What else can I help you with?
Can one replace a tungsten bulb with a compact fluorescent bulb?
Yes, if it fits the socket and the light fitting, or lamp fixture, with its cover or shade. You will not be able to dim the compact fluorescent as you did the incandescent (unless you have a really fancy dimmer).
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.
Which bulbs consume less energy?
Common indoors type light bulbs, from most efficient to least efficient: regular size tubular fluorescent lamps with electronic ballasts CFLs (compact florescent lamps) fluorescent lamps with reactive ballasts (old type of ballast) incandescent halogen lamps incandescent tungsten lamps
Does twist and lock bulb used to replace fluorescent?
Yes, twist and lock bulbs can be used to replace fluorescent bulbs. Make sure to check that the base type and size of the twist and lock bulb are compatible with the fixture. Additionally, ensure the wattage and light output are suitable for the specific application.
Do incandescent bulbs give off a lot of heat?
This is a trick question because the person asking it expects you to not know much. He or she is expecting you to say 'yes, because its too hot to touch'. But really, there are many many things that need to be considered when you say 'a lot of heat'. If you are comparing incandesent bulbs with florescent bulbs that give off the same amount of light measured in lumens, at say 20 degrees celcius, then answer is that the incandescent bulb gives off more heat. But if you vary the size of the bulb, the shape of the bulb, the location of the bulb, the environment of the bulb, the wattage of the bulb, or many other things, you can have an incandescent bulb that does not 'give off a lot of heat'.
Can one replace a tungsten bulb with a compact fluorescent bulb?
Yes, if it fits the socket and the light fitting, or lamp fixture, with its cover or shade. You will not be able to dim the compact fluorescent as you did the incandescent (unless you have a really fancy dimmer).
Shouldn't a lamp always be able safely to accept up to a 40W compact fluorescent light bulb if it is rated to accept a 40W incandescent light bulb--barring any physical size contraints?
Yes, your assumption is correct. Lamp fixtures are rated on how well they dissipate the heat given off from an incandescent light bulb. As CFL lamps run much cooler there is no problem using them in the same rated fixture that is incandescent rated.
What affects brightness of bulb?
The brightness of a bulb is primarily affected by its wattage, which determines the amount of energy it consumes. Additionally, the type of bulb used (incandescent, LED, fluorescent) and its design (filament size, lumens output) can also impact the brightness. The surrounding environment, such as the presence of dimmer switches or lamp shades, can further influence the perceived brightness of a bulb.
Are South African incandescent light bulb fittings the same size as in the US?
yes
What is the radius of light bulb?
The radius of a light bulb can vary depending on the type and size of the bulb. Standard incandescent bulbs typically have a radius of around 1 inch, while smaller bulbs like LED or compact fluorescent bulbs can have radii as small as 0.25 inches. Specialty bulbs or larger bulbs may have larger radii.
Change the Light Bulbs!?
Still using incandescent light bulbs? If so, you're wasting electricity and your electric bill will no doubt show it. Fluorescent lighting is far from new, but the way the bulbs are shaped, is. There was a time when you couldn't buy a fluorescent light bulb to fit many existing lamps and fixtures. Someone must have heard us complain, because now you can find fluorescent bulbs in almost any shape and size. A simple and effective way to watch your electric bill go down measurably is to simply change light bulbs from incandescent to fluorescent.
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.
What is the input energy of a fluorescent light bulb?
The input energy of a fluorescent light bulb refers to the electrical energy it consumes when powered on. This energy is typically measured in watts (W) and can vary depending on the bulb's size and design, commonly ranging from about 15 to 40 watts for standard household bulbs. The energy is used to excite mercury vapor, which emits ultraviolet light that then excites phosphor coatings inside the bulb, producing visible light. Overall, fluorescent bulbs are more energy-efficient than traditional incandescent bulbs, providing more light output per watt consumed.
What size bulb replaces a 2004 Dodge Neon foglight?
the front fog light takes bulb number 899 according to my owners manual.
How much does a person affect the temperature for an average size room?
About the same as a 100 watt incandescent light bulb.
What does a light bulb look like?
A light bulb is typically a round or elongated glass or plastic object with a metal base and a filament or LED inside. It may vary in size and shape depending on the type of bulb (incandescent, fluorescent, LED, etc.). When powered on, it produces light.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of the light bulb?
-Compact fluorescent bulbs use 66% less energy than a standard incandescent bulb, and last up to 10 times longer. -A 32-watt CFL can save a homeowner $30 in energy costs over the life of a bulb. -Lower weight and size, has a more attractive shape. -Easier and less frequent replacement. -Less maintenance cost.
