Manufacturers are also obsoleting their fluorescent lamps and ballasts. Electrical contractors and facility managers will ...

Ballasts are power supplies or transformers for fluorescent lamps, light sources that consist of a glass tube filled with argon, neon, or other inert gas. When ballasts supply electrical current, the ...

Tired of the persistent hum his fluorescent desk lamp made, [Andres Lorvi] decided he had to fix it. And by fix, we mean get rid of altogether. He liked the lamp though so he decided to convert it ...

Standard fluorescent lamps require dedicated luminaires with compatible ballasts to operate them because they cannot be inserted into 120-V AC sockets. Figure 8-8 is an exploded view of a typical ...

Fluorescent tubes come in a range of color temperatures too ... or it might involve changing the wiring within each fixture to bypass the ballast. Viribright Lighting, a manufacturer of LED lighting ...

direct wire and hybrid LEDs are all more cost-effective and energy-efficient options for replacing fluorescent lamps. Plug and play LEDs (Type A) work in existing fixtures but ballasts may fail ...

For many facility personnel responsible for the daily maintenance of school buildings, linear fluorescent technology has been stable for their entire career. Since the adoption of T8 lamps and ...

In addition to sunlight, ultraviolet rays are also given off by several different forms of indoor lighting, including compact fluorescent lamps (CFL’s). CFL’s are commonly long, cylinder shaped and ...

Fluorescent probes are molecules that absorb light of a specific wavelength and emit light of a different, typically longer, wavelength (a process known as fluorescence), and are used to study ...

The discovery of DsRed (and other Anthozoa fluorescent proteins of various hues) had a twofold impact on the fluorescent protein engineering community. First, there is now a relatively diverse ...

Look ma, no MCU! The sensor coil was made by salvaging the wire from an old fluorescent lamp ballast and winding it around the lid of a bucket 27 times. This was mounted to the end of a broom ...

High-output (fluorescent) bulbs are quite common among small-scale weed growers. It’s just they’re a cheaper setup: a ballast and hood are included with each bulb, unlike with the HID lights.
