Why does a plasma ball make fluorescent light bulbs light up?
Anything that excites the gas in a fluorescent will make it light. Static electricity from the carpet will cause compact fluorescent to light.
What is the swirly light bulb called?
The swirly light bulb is called a compact fluorescent lamp (CFL). It is a type of energy-efficient light bulb that produces light by using electricity to excite the gas inside the bulb to create illumination.
What does CFL's in lighting stand for?
CFL stands for Compact Fluorescent Lamp. It is an energy-efficient alternative to traditional incandescent light bulbs, producing the same amount of light but using less energy.
How does a compact fluorescent bulb convert electricity into light?
A compact fluorescent bulb uses electricity to create an electrical current that passes through a tube containing argon and a small amount of mercury vapor. This current excites the mercury atoms, causing them to emit ultraviolet light. The UV light then hits the phosphor coating inside the bulb, which converts it into visible light.
How does a compact fluorescent light bulb work?
A fluorescent light bulb contains a gas which produces UV light when it comes in contact with electricity. Contrary to a normal light bulb this does not create any heat and is far more energy efficient.
What is the name of those swirly light bulbs?
They are known as CFL bulbs. It stands for Compact Fluorescent Lamps.
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.
What light is more energy saving?
Compact fluorescent light globes.
What is a compact fluorescent PI lamp?
PL mean Plug in - Light Bulb, the most comment application is CFL (Compact Fluorescent Lamp) which require assistance components to make it work or light up, different to incandescent light bulb, it can light up by just itself direct connect to our home electricity ac 100v to ac 240v.
How does LED light affect electricity?
LED lights use substantially less electricity than most other kinds of lighting -- even less than compact fluorescent bulbs.
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.
What are two kinds of light bulbs?
incandescent , compact fluorescent
