Which sources of visible light can be cool to the touch?
Any efficient one can. The inefficient ones are those that turn most of their fuel or electricity into heat, and only a small part of it into light. A few efficient light sources are: -- CFL bulbs -- fluorescent minerals -- fluorescent light tubes -- the hind end of fireflies
Why do you use compact fluorescent lamps instead of incandescent bulbs?
A compact fluorescent lamp or CFL has the advantage of consuming less power.It works in the same way as a fluorescent tube light however it is made in a much more compact shape. This means CFLs can be used to replace ordinary light bulbs which have incandescent filaments.If you replace your ordinary light bulbs with CFLs they will use only 20% (one fifth) of the energy to give you the same amount of light output.More informationEnergy-saving lamps, such as normal and compact fluorescents, save a lot of money compared to normal lamps which have an incandescent filament because of the fact that fluorescents don't use a high-temperature filament that produces more heat energy than light energy.Mainly because they run "cool", a fluorescent lamp uses only about one fifth - 1/5 - of the electrical energy used by a lamp that has a hot, incandescent filament.Put another way, you can use five fluorescent lamps, each giving out the same amount of light as one incandescent, for only the same total electricity running costs.Another good thing about fluorescent lamps is that they have a useful life that is between 5 and 10 times longer than an incandescent lamp, saving even more money over a period of years.
Are fluorescent lights cool or warm?
Fluorescent lights are typically cool-toned, which means they emit a bluish-white light. This cool light temperature is often used in office spaces, schools, and hospitals to promote alertness and productivity.
What is the main difference between an incandescent light bulb and compact fluorscent light bulb?
An incandescent bulb differs from a fluorescent based on how it produces light. "Incandescent" means producing light through heat, this is essentially how an incandescent bulb lights. As current travels to the tungsten filament, the filament heats and lights up as the tungsten filament begins to deteriorate and eventually fail. Fluorescent bulbs produce light when current excites gasses inside the glass envelope. As the gasses get excited they emit photons. Interestingly, the light produced by a fluorescent bulb does not fall along the visible spectrum until it passes through the white, phosphor coating on the inside of the bulb. And there you have it.
What are some cool things to do with old light bulbs?
Some cool things to do with old light bulbs include turning them into mini terrariums, creating decorative vases or planters, or transforming them into unique hanging decorations.

Can I put a UV bulb to power a lava lamp?
The dark black incandescent type UV bulbs will work as they actually get hotter than the equivalent standard incandescent bulb of the same wattage, but the compact fluorescent type UV bulbs run too cool.
What are the best low light fluorescent bulbs for indoor plants?
The best low light fluorescent bulbs for indoor plants are typically those labeled as "cool white" or "warm white" with a color temperature of around 3000-4000 Kelvin. These bulbs provide the right spectrum of light for plant growth in low light conditions.
Do fluorescent lights produce heat?
Yes, fluorescent lights produce some heat when they are on, but significantly less compared to incandescent bulbs. The majority of the energy consumed by fluorescent lights is converted into visible light, making them more energy-efficient.
How can I effectively change fluorescent light bulbs to ensure proper lighting in my space?
To effectively change fluorescent light bulbs for proper lighting, follow these steps: Turn off the power, let the bulbs cool, remove the cover, twist and remove the old bulb, insert the new bulb, twist to secure, replace the cover, and turn the power back on.
Can i use a fluorescent cool white bulb in a regular desk lamp if not what type of lamp?
I take it you are referring to a screw in compact fluorescent lamp, am I right? If it screws in the socket and does not touch the metal with the glass part then it was made for the lamp. To see various size CFL lamps for lamps for any light socket visit Bright Commercial Lighting Facebook page. Order the size that will fit your lamp to see better and save energy to.
What settings does Cuisinart CPT-120 Compact Cool-Touch 2-Slice Toaster have?
Your setting a temp very much like a toaster oven.
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.
When was Cool Touch created?
Cool Touch was created in 1990.
