What is a good replacement for overhead fluorescent lights?
The best replacement is a new fluorescent light tube of the right voltage and power.
Can a single pole switch replace a starter in a fluorescent lamp?
No, a single pole switch cannot replace a starter in a fluorescent lamp. The starter is required to initiate the flow of current through the tube, which a switch alone cannot accomplish. The switch is used for turning the lamp on and off once the starter has activated the lamp.
How many t12 florecensent use 200watts?
It depends on the wattage of each T12 fluorescent tube. However, a typical T12 fluorescent tube is around 40 watts. So, if you have a total of 200 watts available, you could power five T12 fluorescent tubes.
Can a two tube fluorescent fixture be wired to have only one tube?
Yes, a two-tube fluorescent fixture can be wired to have only one tube. You would need to disconnect the ballast and sockets for the tube you are removing, and then rewire the remaining tube to the power source. Make sure to follow proper safety procedures and consult an electrician if needed.
Where is the starter located in a fluorescent light fixture?
When the lamp fails to ignite. Starters in fluorescent fixtures is old technology called instant start. Newer fixtures use rapid start ballasts that did away with the starter. Now new fixtures have electronic ballasts and that has done away with the old coil and tar ballasts that, when shorted out used to drip tar all over the inside of the fixture. Love new technology.
How will you test starter and choke in fluorescent tube?
You can use a wire instead of the starter to test the tubes .. I did it, it works !
What would be the effect on the circuit should the starter be taken out the lamp is started?
Once started the fluorescent tube no longer needs the starter. In fact starters are designed to electrically "remove" themselves from the circuit when the fluorescent tube is conducting.
What is the purpose of a fluorescent light starter and how does it contribute to the functioning of a fluorescent light fixture?
A fluorescent light starter is a small device that helps initiate the flow of electricity in a fluorescent light fixture. It contains a small gas discharge tube that helps create the initial spark needed to ionize the gas inside the fluorescent tube. This ionization process allows the electric current to flow through the tube, causing the fluorescent coating to emit light. In summary, the purpose of a fluorescent light starter is to kickstart the flow of electricity in a fluorescent light fixture, enabling it to produce light efficiently.
What are some common troubleshooting steps for fixing issues with fluorescent lights?
Some common troubleshooting steps for fixing issues with fluorescent lights include checking the power supply, replacing the starter or ballast, cleaning the light fixture, and replacing the fluorescent tube.
What are the steps to follow when replacing a led fluorescent tube?
To replace a LED fluorescent tube, follow these steps: Turn off the power to the fixture. Remove the existing fluorescent tube by twisting and pulling it out. Insert the new LED tube into the fixture, ensuring it is securely in place. Turn the power back on to test the new LED tube.
Does a tube light glow without starter?
yes..if we replace magnetic ballast with electronic ballast...there is no need of starter if we use electronic ballast.
Is tube working if you remove stater?
Fluorescent tube with a separate starter? If it's working, you can remove the starter and it will keep going. But if you turn it off, it won't start next time you turn it on.
What would b the effect on the circuit should the starter be taken out after the lamp is started?
Once started the fluorescent tube no longer needs the starter. In fact starters are designed to electrically "remove" themselves from the circuit when the fluorescent tube is conducting.
What is the use of starter what is present inside the starter?
A fluorescent light starter is responsible for initiating the arc in the mercury vapor inside the tube. On fluorescent tubes with filaments at each end it also provides a delay for the filaments to heat up and evaporate mercury before trying to initiate the arc. The arc is initiated by the starter first permitting current to flow through the ballast coil which builds a strong magnetic field, then suddenly the starter opens the circuit which causes the magnetic field in the ballast coil to collapse, producing a strong inductive kickback and a brief high voltage pulse across the fluorescent tube. This high voltage pulse ionizes the mercury vapor causing it to generate an arc and emit UV light. Once the arc is conducting, the fluorescent tube bypasses both the starter and the ballast coil and neither does anything while the light remains on. There are many different designs of starters that perform this same function in different ways (e.g. bimetallic thermal switch, electromagnet switch, electronic starter). In newer systems with an "electronic ballast" there is no separate starter, instead the electronic starter circuit is built directly into the ballast unit and cannot be independently replaced.
Can you use S10 in S2 starter?
An S2 starter is used when wiring 2 fluorescent tubes in series while S10 is used on a single tube
How can I change a fluorescent tube?
To change a fluorescent tube, first turn off the power to the fixture. Then, gently twist and remove the old tube from its sockets. Insert the new tube by aligning the pins with the sockets and twisting it into place. Finally, turn the power back on to test the new tube.
