What happens if you add 2 light bulbs to a simple circuit?
A: There is no such a thing as simple circuit if the bulbs are put in series the light will dim if put in parallel both bulbs will light up the same provided the source can sustain the power increase
What were light bulbs like in the 1930's?
They were very dim, bare, and clear. They burned out fast.
Energy savings light bulbs flickering and do not dim on dimmer switch?
you can not put a normal dimmer on a florescent light. You need to install a dimmer made for flourecent lights and they are expensive about 50 dollar around here. If you want to dim it put a normal incandescent bulb in the fixture.
How often to change?
Light bulbs last an incredible long time so you just change them when they start to dim. To save energy and money you may want to switch to more environmentally friendly bulbs. They cost more at first but pays for itself in the long run.
Can LED lights be used on a timer?
LEDs do not work on all timers. This is also the case with many energy saving bulbs. The timer lets enough voltage thru to partially light the LEDs and energy saving bulbs. LEDs will light fully when the timer is "on", but will continue to light dimly when the timer says "off". Energy saving bulbs will have a dim flicker when "off" thru a timer. I have not found a timer yet that solves this problem. If anyone knows of a solution I'd love to be able to use energy efficient lights with the convenience of a timer.
