What else can I help you with?
What is more efficient a 120V 13W fluorescent bulb or a 12V 50W halogen bulb?
Fluorescents are always 3-4 times more efficient than halogens which are a version of incandescent bulb.
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
What is the LED equivalent of a 35 Watt halogen bulb?
Incandescents produce 10 lumens per watt, halogens about 13 lumens per watt, fluorescents and LEDs 40-50 lumens per watt. Lumens measure the brightness, watts measure the speed at which electrical energy is used.
What are the different types of ceiling light fixtures?
Most fluorescent lights are linear in shape, but some are u shaped, and others (the compact fluorescents) are bent into various other shapes. Fluorescent lights come in a variety of lengths, a variety of voltage, a variety of light colors (all are more or less white, but the white can be tinged with varying degrees of other colors), a variety of tube diameter, differing quantities of mercury, a variety of brightness, a variety of socket types (some have one pin on each end, some have two, and the compact fluorescents are designed to screw into a socet the same way an incandescent bulb does). All these differences come in various combinations, so that there are literally thousands of different types of fluorescent lights.
What environmental effect do LEDs have?
They are extremely efficient in their use of energy for producing light. Better even than compact fluorescents, and they do not liberate mercury into the einvironment over their lifetime as CFs do. There are some adverse effects in their manufacture, and eventual disposal... as with any "product".
What kind of conductor do neon signs use?
fluorescents.[;
What impact have fluorescents had on the ozone layer?
Fluorescent have had an impact on ozone. They do destroy it.
How much energy does a fluorescent bulb save in a year?
Fluorescents do offer some savings, but the new way to go is through the Green bulbs. Fluorescents provide a hermonic sound that can provide health problems including headaches and migrains.
What ultra-bright colors were big in 1990's fashion?
PCH: Fluorescents
How much heat and power does a T8 tube light make?
Depending on the length, between 30 and 60 Watts of power for fluorescents and around 10 Watts for LED T8'sHeat is negligible for the LEDs, and almost negligible for Fluorescents*exact numbers not available at the moment.
Fluorescents for commercial lighting?
Fluorescent lighting is the number one used lighting used in offices. You can find out more at PG&E.com.
Are fluorescent lights harmful to your health?
Some people can actually see a strobing effect when they use fluorescent lights and they drive them nuts. Standard fluorescents have a very yellow-green glaring distortion in their color spectrum. Doing detailed work under them can be really hard on the eyes. I only use 5500-6500K full spectrum fluorescents because they are the most natural light you can get, even better than incandescent (which is high in yellows and reds). Full spectrum fluorescents help me match colors and is easier on my eyes than other types of light when I use the computer. When you stare at the screen and look away it's better for your eyes if the ambient light is as natural as possible. Full spectrum fluorescents are used in the treatment of S.A.D. (seasonal affective disorder, or seasonal depression) so they can be good for you.
What type of light bulbs are the best for bathrooms?
32watt fluorescents are the best light bulbs because they create soft and even lighting with no shadows.
How do LED tube lights replace fluorescents?
LED tube lights replace fluorescents by using light-emitting diodes (LEDs) instead of fluorescent tubes to produce light. LEDs are more energy-efficient, have a longer lifespan, and do not contain harmful chemicals like mercury, making them a more environmentally friendly and cost-effective lighting option.
What is the difference from a fluorescent light bulb than a incandenscent light bulb?
Fluorescents are curly-cues, where as incandescents are the classic (now banned) bubble-shaped ones.
Which light bulb type uses the least energy leading to fewer greenhouse gas emissions?
compact fluorescents are lowest in energy use for most houshold applications
If you have 6 60watt lamps and a 40 watt T12 4 foot fluorescents can you grow atleast 2 plants in a 3 foot by 3 foot growing area?
Yes you can.
