What else can I help you with?
Can you use a 400w hps bulb with a f96t12 ballast?
No, you cannot use a 400W HPS bulb with an F96T12 ballast. The F96T12 ballast is designed for fluorescent tubes, specifically T12 bulbs, and does not provide the appropriate electrical characteristics needed to operate a high-pressure sodium (HPS) bulb. HPS bulbs require a specific ballast designed for their wattage and type to function correctly and safely.
What form of helium is filled in helium cylinders?
Gas under high pressure
Lumen output of a 250 watt high pressure sodium bulb?
A 250 watt high pressure sodium bulb typically has a lumen output of around 28,000 to 30,000 lumens.
How is a fluorescent light made?
A fluorescent bulb uses a completely different method to produce light. There are electrodes at both ends of a fluorescent tube, and a gas containing argon and mercury vapor is inside the tube. A stream of electrons flows through the gas from one electrode to the other (in a manner similar to the stream of electrons in a cathode ray tube). These electrons bump into the mercury atoms and excite them. As the mercury atoms move from the excited state back to the unexcited state, they give off ultraviolet photons. These photons hit the phosphor coating the inside of the fluorescent tube, and this phosphor creates visible light. It sounds complicated, so lets go through it again in slow motion:There is a stream of electrons flowing between the electrodes at both ends of the fluorescent bulb.The electrons interact with mercury vapor atoms floating inside the bulb.The mercury atoms become excited, and when they return to an unexcited state they release photons of light in the ultraviolet region of the spectrum.These ultraviolet photons collide with the phosphor coating the inside of the bulb, and the phosphor creates visible light.The phosphor fluoresces to produce light.A fluorescent bulb produces less heat, so it is much more efficient. A fluorescent bulb can produce between 50 and 100 lumens per watt. This makes fluorescent bulbs four to six times more efficient than incandescent bulbs. That's why you can buy a 15-watt fluorescent bulb that produces the same amount of light as a 60-watt incandescent bulb.
Will it damage a compact fluorescent bulb if one has a dimmer switch but keeps the dimmer set as high as possible?
Fluorescent bulbs can't be dimmed. It takes a certain amount of electricity to get them to come on. Probably about half way on the switch. As long as it has that much it should light. The switch however doesn't like it and will burn out quicker than with regular bulbs. The bulb doesn't care, it is either lit or not. Thanks. I just went ahead and installed a standard light switch. Everything is working fine and energy efficient. ~ CheeseKing
Is a fluorescent bulb is filled with gas at a high pressure?
No, just an inert gas and mercury vapor at close to atmospheric pressure. Without the inert gas it would be near vacuum, as very little mercury is needed.
What are the different types of light?
Incandescent Lamps Light Emitting Diode Neon Lamps Fluorescent Tubes Compact Fluorescent Lamps Halogen Lamps Metal Halide Lamps High Intensity Discharge Lamps Low Pressure Sodium Lamps High Pressure Sodium Lamps
Can you use a 70 watt high pressure sodium bulb in a 150 watt ballast?
No, you can not use a 150 watt high pressure sodium bulb with a 70 watt ballast.
Does a 400W high pressure sodium bulb have silver in it?
The 400W high pressure Sodium bulb contains a silver lining inside the frame to give better reflection of light. However, no silver is found inside the bulb.
What form of helium is filled in helium cylinders?
Gas under high pressure
Which property is not important when selecting a material to use as a light bulb?
High vapor pressure
Do you need a ballast for every type of HID bulb?
All high-intensity discharge (HID) bulbs, and all fluorescent bulbs, require a ballast, which is a device that limits current. It can raise the voltage and/or heat the bulb cathodes.
Which high intensity disharge bulb do you use to grow weed?
The bulb should be in the red end of the light spectrum. One HID lamp is the high pressure sodium lamp.
Is pharmacy technician a high pressure job?
Yes. You have to be sure that the prescription is filled EXACTLY.
Can a 400 watt hps bulb be used in a regular lamp?
No high pressure lbs require a specific ballasts to operate the bulb correctly
What is CFL mhl and hpmv lamps?
The abbreviations are CFL - Compact Fluorescent Lamp, MHL - Metal Halide Lamp, HPMV - High Pressure Mercury Vapor, and one more is HPS - High Pressure Sodium lamp
Why do you use starter for an incandescent lamp?
The starter will send a delayed high voltage electricity to the gas within the fluorescent bulb that cause the gas to be ionized and conduct electricity.
