Interesting and totally arbitrary rule, (if 24 v is good, the 3 v should be better).
I assume a rule like that comes from the fact that light bulbs generate significant heat which could significantly raise the temperature within the space.
(Which means the wattage and not the voltage should be limited.)
What else can I help you with?
Why is a light bulb so inefficient?
A traditional incandescent light bulb is inefficient because it produces more heat than light, wasting energy. Only about 5-10% of the energy consumed by an incandescent bulb is converted into visible light, with the rest being wasted as heat.
Is a bulb a source of energy?
No, a bulb is not a source of energy. A bulb simply converts electrical energy into light energy. The electrical energy is usually provided by a power source, such as a battery or a power outlet.
How efficient is a light bulb?
An incandescent bulb is 96% efficient as a heater, and 4% efficient as a source of light. A fluorescent bulb is only 60% efficient as a heater, and 40% efficient as a source of light. An LED bulb is only 10-20% efficient as a heater, and 80-90% efficient as a source of light (but that light is usually unidirectionally directed... harder to do diffuse lighting with them).
How does a battery make a light bulb work?
If you place an end of a wire on the negative or positive side, put the outer metal part of the light bulb's cap on the other, and place the other end of the wire on the light bulb's cap's inner metal part, it will turn on.TipBefore you try to do this, always check that the voltage of the battery is equal to, or a bit less than, the voltage of the light bulb!Otherwise the light bulb may only give out a very bright flash and could easily be destroyed.
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.
Does the light bulb light up?
Only when it has power.
Is a light bulb switch a screw?
only the top of it
How many people do you need to turn on a light bulb?
It should only take one person to switch on a light bulb if it is 6 light bulbs it may take 6 people to switch on a light bulb Der!
How many bees does it take to change a light bulb?
Only two, as long as the light bulb has a hole, large enough for them to enter!
Why do you need to have the glass on the outside of a light bulb?
The glass envelope, or bulb, of an incandescent light bulb is needed to hold the inert gas, such as argon, that fills the space. The filament of a light bulb is made of tungsten wire. When electricity passes through it the filament becomes extremely hot and emits light. The inert gas surrounding the filament protects it from evaporating too quickly. A light bulb only lasts as long as its filament lasts.
Will a condensed fluorescent bulb work as a grow light for garden?
Only if you buy a "full spectrum" of "grow light" type of compact bulb.
How do you know a light bulb transforms 100 percent of its electricity into light?
You don't. A light bulb transforms only a fraction of its energy into light, and most of it into heat. For an incandescent bulb about 3% is transformed into light, while for a compact fluorescent (low-energy light) about 15% is transformed into light.
How do you light a light bulb without electricity?
The only way a light bulb could be lit without electricity would be if it wasn't an electric bulb, or the "light" wasn't from an electric filament. I once had a miner's torch that was lit by igniting acetylene gas, but I wouldn't call it a "light bulb".Electric light bulbs will only light with electricity. There is no other way short of breaking them open and igniting something inside of them, but then they aren't electric lights anymore.You don't. The design of an ordinary light bulb is to operate with a voltage supply.
Does the 2001 Audi a6 avant have ony one rear fog light?
yes 96 through i believe its 2001 only have one rear fog light but the harnes has the space for the bulb on the other side but there is just no opening in the back of the light
When a headlight bulb burns out on a 1997 Ford Explorer does the check engine light go on?
No, the headlight bulb will just not turn on. The check engine light only comes on when there is a problem with the ENGINE, not the BULB.
How do you fix a dim tails light on a firebird?
Turn you high beams on and check your tail light. If its brighter, you have a head light bulb as a tail light bulb. 97-02 are the only ones that should do this. Find a tail light bulb and replace.(I couldn't believe it either).
Is a light bulb a mechanical energy?
No. It converts electrical energy into light and thermal energy only.
