can use fluorescent bulbs of lower wattage to produce the same amount of light.So for the same amount of light, fluorescent bulbs use less electricity than incandescent bulbs.
Yes, with a retroreflector. One form of a retroreflector is 3 mirrors all mutually perpendicular like the corner of a cube.
The best types of light bulbs for outdoor lighting are LED bulbs and compact fluorescent bulbs. They are energy-efficient, long-lasting, and provide bright illumination for outdoor spaces.
fluorescent, LEDs
Fluorescent light bulbs use less electricity for the amount of light produced.
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.
No, incandescent bulbs produce more heat than fluorescent bulbs. Incandescent bulbs generate light by heating a filament, which also emits heat. Fluorescent bulbs produce less heat because they use electricity to excite gas inside the bulb, which then emits light.
not all incandescent lamps (bulbs) can be replaced by fluorescent lamps because there are some applications where there is no acceptable or equivalent fluorescent lamp. In some cases, other technologies may be useful--HID or LED lamps. There are some applications where the incandescent source, especially the tungsten-halogen type, still rules.
They are known as CFL bulbs. It stands for Compact Fluorescent Lamps.
Incandescent bulbs use 75-100 watts. Fluorescent bulbs use around 10 watts. LED bulbs usually use 1 watt.
Yes, it is possible to replace fluorescent bulbs with LED bulbs. LED bulbs are energy-efficient and have a longer lifespan than fluorescent bulbs, making them a popular choice for lighting upgrades.
Fluorescent bulbs, or LED-based bulbs.
To test fluorescent bulbs for functionality and efficiency, you can use a digital multimeter to check for continuity and voltage. Additionally, you can use a fluorescent tube tester to measure the bulb's output and ensure it is working properly.
Fluorescent bulb is the more efficient one as compared to incandescent bulbs.
