If a fluorescent lamp is labeled 6500 oK that is the color temperature of the light it emits.
<><><>
The number 6500 refers to the temperature (measured in degrees Kelvin) at which a specific theoretical material (referred to as "black body") will glow the color of sunlight at noon.
What else can I help you with?
How is power factor improved in fluorescent lamps?
the old ones with transformers you can correct with capacitors incandescent lamps have unity power factor the newer florescent ballasts are closer to unity but tend more towards capacitance
Can lamp work only on ac?
Depends. Lamps can certainly be built to work on either AC, or DC, or both. But some lamps, particularly those with electronics in them, either a dimmable lamp, or a fluorescent lamp, may only work with one type of electricity.
In consideration of final circuits and maximum demand calculate the steady state current requirement of a 240V circuit supplying eight 65W fluorescent lamps?
8x65x1.8/240=
What are the different gases introduced into fluorescent lamps that give them their specific colors?
I think that you may be confusing fluorescent tubes with neon tubes. Fluorescent tubes use a phosphor coating on the inside of the lamp which is in a limited spectrum. Some tubes are cool white, warm white, and daylight. There is also a gro lux which is on the warm end of the spectrum used for growing indoor plants.
What would be the effect on the circuit if the starter was taken out after the fluorescent lamp is started?
A; fluorescent lamps needs 500 v to start once started the voltage drops to ~90 v the starter perform the kicking to get to 500 volts without it it will not start so taking it out after it started that is when it is not longer needed
Which can give light similar to natural sunlight an incandascent or fluorescent lamp?
Neither incandescent nor fluorescent lamps can provide light exactly similar to natural sunlight. However, fluorescent lamps are closer in color temperature to natural sunlight compared to incandescent lamps. LED lamps with a color temperature of around 5000-6500K are the closest artificial option to mimic natural sunlight.
What is the difference between daylight fluorescent and cool white fluorescent?
Daylight Fluorescent lamps have bluish-white illuminance, whereas coolwhite fluorescent lamps have yellowish-white illuminance.
What are the different types of light?
Incandescent Lamps Light Emitting Diode Neon Lamps Fluorescent Tubes Compact Fluorescent Lamps Halogen Lamps Metal Halide Lamps High Intensity Discharge Lamps Low Pressure Sodium Lamps High Pressure Sodium Lamps
What is a 6500K fluorescent bulb?
It's a bulb with more blue light in it, to better match the light that natural sunlight emits.
What is the color temperature of fluorescent lights?
The color temperature of fluorescent lights typically ranges from 2700K to 6500K, with cooler temperatures appearing more blue and warmer temperatures appearing more yellow.
How hot do fluorescent lamps get?
Fluorescent lamps can reach temperatures between 150-250 degrees Fahrenheit during operation. The heat is mainly generated by the electrodes and the ballast of the lamp. It is important to handle fluorescent lamps carefully to avoid burns.
What are the different types of fluorescent bulbs available in the market?
The different types of fluorescent bulbs available in the market include compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs), linear fluorescent tubes, and high-intensity discharge (HID) lamps.
Where can cheap dimmable compact fluorescent lamps be purchased?
One can purchase cheap dimmable compact fluorescent lamps from various retailers. The website lamps-on-line offers such lamps and ebay is always a good place to find them.
Why are fluorescent lamps brighter than filament lamps?
Fluorescent lamps are brighter than filament lamps because they produce light through a different mechanism. Fluorescent lamps use a gas discharge process that generates light by exciting mercury vapor inside the tube, resulting in a more efficient light output compared to the incandescent process used in filament lamps. This efficiency allows fluorescent lamps to produce more lumens per watt, making them appear brighter.
Do T-12 fluorescent lamps explode?
T-12 fluorescent lamps can shatter or burst rather than explode. This may occur if the lamp is damaged or if there is a sudden change in temperature or pressure. It is always advisable to handle fluorescent lamps carefully and dispose of them properly to avoid accidents.
What are the different fluorescent color temperatures available for lighting options?
Fluorescent lighting options are available in different color temperatures, including warm white (2700-3000K), cool white (3500-4100K), and daylight (5000-6500K).
Compare the compact fluorescent lamp and the ordinary fluorescent lamp which has fewer spare parts?
"Compact fluorescent lamps" (or, more commonly CFLs) sold direct to consumers for installation in a standard screw-in socket have an integral ballast built into the base. The ballast converts and controls the line voltage from the socket to properly drive the fluorescent lamp. Ballasts are generally fairly complex circuitry. All fluorescent lamps require a ballast. However, most lamps used commercially ("ordinary fluorescent lamps") do not have the ballasts built into them; rather, the ballasts are hidden somewhere in the fixture.
