If it's a long, STRAIGHT bulb...grasp with both hands - one at each end of bulb, and gently TWIST bulb toward you until it comes free of lamp. Replace by gently TWISTING new bulb back in - but in the opposite direction (counter or clock wise). If the bulb is ROUND....simply unscrew it by gently turning counter clock-wise.
give the tubes a quarter turn so you see the pin on the bottom end of the tubes and gently pull down
40 watts. I did an experiment on this. Go do one and see for yourself. Sheesh. -_-
Well, if they're both 40 watt bulbs they use the same amount of electricity. But incandescent bulbs produce a lot of heat as well as light. Fluorescent bulbs don't produce (much) heat, so they can use their power to produce light. So you can use fluorescent bulbs of lower wattage to produce the same amount of light.So for the same amount of light, fluorescent bulbs use less electricity than incandescent bulbs.
There is no fixed relationship between the brightness (lumens / candela) of a light source, and its power consumption (watts). Incandescent bulbs have a low luminous output for their power consumption, Compact Fluorescent Lamps are intermediate, and LED's are the most efficient in today's world.
Amps ain't nothing really until you cut on a light switch in your house. It's a term of electricity measurement of which is being used in a circuit. Say you have an unlit 50 watt light bulb in your den plugged into the 110 volt outlet. The 110 volts is there ready to operate the lamp. Cut it on and the electron flow is called current. Replace the bulb with a 100 watt bulb and the current flow will double. Cut off all the lights and the power meter on your house will run slower and you use less current and will have a lower electric bill next month.
If a bulb has 50 Hz frequency and it's supply is 60 Hz frequency, it will still glow, despite the allowance of 10 HZ frequency.
Incandescent produces about 10 lumens of light per watt of electricity Halogen produces about 13 lumens per watt Fluorescent and CFL produce about 50 lumens per watt So Fluorescent is the most efficient.
10-11 lumens per watt for incandescent bulbs 13-14 lumens per watt for halogen 50-60 lumens per watt for fluorescent
Lumens measures how bright it is, watts measures how much electric power it uses up. An old-type incandescent bulb produces about 10 lumens per watt. A halogen produce about 13 lumens per watt. A fluorescent (energy saving) bulb produces about 50 lumens per watt. LEDs produce somewhere around the same as a fluorescent.
A 50 watt bulb designed to run on 12 volts takes 4.17 amps. A 50 watt bulb designed to run on 230 volts takes 0.217 amps.
A 100 watt bulb will normally glow brighter than a 50 watt bulb as long as you are comparing similar style bulbs. You have to compare Incandescents to Incandescents, Fluorescent to Fluorescent, LED to LED, and so forth. You also have to make sure your bulbs are similar in light patterns since you can have general dispersion lighting, spot lighting, flood lighting, and so forth. So, once again as long as you are comparing like style bulbs, yes a 100 watt bulb is brighter than a 50 watt bulb.
This depends on the bulb design. A simple tungsten filament bulb might have a surface temperature of the bulb well above 100 C. A fluorescent lamp will be much cooler for the same light output.
Any bulb can produce 10 J or 100 J depending on how long it is left switched on. A 100 w bulb consumes 100 joules of energy each second, while a 10 w bulb needs to run for 10 seconds to use 100 joules. An incandescent bulb produces about 10 lumens per watt, A halogen bulb produces 13 lumens per watt, Compact fluorescent bulbs and LEDs produce 50-60 lumens per watt.
A 75 bulb will use more electricity.
Yes. It just won't be as bright.
Yes
It's a halogen bulb
Yes.
