What else can I help you with?
What would b the effect on the circuit should the starter be taken out after the lamp is started?
Once started the fluorescent tube no longer needs the starter. In fact starters are designed to electrically "remove" themselves from the circuit when the fluorescent tube is conducting.
Can you put a black light bulb in any fluorescent fixture?
Yes a black lamp tube will work in a fluorescent fixture. Guess you don't remember the early 70's.
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.
Where can one purchase fluorescent tubes?
Fluorescent tube lighting can be purchased at any do-it-yourself retail outlet such as Homebase. Alternatively you may purchase some online with a more varied size and colours from websites such as Amazon.
Is a fluorescent light grounded?
If you are talking about the lamp then the answer is no. If you are talking about the fluorescent fixture, it should be. It is the fixture grounding that helps the tube to ignite. because of the close proximity to the metal of the fixture. There are many occasions when the fixture will not operate, but as soon as the ground is connected the fixture operates fine.
Can I use in a 70W starter in a 58W flourescent tube?
Using a 70W starter in a 58W fluorescent tube is not recommended. Starters are designed to match the wattage of the specific fluorescent tube they are used with, and mismatching can lead to inefficient operation, flickering, or even damage to the tube or starter. It's best to use a starter that is specifically rated for a 58W fluorescent tube to ensure optimal performance and safety.
How will you test starter and choke in fluorescent tube?
You can use a wire instead of the starter to test the tubes .. I did it, it works !
What would be the effect on the circuit should the starter be taken out the lamp is started?
Once started the fluorescent tube no longer needs the starter. In fact starters are designed to electrically "remove" themselves from the circuit when the fluorescent tube is conducting.
What is a starter in a fluorescent tube?
A starter in a fluorescent tube is a small device that helps initiate the lighting process by preheating the electrodes inside the tube. When the fluorescent lamp is turned on, the starter quickly closes the circuit, allowing current to flow through the gas and ignite the lamp. Once the lamp is lit, the starter disengages from the circuit, allowing the lamp to operate normally. Starters are typically used in older fluorescent lighting systems, while newer designs often rely on electronic ballasts that eliminate the need for a starter.
What is the purpose of a fluorescent light starter and how does it contribute to the functioning of a fluorescent light fixture?
A fluorescent light starter is a small device that helps initiate the flow of electricity in a fluorescent light fixture. It contains a small gas discharge tube that helps create the initial spark needed to ionize the gas inside the fluorescent tube. This ionization process allows the electric current to flow through the tube, causing the fluorescent coating to emit light. In summary, the purpose of a fluorescent light starter is to kickstart the flow of electricity in a fluorescent light fixture, enabling it to produce light efficiently.
Is tube working if you remove stater?
Fluorescent tube with a separate starter? If it's working, you can remove the starter and it will keep going. But if you turn it off, it won't start next time you turn it on.
What would b the effect on the circuit should the starter be taken out after the lamp is started?
Once started the fluorescent tube no longer needs the starter. In fact starters are designed to electrically "remove" themselves from the circuit when the fluorescent tube is conducting.
Can you use S10 in S2 starter?
An S2 starter is used when wiring 2 fluorescent tubes in series while S10 is used on a single tube
Can a single pole switch replace a starter in a fluorescent lamp?
No, a single pole switch cannot replace a starter in a fluorescent lamp. The starter is required to initiate the flow of current through the tube, which a switch alone cannot accomplish. The switch is used for turning the lamp on and off once the starter has activated the lamp.
What is the difference between the normal light globe and a fluorescent tube?
"Normal" light globes use a glowing filament, heated by the current. Flourescent tubes ignite a gas within a tube, using an arc.
What is the working principal of a starter in a fluorescent lamp?
The electrodes at opposite ends of the fluorescent tube are also filament heaters. Upon starting, the two electrodes are connected in series through a closed switch within the starter, thus increasing the temperature of the heaters to initiate thermionic emission to ionise the gas in the tube. The starter then warms up and its contacts open, breaking the starting circuit, and the tube's electrode no longer act as heaters, but as discharge electrodes.
What is the use of starter in tube light?
Tube light requires two things to function . Very high starting voltage , and high voltage to continue the operation . The starter is a circuit which breaks at regular intervals . When you break a circuit and start again , high voltage spark takes place . This voltage is further amplified through the choke which is a transformer . Thus at the beginning the starter gives high voltage sparks . Due to this the current begins to flow through the tube and the tube begins to glow. Once the tube starts , the required voltage to sustain is quite low , which is provided by the choke .If the starter is bad the tube does not start . If the choke is bad or if the gas is low , the tube does not sustain its light .Fluorescent starters are used in several types of fluorescent lights. The starter is there to help the lamp light. When voltage is applied to the fluorescent lamp, here's what happens:The starter (which is simply a timed switch) allows current to flow through the filaments at the ends of the tube.The current causes the starter's contacts to heat up and open, thus interrupting the flow of current. The tube lights.Since the lighted fluorescent tube has a low resistance, the ballast now serves as a current limiter.When you turn on a fluorescent tube, the starter is a closed switch. The filaments at the ends of the tube are heated by electricity, and they create a cloud of electrons inside the tube. The fluorescent starter is a time-delay switch that opens after a second or two. When it opens, the voltage across the tube allows a stream of electrons to flow across the tube and ionize the mercury vapor.Without the starter, a steady stream of electrons is never created between the two filaments, and the lamp flickers. Without the ballast, the arc is a short circuit between the filaments, and this short circuit contains a lot of current. The current either vaporizes the filaments or causes the bulb to explode.
