It's the 40W tube! because it's nonlinear: indeed it generates harmonics which increase the apparent power and thus the apparent energy.
Because an 'ordinary' bulb has a metal filament which glows through resisting the electricity flowing through it. This eventually weakens the filament and it breaks. The 'energy-saver' bulbs are basically miniature fluorescent tubes - these have electrodes at either end of the tube which generate electricity, this 'excites' the molecules of the fluorescent coating - producing light. They only fail when there's no more coating inside the tube - which means they last MUCH longer !
Florescent tube
You may use electronic bulb of any kind in your street. It is entirely depends upon your choice but the main thing you should keep in mind that their light should be of white color like tube light. Because it will be more difficult to see things in some other color other then the white one.
The function of any ballast in a lighting fixture is to raise the voltage high enough to strike an arc through the bulb or tube.
No it will not. If you need increase the supply voltage and remove the choke.
In a T* ballast and T8 bulb more energy efficient then a T12 ballast and a T8 bulb? A:Depends on the CURRENT through the tube. When the Tube is run at 100% of rating, The T12 Takes more CURRENT to give a certain Brightness. Because the surface of the T8 is closer to the ion stream through the tube, it takes less CURRENT to light up the T8 to the same brightness. However, IF you use a T12 in a T8 ballast, you will get LESS CURRENT through the tube, and LESS POWER consumed ALONG with LESS Light.
When a tube light is turned on, electrical energy is converted into light energy and heat energy. The electricity passing through the tube light ionizes the gas inside the tube, which then emits light. Some of the electrical energy is also converted into heat energy due to resistance in the circuit and the inefficiency of the light production process.
Tube light bulbs are more energy-efficient and have a longer lifespan compared to traditional incandescent light bulbs. They also produce less heat and provide a more consistent and even light distribution.
Tube LED light bulbs have several benefits compared to traditional light bulbs. They are more energy-efficient, have a longer lifespan, produce less heat, and are more environmentally friendly due to their lower energy consumption and lack of toxic materials like mercury.
A dropper simply is a small tube with a air-filled bulb at the top. You squeeze the bulb at the top and whatever substance the tube is submerged in, it will be pulled up into the tube. After that, you lightly squeeze the bulb again to release the substance in the tube out.
A Tube-light !
A tube light casts a dim shadow compared to a bulb because the light emitted by a fluorescent tube is more diffused and spread out, resulting in softer edges and less contrast in the shadow. Conversely, a bulb emits light in all directions, including towards the shadow, creating a sharper and darker outline.
A Compact Fluorescent Lamp (CFL) is type of energy-saving bulb made from a small glass tube which is filled with mercury vapour. It has a phosphorescent coating on the inside of the tube which glows...
LED tube light bulbs have several advantages over traditional fluorescent tube lights. They are more energy-efficient, have a longer lifespan, produce less heat, and contain no harmful mercury. Additionally, LED tube light bulbs provide better light quality and can be easily dimmed or controlled for different settings.
Sensitivity of a thermometer is the length of increase of the liquid per degree rise in temperature. More sensitive means more noticeable expansion. So if you want to increase the sensitivity, you could have a thinner capillary tube, a larger thermometer bulb etc. :)sailesh
Whether you'll save energy depends on how you will use the lighting. Tube lights tend to draw a high current when they "start up". If you intend on leaving them on for long periods of time then yes, you will probably save energy. But if you use them to turn them on and off a lot in a short period of time I would say no. That's the reason why a lot of big office buildings in big cities like New York never turn off their tube lighting at night.
The best lighting options for a room that require an F40 bulb are fluorescent tube lights. These lights are energy-efficient and provide bright, even lighting for the room.
