A longer rise time reduces the noise of the dimmer and the lamp as well as extending the life of the lamp. A longer rise time also reduces the electromagnetic interference produced by the dimmer. Unsurprisingly, a longer rise time is more expensive to implement than a short one, this is because the size of choke has to be increased.
"Lots of people have found themselves needing to make difficult decisions to keep the lights on. For some, that might mean cutting back on some expenses. For others, it might mean getting a side ...
A set of cold cathode discharge tubes. A cold cathode [1] is a cathode that is not electrically heated by a filament. [note 1] A cathode may be considered "cold" if it emits more electrons than can be supplied by thermionic emission alone. It is used in gas-discharge lamps, such as neon lamps, discharge tubes, and some types of vacuum tube.
A street lamp mounted on a bracket and column A high pressure sodium street light fixture. Street light interference, sometimes called high voltage syndrome, is the claimed ability of individuals to turn street lights or outside building security lights on or off when passing near them. [1]
Instant-start lamps are slightly more energy efficient than rapid start, because they do not constantly send a heating current to the cathodes during operation, but the cold cathodes starting increases sputter, and they take much longer to transition from a glow discharge to an arc during warm up, thus the lifespan is typically about half of ...
By prioritizing light exposure, good sleep habits, and self-care, you can keep your mind and body in sync with the winter season rather than battling against it. Winter doesn't have to be a time ...
During extreme cold events, you may hear a loud boom and feel like you have experienced an earthquake. ... As little as 6 inches of snow is enough to keep the freezing air from affecting the ...
Lighting control systems are widely used on both indoor and outdoor lighting of commercial, industrial, and residential spaces. Lighting control systems are sometimes referred to under the term smart lighting. Lighting control systems serve to provide the right amount of light where and when it is needed. [1]
