What is fluorescent lamb?
Perhaps you are asking about fluorescent lamp. This is an electrical device that uses a fluorescent bulb to give off light. The bulb is a recent invention designed to give energy savings in the residential area. The fluorescent bulb used to be used exclusively in industrial applications, but the new bulb is small and compact enough to be used in a home lamp.
Which kind a light bulb uses the least amount of energy a fluorescent lamp a halogen lamp a incandescent lamp or a heating lamp?
Fluorescent lights use far less energy than any of the others listed.
How many amps in a small table lamp?
A 120 volt table lamp with a 75 watt bulb will pull 0.625 amps. With a 100 watt bulb it will pull 0.833 amps. And with a modern fluorescent 13 watt bulb it will pull 0.108 amps.
What is the part of the light bulb that glows?
In an incandescent lamp, it is called a filament. It is usually made out of Tungsten. The resistance in the filament causes it to heat up, and then glow. In a neon lamp it is plasma, which is an ionized gas. In a fluorescent bulb mercury vapor is ionized to produce UV radiation, that hits the phosphor coating on the outside of the bulb and that glows.
What is the difference between a F20-T12 CW fluorescent bulb and a F20-T9 CW bulb?
Oh, dude, you're really getting into the nitty-gritty of light bulbs, huh? So, the main difference between those two is the diameter of the bulb. The F20-T12 CW bulb has a diameter of 1.5 inches (12/8 inch) while the F20-T9 CW bulb has a diameter of 1.125 inches (9/8 inch). It's like comparing a regular-sized straw to a slightly thinner one - they both do the job of holding your drink, but one's just a bit slimmer.
