Can an incondescent lamp dimmer be used to control a fluorescent lamp load?

No, incandescent lamp dimmers are not compatible with fluorescent lamps. Fluorescent lamps require special dimming ballasts to control their light output. Attempting to use an incandescent lamp dimmer with a fluorescent lamp can cause damage to the lamp and dimmer.


Can we use fluorescent lamp in dc?

Yes, fluorescent lamps may be powered by DC but they need a DC lamp controller instead of an AC ballast and starter. The DC lamp controller is more complex. I have a 12V lantern with fluorescent lamp tubes.


Can you put a fluorescent bulb in your floor lamp?

Yes, you can use a fluorescent bulb in a floor lamp as long as the bulb fits the lamp's socket and wattage requirements. Make sure to check the lamp's specifications to ensure compatibility and consider the lighting quality and intensity of the fluorescent bulb for your needs.


Can 32 watt t12 fluorescent lamps be used where a 40 watt t12 fluorescent lamp was used?

Yes, you can use a 32 watt T12 fluorescent lamp in a fixture that previously housed a 40 watt T12 fluorescent lamp. However, the light output will be slightly lower. It's advisable to check the fixture's compatibility with the lower wattage lamp to ensure proper performance.


What type of a ballast do compact fluorescent lamps use?

Compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs) use electronic ballasts, which regulate the flow of current to the lamp. These ballasts provide benefits such as improved energy efficiency, reduced flicker, and a quieter operation compared to magnetic ballasts.

Information on CFL light bulbs?

A compact fluorescent lamp (CFL), also called compact fluorescent light, energy-saving light, and compact fluorescent tube, is a fluorescent lamp designed to replace an incandescent lamp; some types fit into light fixtures formerly used for incandescent lamps. The lamps use a tube which is curved or folded to fit into the space of an incandescent bulb, and a compact electronic ballast in the base of the lamp.

Compact fluorescent lamps have made a lot of changes in the lighting sector it is also changed from a fluorescent lamp to compact fluorescent lamps but still it is dependent on the ballast Why?

A ballast is an electrical component used with a fluorescent bulb (or mercury vapor lamp or arc lamp) to conduct electricity at each end of the tube. Compact fluorescent light bulbs are dependent on ballast because they use a gas to create light. when the gas is excited by electricity, it emits invisible ultraviolet light that hits the white coating inside the fluorescent bulb. The coating changes the ultraviolet light into light you can see.


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.
