Yes, it usually happens when the tubes are cold. As the fixture and tubes warm up this effect disappears.

What wattage dimmer switch should you use?

Remember that dimmers are for incandescent lights only unless you invest BIG BUCKS on dimmable fluorescent lights and fluorescent dimmers. Make sure that the switch that you replace with the dimmer does not control a plug-in outlet unless it is a lamp. You could do harm to an appliance not designed for such use. Otherwise,just add up the wattage of all the bulbs on the dimmer and buy one of the next size rating. So if you have two 60 watt bulbs, two 75 watt bulbs-- that's 270 watts total.Find a dimmer rated for 300 watts or more.


Why we use resistance?

the resitance would be used to reduce a voltage amplitude to a level suitable to be used in an application, to limit the amount of current flowing within the circuit , or in some cases the resistor could be used as a heating - effect.


How do electro pneumatic contactors work?

A contactor is an electrically controlled switch (relay) used for switching a power circuit. an electro pneumatic contactor is similar to the above except it uses a pneumatic signal to initiate the switching of the electric power circuit. an electro magnetic contactor is a contactor driven by an electric control signal. It us usually just called a contactor.

Can you light a fluorescent bulb with static electricity?

Yes, you can flash a fluorescent tube with static electricity. Once the static potential difference is equalized the tube will go out. <<>> Static electricity is discharged with a spark in a fraction of a second. Florescent bulbs stay on for long periods of time. Perhaps it could operate a strobe light one time every few minutes. A strobe light does not provide enough light to be useful for anything except photography and dancing at a club!

Why did Agapito Flores invented the fluorescent lamp?

There is significant controversy over the claim that Agapito Flores, a Filipino electrician, invented fluorescent lighting. Like many inventions fluorescent lighting had a number of antecedents including work by physicists and engineers in Europe and the US as far back as the middle of the 19th century. Flores most likely re-created a lot of the work done by those other inventors, but the presentation of his development occurred only after others had shown similar devices. Therefore he can be credited as AN inventor of fluorescent lighting but not THE inventor.Likely he was experimenting with crooks tubes or something similar and decided to try somefluorescent materials to see if he could get a brighter light. Successful inventors don't need a reason, they just keep trying things until the find something that might be useful.


Why are strobe lights dangerous for some people with epilepsy?

Flashing lights and strobe lights and other forms of irregular lighting can affect the optic nerve and the brain. Looking at any light for a prolonged time can do damage to your eyes, which is why you never do things like stare at the sun. Anyone at any stage of their life can have a seizure and never be diagnosed as having epilepsy. Someone who has recurring seizures is deemed to have epilepsy, but if you had one or two and never had any more, you would not be considered to have epilepsy.So things that trigger seizures in someone who has epilepsy can trigger seizures in anyone. So strobe lights can trigger a seizure in anyone, even if it never happened again. People who have what is known as photosensitive epilepsy can have seizures triggered by strobe lights. Most people who have epilepsy do not have that form, and so strobe lights do not affect them any more than other people who don't have epilepsy at all. Someone who has photosensitive epilepsy has a lower level of susceptibility to strobe lights, than someone who doesn't, but exposing anyone to strobe lighting for long enough could cause them problems, as it is not good to look at it for a long time.

Raves plus epilepsy Good or bad choice I have been over a year free and they can't determine what causes my seizures. But I have been around strobe lights before and I hadn't been a year free and was?

I would say that raves plus epilepsy almost certainly equals a bad choice. Strobe lights can definitely cause seizures. Even if you had been around them before without problems, the cumulative effect of the strobe lights at the raves could have contributed. At the very least, the fact that you are prone to seizures for whatever reason should make you want to stay away from anything that could trigger them again. You could also talk to a trusted doctor to get an opinion on this.
