The same procedure is used to wire a Mercury vapour fixture as it is a normal home fixture. First the voltage source is needed and has to match the voltage that is on the nameplate of the mercury vapour fixture. The amperage of the fixture has to be taken into consideration, also taken from the fixtures nameplate. Once the amperage is known then the decision is whether one or more fixtures will be placed on the same circuit. When the total amperage is decided on, it will be that amperage that decides what size conductors will be used and what size breaker will be used to protect the circuit. Next decision is how you want to control the fixture. There are two methods depending on where the fixture will be placed. If it is outside then a photo cell with a bypass switch ahead of the cell is the most common configuration. If the fixture is an indoor type then just a wall switch will be used to control the fixture.

What happens when you disconnect the wire from the battery?
Disconnecting a wire from a battery would break the circuit. If the battery was powering a bulb, the lamp would go out.
How do you wire fog lights in series and parallel with only one relay?
You typically do not want to wire it in series because if one bulb goes bad then the other lights will be off too. If you remember older Xmas lights, one of the bulb is burnt then the rest would tunrned off. To wire it parallel, you must splice your wires to the same amount of bulbs you are going to use. Connect all positive wire terminals to each bulb then ground the other side of bulbs. This way when one of them goes out, the others will remain lit.
Why did your headlights blow?
1. End of life on the bulbs 2. Incorrect wattage of the bulb used 3. Fuse problem 4. Wire problem
How do you wire a sub in a Saturn sc?
Connect the sub woofer to the equalizer or amplifier. The positive wire will need to be connected to a power source. Connect the ground wire. Connect the auxiliary wire to the amplifier.
A loop of wire is placed within a magnetic field If the loop of wire is stationary as is the magnetic field will a current be induced in the wire?
No it will not. In order to get electrical activity you need motion. Either the magnet or the wire must move.
Will two batteries and a wire make a light bulb light?
first of all, you need a bulb, a wire, and ONE light bulb. You clip the wire on the battery and touch the wire on the bottom of the light bulb
How do street lights produce light?
They produce light by using mercury vapor :D=======================Answer #2:Some (not many) pass electric current through mercury vapor, causing it to glow violet.Some pass electric current through sodium vapor, causing it to glow yellow.Some pass electric current through a thin wire, causing it to heat and glow ...a process is identical to that in every incandescent light bulb in your house.Some burn natural gas.
How does a light bulb works in detail Does anyone know please help me?
What kind of light bulb? There are many kinds.Standard incandescent: A wire is heated by electric current until it glows white hot. The wire is typically Tungsten in modern bulbs because of it high melting temperature. Low wattage bulbs are at vacuum, but high wattage bulbs are filled with an inert gas like Argon to conduct excess heat away to the envelope faster.Halogen incandescent: One problem with standard incandescent bulbs is slow evaporation of the hot wire in the bulb and the condensation of the metal vapor onto the envelope. This makes the bulb slowly darken and eventually the wire breaks causing the bulb to burn out. By using a quartz envelope instead of glass, filling the bulb with a halogen gas, and operating at very high power (>150W) this process can be slowed: the halogen gas scavenges metal deposited on the envelope and deposits it back on the very hot wire. These bulbs are both very bright and last ~10 times as long as standard incandescent bulbs @ only 2 to 3 times the price.Standard fluorescent: These are basically mercury vapor arc-lamps - UV black-lights with a coating of phosphor (not phosphorus!) to convert the UV to usable visible light. They need a large ballast transformer and a starter switch to initially strike the mercury vapor arc when turned on. This makes them large, bulky, and expensive. But the bulbs usually last many years.Compact fluorescent: These are also basically mercury vapor arc-lamps with a coating of phosphor, like standard fluorescents. However to reduce size and cost a miniaturized electronic ballast/self-starter is built into the base.LED: These use Light Emitting Diodes. They last virtually forever, but individual bulbs still cost ~$40.Standard mercury vapor street light: These are high pressure mercury vapor arc lamps, but unlike the mercury vapor arc of fluorescent bulbs they give off bright white light directly, from the heat of the arc.High pressure sodium vapor street light: These are a more efficient version of the mercury vapor street light, but using sodium vapor instead of mercury vapor.Low pressure sodium vapor street light: These are a variant of the sodium vapor street light, but with low pressure sodium vapor. They give off a yellow light with a narrow one line spectrum, they are usually used at the request of nearby observatories to allow them to see the sky without interference of bright city lights.Neon sign lights: these use various inert noble gasses in a high voltage arc discharge to produce colored light. Typically used for signage.
What makes a series circit?
you need to have wire batery and bulb
What components do you need to make a simple series light bulb?
You need a Battery, Light Bulb, Ammeter, Switch.
How do you wire a high watt light to a battery?
Need more information. Wattage of bulb, voltage of bulb, voltage of battery and wire size of the circuit.
1987 Mercury Cougar has LCD speedometer and it does not illuminate is there a bulb that illuminates the display or does entire display need to be replaced?
there is a bad connection with a wire behind the pannel. you have to take the pannel off and check.
Why do we need a complete circuit for the bulb to light?
Its a power source such as a battery - Wire from the Positive on the battery to one contact on the lamp and a wire from the Negative of the battery to the other contact on the bulb
Where do you connect the blue wire on the tachometer for the bulb?
The blue wire is usually just an auxiliary wire. The blue wire does not need to be connected. Tape the end of the blue wire off.
What metal is used in electric light bulbs?
This is different depending on the type of bulb. Most bulbs copper or kovar (or other alloy with thermal expansion rate matching that of glass) wires are used for connections.tungsten wire is used in incandescent bulbs for the filamentmercury liquid (which evaporates to form mercury vapor) is used in fluorescent bulbs and tubes as well as mercury vapor streetlight bulbssodium vapor is used in both high pressure sodium and low pressure sodium streetlight bulbstungsten studs are used as discharge electrodes in HID car headlight bulbsetc.
What size wire needed to power 100 watt bulb?
In a floor lamp or table lamp a #16 wire is what you need.
How to change an MR16 bulb fast?
You will need pliers to remove the wire strip that keeps the light in the socket, then remove the lens. Carefully remove the bulb making sure there is not power in the light then replaces the bulb and reattach the lens and wire.
