What else can I help you with?
Do CF light bulbs produce as much heat as incandescent bulbs?
No, compact fluorescent bulbs run much cooler that an incandescent bulb. A CF bulb can be unscrewed when the lamp is on whereas an incandescent will give you a bad burn if this is tried.
How much energy does a CFL light bulb save versus an incandescent bulb?
A CFL light bulb can save about 75% of energy compared to an incandescent bulb. This is because CFLs are more efficient in converting electricity into light, while incandescent bulbs produce more heat than light, resulting in greater energy waste.
What watt fluorescent bulb can you use to replace a 60watt incandescent bulb?
fluorescents are about 5x as efficientso a 12W will give about as much light
Why is an incadescent bulb a very inefficient light source?
An incandescent light bulb is very inefficient light source because of the amount of heat energy wasted when it is energized.
What kind of light bulb gives off the most heat?
Incandescent light bulbs give off the most heat compared to other types of light bulbs because they produce light as a byproduct of heat. This is due to the way they function by passing an electric current through a filament, which heats up and emits light.
Can I get an LED light installed into my incandescent downlight cans?
Yes, absolutely. As long as the LED bulb and incandescent bulb have the same base they will both fit the socket. The LED bulb will also run much cooler than the original incandescent bulb.
How much time would a 60w light bulb to run out of light?
The average lifetime of an incandescent bulb is around 2000 hours.
Do CF light bulbs produce as much heat as incandescent bulbs?
No, compact fluorescent bulbs run much cooler that an incandescent bulb. A CF bulb can be unscrewed when the lamp is on whereas an incandescent will give you a bad burn if this is tried.
How much heat does an incandescent bulb produce when it is turned on?
An incandescent bulb produces heat when turned on, with about 90 of its energy being emitted as heat and only 10 as light.
How much of the electrical energy used to light an incandescent bulb is converted into light energy?
Only about 10% of the electrical energy used to light an incandescent bulb is converted into light energy. The rest is mostly given off as heat.
How much Canadians use the incandescent light bulb?
Only 1 :p :P :
How much was the light bulb in 1879?
Zero, nothing. It wasn't until 1880 that Edison patented the first commercially viable incandescent light bulb.
Why does the incandescent light bulb have such a long name?
Long names are descriptive; they contain information. We could instead call an incandescent lightbulb a light, which is much shorter, but less informative.
How many 75 watt fluorescent bulbs are needed to give as much light as a 75 watt incandescent bulb?
A 15-watt fluorescent should produce about as much light as a 75-watt incandescent.
How much energy does a CFL light bulb save versus an incandescent bulb?
A CFL light bulb can save about 75% of energy compared to an incandescent bulb. This is because CFLs are more efficient in converting electricity into light, while incandescent bulbs produce more heat than light, resulting in greater energy waste.
What watt fluorescent bulb can you use to replace a 60watt incandescent bulb?
fluorescents are about 5x as efficientso a 12W will give about as much light
Why do you think a light bulb feels warm?
A light bulb is designed to take electrical energy and radiate it as electromagnetic energy.It would be nice of all of that energy came out in the form of light, but that has never been accomplished yet. An incandescent light bulb ... the original kind ... radiates much more heatenergy than light energy. In other words, an incandescent light bulb works much more efficientlyas a heater than it does as a source of light.
