If the ballast on a fluorescent light blows will the lamp still work?
Typically, if the ballast on a fluorescent light blows, the lamp will not work. The ballast regulates the electrical current to the lamp, so if it is not functioning properly, the lamp will not receive the correct power to light up.
How do you use fluorescent in a sentence?
It still has dingy corridors, ancient washrooms, rusting bunk beds (six to a room),a single fluorescent bulb hanging from the ceiling and an ancient radiator in front of the window.
How much energy does an incandescent lightbulb use versus a fluorescent?
Yes that's true fluorescent bulbs are better because it usess 75% less energy and works longer than a incandescent light bulb. Yes...and no. It is true that power usage decreases with fluorescent balb usage. However, one must take into account that they pollute more (i.e. mercury and other heavy metals).
Why do fluroescent lights glow in the dark when swiched off?
A fluorescent tube contains (when operating) a plasma, and this excites phosphors coated on the inside of the tube. Some of these phosphors are phosphorescent, that is they will glow in the dark for a while due to being exposed to light. But that glow will soon cease. Other phosphors are fluorescent, that is they will glow only while excited. So the glow you observe is due to the phosphorescent particles in the coating, and they will soon diminish in brightness.
Can tinted window film be attached safely to fluorescent ceiling light cover to dim light?
It is not recommended to attach tinted window film to a fluorescent ceiling light cover to dim the light. The film can melt or cause a fire hazard due to the heat emitted by the light. It is safer to use light dimmers or different light bulbs to adjust the brightness.
Which rocks glow in UV light?
scorpions doThe hyaline layer of a scorpion exoskeleton fluoresces under a UV light, turning teal green. Scientist don't yet understand the material causing it to fluoresce; but scorpion fossils that are millions of years old still fluoresce.Other animals that fluoresce include crayfish, centipedes, and millipedes.
In space is it dark?
Yes! space is pitch black! however, because of the light of the stars,and especially the sun..... space is really glowing with light . but it is still dark in space .
Compact fluorescent lamps have made a lot of changes in the lighting sector it is also changed from a fluorescent lamp to compact fluorescent lamps but still it is dependent on the ballast Why?
Compact fluorescent lamps still require a ballast because the ballast provides the initial surge of electricity needed to start the lamp and regulates the electrical current flowing through the lamp during operation. Without the ballast, the lamp would not function properly or could potentially be damaged.
Is it possible to manufacture fluorescent ink?
Yes, fluorescent inks can be manufactured. And they are. To keep it simple, something that is fluorescent will fluoresce under high energy light, usually ultraviolet light. This high energy light will be absorbed by the fluorphore, and it will re-emit light of a lower energy, usually in the visible spectrum where we can see it. (The rest of the light energy of the incoming light will retained as heat - atomic and/or molecular vibration.) Fluorescent markers find application in the security or property control area where they are used to mark things like chairs or tables or stuff like that. The marks are invisible under normal circumstances, but will fluoresce and become visible under black light. Certainly there are still posters that are printed with fluorescent ink and look cool under black light.
What is the heat output of a fluorescent tube?
The heat output of a fluorescent tube is relatively low compared to its light output. Fluorescent tubes are efficient at converting electricity into light, producing less heat than traditional incandescent bulbs. However, they still generate some heat due to the energy losses in the system.
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.
What is the definition of ember?
Ember is a small part of glowing wood, which is still burning. If it is burning for a while it is a piece of coal. It is found near a campside fire, that is still glowing.
