What else can I help you with?
Why is fluorescent lighting better for an aquarium than incandescent lighting?
An aquarium is sensitive to temperature changes. Incandescent lighting gives off much more heat than fluorescent lighting.
Why use fluorescent lighting?
Fluorescent lighting is cooler and far more energy-efficient than incandescent lighting.
What are the differences between incandescent and fluorescent lighting?
Incandescent lighting uses a filament that heats up to produce light, while fluorescent lighting uses gas and phosphors to create light. Incandescent lights are less energy efficient and have a shorter lifespan compared to fluorescent lights.
What are the differences between fluorescent and incandescent lighting?
Fluorescent lighting uses gas and phosphor coating to produce light, while incandescent lighting uses a filament that heats up to produce light. Fluorescent lights are more energy-efficient and last longer than incandescent lights, but incandescent lights have a warmer color temperature.
What are the differences in color between fluorescent and incandescent lighting?
Fluorescent lighting tends to produce cooler tones with a bluish or greenish hue, while incandescent lighting produces warmer tones with a yellow or orange tint.
Do fluorescent or incandescent bulbs offer the best bathroom lighting?
Incandescent lights work best for bathroom lighting. Fluorescent lights emit a cooler looking like, which does not bring out facial skin tone, which is detrimental when applying makeup.
This type of lighting repeatedly starts and breaks?
The type of lighting that repeatedly starts and breaks is commonly called fluorescent lighting. Fluorescent lighting is usually found in office buildings.
What type of lighting to use inside a home?
You can use incandescent, fluorescent or halogen lighting fixtures meant for indoor use inside a home. For example, you can purchase incandescent wall lights that are connected to a dimmer switch with incandescent lamping. Fluorescent lights might be in models of ceiling lights, chandeliers and pendant lights. Fluorescent lights are energy efficient lighting choices. Halogen lamps are used in some recessed lighting for indoor use. Floor lamps may also use halogen bulbs. Read carefully to see what type of indoor lighting can withstand damp settings such as the bathroom.
What varieties of lights are available?
While fluorescent lighting is the most common type of general purpose lighting found in commercial settings, a wide range of options are available such as Incandescent,Tungsten-halogen,Compact Fluorescent lamps
Why aren't LED lighting systems replacing fluorescent and incandescent lighting?
LED lighting is replacing fluorescent and incandescent in many cases. LED lighting is much more efficient than incandescent, and about the same as fluorescent. However, LEDs are expensive, requiring a huge initial investment. There are claims they will pay back the investment over time because they last a long time and require low maintenance, but not everyone believes those claims and LEDs have not been around long enough to know. LEDs, fluorescent and incandescent provide different qualities of light so some sources are better for some applications. For example, only incandescent is full spectrum. Also, LED lamps can only be made in limited light output for size, due to the problems with removing the heat they generate. Some new LED lamps have fans or other active cooling mechanisms.
What are the differences between fluorescent and CFL lighting options?
Fluorescent lighting uses a tube filled with mercury vapor to produce light, while CFL (compact fluorescent lamp) lighting is a smaller, more energy-efficient version of fluorescent lighting. CFLs are typically spiral-shaped and can be used in standard light fixtures. Both types of lighting are more energy-efficient than traditional incandescent bulbs, but CFLs tend to be more efficient and have a longer lifespan.
Why do plants need incandescent lights?
Some, but not all, plants need a wider range of illumination than is provided by fluorescent lighting. Incandescent bulbs give off heat and infared radiation, while fluorescent (cold) lighting is closer to the ultraviolet part of the spectrum.
