THE FIXTURES YOU ARE USING WILL WORK PEFECTLY!\ncreate a small cubby room and call it the lighting closet.\nhouse your ballasts in this room at 75-80 degrees\nballasts and lights are seperate making startup easy and troublshooting problems easier.\nextra wiring involved but very profitable in the long term\nblow a ballast?\ngo to the comfort of the lighting closet and change it!\nyour fixtures dont care about temperature\nyour ballast needs warmth to operate correctly

I guess so.. That's kind of stupid though. Why would you want to change a lightbulb with your feet? Once you get the bulb situated to where it stays in the socket without falling, then it would be pretty easy to keep it rotating until the electricity can circulate throughout the bulb. Try it...

In flourescent lights electricity passes through a gas (i.e Neon)to create the light. This is much more efficient as very little heat is produced. Unlike incadescent ones,which create a lot of heat.

The light will be on/off

Electricity is charged by the kilowatt (1000 watts) hour.  A 60 watt bulb uses 60/1000 hr. That's .06 times price per KWH.

I agree with Day Light Savings. I don't think it is stupid. In summer, I don't want to wake up in mid afternoon. Also I like long evenings.

Where possible, use compact fluorescent light bulbs. Those funny-looking bulbs produce the same amount of light by using 1/4 of the electricity. Plus, they last for years and years without burning out.\nTurn off the TV when no one is watching it. The same goes for computers, radios and stereos - if no one using it, turn it off. Turn off all the appliances at the surge protector/control strip - that four- or six-plug extension chord that you plug all your computer things into. Some devices, like modems or other networking boxes are drawing small amounts of power all the time. Check with your folks first, but the best thing to do is turn them ALL off at the surge protector\n\netc,etc----

If u meant what solution would conduct electricity then any salt solution would do  the trick. If you meant what solution would produce electricity to light a bulb then you need to prepare a dilute solution of sulphuric acid ( be careful! wear gloves! Wear goggles! If you are a kid, do it under supervision of an adult..that means your parents or teacher :-) ) In the acid solution suspend two plates of dis-similar metals ( say zinc and copper) and connect the plates to the bulb( a flash light bulb, 1.5 V) using copper wires..and see it glow.\n\nThere are other ways and more elegant styles..however this is the simplest.

Turn off and on is the best way, change your bulbs to ones rated for Energysaving, change your appliances to Energuide branded.\n\nMake sure all your windows and doorways are sealed (helps with fires too!), adjust your heating and cooling for a moderate temperature

Safety, colour, energy efficiency, use of the space, luminosity, age of room users, dimming and mood, position of bulbs, light shades.\n\nFluorescents are more energy efficient than incandescents (20% compared to 5%) so they are cheaper.\n\nAreas for close up work should be lit more brightly. Intensity decreases according to distance from bulb^2 so intensity 2 m from a bulb is 1/4 of intensity at 1m.\n\nOlder people need more light. A 50 year old needs four times as much light as a 10yr old for the same task (This is why children can read by torchlight under the bed.) Make sure the occupant of a desk does not shadow their light source.\n\nIncandescent bulbs have more red -yellow in their emission spectrum, fluorescents vary but white ones are similar to daylight. Note: the apparent colours of furnishings can change dramatically with a slightly different colour bulb.\n\nFeature lighting can be used to highlight objects eg plants, books, artworks on a shelf, hidden strip lights (eg under pelmets) soften the strip light.\n\nIn many settings, several wall mounted lights create a better atmosphere than a single central light.\n\nCheck that light shades don't colour the light or cast annoying / weird shadows around the room. This is more likely if the light is the only source in the room

it depends on the voltage the battery is prescribed to run at...which is gen 230v/220v and so u cant power the light bulb with the battery which is almost of 3v. or else its fine use a bulb holder along with its wires and place them one to the -ve terminal and the other to the positve terminal

The voltage readings on the light bulbs are not what they definitely operate in, but optimim values. What is constant is their resistances, and connecting a larger voltage to a lower valued bulb will increase the current across it, and there is a possibility that this will burn the bulb.\n\nHowever, if you connect several bulbs in series to a higher voltage source, i.e. 3, 3, and 6, to a voltage source of 12 V, they should all be within the optimim values.\n\nGenerally speaking though, the bulbs in your example should still be ok (although they will shine much more brightly) unless you connect them in parrallel. (a volmeter across them would probably read about 4V and 8V if you connect them in series)

The lower the resistance of the bulb, the more power it will consume.

You should, because you can save electricity :)

b/c a constant amt. of electricity is going into it, and it will only get brighter if you add more electricity to it, or get a brighter bulb!

You can, but there is a danger of overheating and fire. Here's why.\n\nThe power of a light bulb in watts is determined by the equation P=V^2/R where V = voltage and R = resistance. The higher power (higher wattage) light bulbs actually have lower resistance, so they draw more current.\n\nThat same current must pass through the wires, socket, etc. These also have resistance. The greater the current that passes through the wire, socket, etc. generates heat from the equation P = I^2 * R.  So, if the current is doubled, there is 4 times as much heat that is generated by the wires, socket, etc.\n\nSockets and wires have different ratings depending on their ability to handle high current and heat. You may have seen ceramic light sockets - they provide better heat resistance that lightweight sockets with plastic that can melt.
