What is the brightest candelabra base incandescent bulb?
The brightest candelabra base incandescent bulb is typically around 60-75 watts. However, incandescent bulbs are not as energy-efficient as LED or CFL bulbs, so it's recommended to consider those options for brighter lighting.
Information on CFL light bulbs?
A compact fluorescent lamp (CFL), also called compact fluorescent light, energy-saving light, and compact fluorescent tube, is a fluorescent lamp designed to replace an incandescent lamp; some types fit into light fixtures formerly used for incandescent lamps. The lamps use a tube which is curved or folded to fit into the space of an incandescent bulb, and a compact electronic ballast in the base of the lamp.
Can one replace a tungsten bulb with a compact fluorescent bulb?
Yes, you can replace a tungsten bulb with a compact fluorescent bulb as they are suitable alternatives. Compact fluorescent bulbs use less energy and last longer than tungsten bulbs, making them more cost-effective in the long run. Just make sure the wattage and base size of the compact fluorescent bulb are compatible with the fixture.
Do candelabra base light bulbs come in fluorescent?
Not at the present time. Flourescents can't be dimmed with a conventional wall dimmer ... because of that, I wouldn't hold your breath waiting.
What type of a ballast do compact fluorescent lamps use?
Compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs) use electronic ballasts, which regulate the flow of current to the lamp. These ballasts provide benefits such as improved energy efficiency, reduced flicker, and a quieter operation compared to magnetic ballasts.
Compare the compact fluorescent lamp and the ordinary fluorescent lamp which has fewer spare parts?
"Compact fluorescent lamps" (or, more commonly CFLs) sold direct to consumers for installation in a standard screw-in socket have an integral ballast built into the base. The ballast converts and controls the line voltage from the socket to properly drive the fluorescent lamp. Ballasts are generally fairly complex circuitry. All fluorescent lamps require a ballast. However, most lamps used commercially ("ordinary fluorescent lamps") do not have the ballasts built into them; rather, the ballasts are hidden somewhere in the fixture.

Do Compact fluorescent light bulb smoke and rupture?
Compact fluorescent light bulbs can release smoke and potentially rupture if they overheat or experience an electrical malfunction. It's important to follow proper usage and disposal guidelines to minimize these risks. If you notice smoke or a bulb starting to rupture, stop using it immediately and dispose of it safely.
What does d11s mean on the base of a light bulb?
An E-11 indicates it has a mini candelabra base bulb. I am not familiar with any d11s.
Is there a compact fluorescent bulb that's equivalent to a 120V bulb?
As long as the CFL has an intermediate base it can be interchangeable with any ordinary light bulb that has an intermediate base. Look on the packaging as to comparability. Look on the box for equivilant outputs between lamps to compare wattage bulbs to CFL's.
What is a Type B bulb?
Its A Candelabra base bulb :-) However, one can find "medium" sized base bulbs marked "Type B."
PLC light bulb mean?
The PLC in PLC light bulbs stands for Philip Lighting Clusters. PLC light bulbs are compact fluorescent lamps. They are a cluster of lighting tubes that come with a 2-pin or 4-pin base.
