    Light fixtures bring a daylight glow and ambiance to any room, but they have to work correctly in order to be functional and safe. While most light bulb problems can be solved with a bulb swap ...

  3. Mechanically powered flashlight - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mechanically_powered...

    The best designs use a supercapacitor instead of a rechargeable battery, since these have a longer working life than a battery. This, along with the long-life light-emitting diode which does not burn out like an incandescent bulb, give the flashlight a long lifetime, making it a useful emergency light. A disadvantage of many current models is ...

  4. Chase (lighting) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chase_(lighting)

    A chase is an electrical application where strings of adjacent light bulbs cycle on and off frequently to give the illusion of lights moving along the string. With computerized lighting consoles, building chase sequences has become easier, while previously chases used mechanical means, such as a wheel with an electrified spindle which strikes electrical contacts for each circuit.

  5. Motion detector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motion_detector

    A motion detector attached to an outdoor, automatic light. A motion detector is an electrical device that utilizes a sensor to detect nearby motion (motion detection).Such a device is often integrated as a component of a system that automatically performs a task or alerts a user of motion in an area.

  6. Twilight switch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twilight_switch

    Also, keep in mind that ignition is based solely on the amount of natural light present and not on the height of the sun, so "unwanted ignition" may occur, for example in the presence of compact clouds associated with a significant drop in ambient light on the sensor (e.g., when there is a storm). To avoid this, twilight switches can be ...

  7. LED circuit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LED_circuit

    Simple LED (Light Emitting Diode) circuit diagram. In electronics, an LED circuit or LED driver is an electrical circuit used to power a light-emitting diode (LED). The circuit must provide sufficient current to light the LED at the required brightness, but must limit the current to prevent damaging the LED.

  8. Lighting control system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lighting_control_system

    A complete sensor consists of a motion detector, an electronic control unit, and a controllable switch/relay. The detector senses motion and determines whether there are occupants in the space. [9] It also has a timer that signals the electronic control unit after a set period of inactivity.

  9. Troubleshooting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troubleshooting

    Troubleshooting is a form of problem solving, often applied to repair failed products or processes on a machine or a system. It is a logical, systematic search for the source of a problem in order to solve it, and make the product or process operational again. Troubleshooting is needed to identify the symptoms.
