CFLs have two main components: a magnetic or electronic ballast and a gas-filled tube (also called bulb or burner). Replacement of magnetic ballasts with electronic ballasts has allowed the development of smaller lamps directly interchangeable with more sizes of incandescent bulb.
Electronic ballasts contain a small circuit board with rectifiers, a filter capacitor and usually two switching transistors. The incoming AC current is first rectified to DC, then converted to high frequency AC by the transistors, connected as a resonant series DC to AC inverter. The resulting high frequency is applied to the lamp tube. Since the resonant converter tends to stabilize lamp current (and light produced) over a range of input voltages, standard CFLs do not respond well in dimming applications and special lamps are required for dimming service
What else can I help you with?
Why choke used in dc drives?
choke is used before drives to reduce the source supply fluctuation problem , which will effect drives
Can you reverse polarity on a light?
Yes, with a retroreflector. One form of a retroreflector is 3 mirrors all mutually perpendicular like the corner of a cube.
What is the lumen of 23 watt CFL?
A 23 watt cfl will give off roughly 1600 lumens. However that is only within a few inches of the bulb.
What of these is not a smart strategy to save energy and costs in new and existing homes?
One strategy that is not effective for saving energy and costs in new and existing homes is relying solely on traditional incandescent light bulbs. These bulbs consume significantly more energy compared to energy-efficient options like LED or CFL bulbs, leading to higher electricity bills. Additionally, they have a shorter lifespan, requiring more frequent replacements, which can increase overall costs. Investing in modern lighting solutions and energy-efficient appliances is a much smarter approach.
Why choke coil is used in tube light?
To limit the current through the lamp when the gas ionises and conducts.
Can CFL light bulbs be used in recessed lighting?
Yes, CFL light bulbs can be used in recessed lighting.
Are CFL bulbs ever used in landscape lighting - and why or why not?
CFL bulbs are definitely used in landscape lighting. The are very energy efficient and are often paired with motion sensors.
What can one use CFL lamps for?
CFL stands for Compact Fluorescent Lamp, and they are an energy-efficient alternative to incandescent bulbs. CFL lamps can be used to replace these bulbs, and they can be placed both indoors and outdoors.
Is there a dimmable CFL bulb that can be used with an electronic dimmer?
Compact fluorescent bulbs used to be all or nothing. They couldn't be dimmed. Most cfl lamps (bulbs) are this kind. However, special cfl bulbs are now being marketed, at a higher price, that can be dimmed by a normal dimmer switch previously used for incandescent bulbs. However, not all dimmer switches work with these newer dimmable cfl lamps.
What is the fullform of cfl?
The fulform of CFL bulbs is compact fluorecent light
Do you need a special switch for CFL?
Yes, it is recommended to use a special dimmer switch that is compatible with CFL bulbs. Regular dimmer switches may not work effectively with CFL bulbs and can cause flickering or buzzing noises. Look for a dimmer switch that is specifically labeled as compatible with CFL bulbs.
What are some recessed lighting models that use the new CFL bulbs?
Most recessed lighting will use a CFL as you can now get much smaller CFL bulbs. The Juno Lighting Group ICPL626E (65$) and the Halo H272ICAT (40$) are both designed to use CFL bulbs.
Where can one find more information about CFL bulbs?
The term CFL bulbs stands for Compact Flourescent Bulbs. You can find general information on sites such as Wikipedia or you can look at CFL's for sale at online stores such as Lightbulbs-direct and LampShopOnline.
What veggies grow best under CFL bulbs indoors?
The veggies grow best under CFL bulbs indoors are herbs and tomato.
Why are CFL bulbs bad to use?
yes and no
Are CFL bulbs autovolt?
No, compact fluorescent light bulbs generally are not autovolt.
What track lighting models use CFL bulbs?
All track lighting models can use CFL bulbs. The important thing is that you get the correct CFL bulb as you must get the CFL bulbs that are designed for base up use like you find in track lights, pendant lights and recessed lighting. If the track lights are dimmable you also want to be sure to get a dimmable CFL bulb.
