Hi all,
I guess most of you have seen some moving spirals in some fluorescent lamps. Not sure if there's a better description for that, but with my keywords I don't seem to find any relevant explanations online or elsewhere on this forum.
I have an emergency lamp with T5 6W fluorescent lamps...
I removed a fuse and before reinserting did the following tests using test lamps. Live side - Neutral = 230V, Dead side - Neutral = 0V, Live side - Dead side = 0V.
I then used a multimeter to check these results as I was expecting a potential difference of 230V between Supply side and dead side...
There was a discussion some time back that wound its way to the subject of LED filament lamps - specifically those with fairly high output - but I can't seem to find it now.
I'm trying to find B22 GLS lamps producing around 1000+ lumens, but it's proving difficult without paying considerable...
We've all seen the LED 'curly element' style lamps in LED, but has anyone seen anything a bit like that in good old Tungsten still on the shelves anywhere? Need a bunch for a show.
I installed 12 Philips #416K92 bulbs (type B) 2 1/2 yrs ago in three separate 4-lamp fixtures. Suddenly, one fixture has three dark and one barely lit lamps. Before I ask for warranty replacement (5 yr) I'd like to determine if any lamps are still serviceable. What multi-meter tests should I...
We recently had a single phase HV failure at our local substation with the result that the phase feeding our house dropped to about 88V. Interestingly, when I checked around the house a number of lights still worked: 60W filament GLS (red glow), some 7W LED lamps (nothing), other 7W LED lamps...

Hello, I have a fairly simple question like in the title of the post.
How to connect Two 9 watt UV lamps to a ballast probably electronic. I suppose electronic will be the best in my case, due to the built-in starter. I have read various sources of information but did not find my specific case...
Hi - I have a room lit by two undimmed strings of six x 4.5W MR16 no-brand non dim lamps. This system originally had 50W halogen MR16s and 2 x 300W torroidal transformers. Visually this was OK, but video flicker on a webcam was terrible with the LEDs (none in daylight or with a halogen lamp)...
LED downlights in bedroom flicker momentarily when heat lamps turned on in bathroom. Bathroom has 3 in 1 heat/light/fan with 275W heat lamps. I can try to check if any other downlights do the same if that helps. Is this something of concern? All lights are new installed by a registered...
