Electrical {Terms|Phrases}.

The {important|essential|crucial|critical} electrical operating {characteristics|traits|qualities} of a light are voltage and wattage. Light fittings are also labeled with a {maximum|optimum} wattage {rating|score} that {should|ought to|need to|must} not be exceeded. This is {because|simply because|due to the fact|since} {General|Common|Basic|Normal} Lighting Service (GLS) lamps convert only {10|ten}% of the {electricity|electrical energy|electrical power} they use into light and convert the remaining 90% into {heat|warmth}. The {maximum|optimum} wattage {rating|score} of light fitting is to {prevent|stop|avoid|avert} {damage|harm|injury} by {excessive|extreme} {heat|warmth}.

Voltage is measured in volts and can be {considered|regarded as|deemed|thought to be} as the {pressure|stress|strain} of the {electricity|electrical energy|electrical power}. The {higher|greater|increased|larger} the voltage the {more|much more|a lot more|far more} {dangerous|harmful|hazardous|risky} it is for an {electric|electrical} shock.

{Current|Present|Existing|Recent} is measured in Amperes (or amps for {short|brief|quick}) and can be {considered|regarded as|deemed|thought to be} as the {quantity|amount} of {electricity|electrical energy|electrical power} {used|utilized|employed|utilised}. The {Higher|Greater|Increased|Larger} the {current|present|existing|recent} the thicker the wire {needed|required|necessary|essential} to carry it.

Wattage is the {power|energy|electrical power} {used|utilized|employed|utilised} and is measured by the voltage (in volts) multiplied by the {current|present|existing|recent} (in amps)

For instance, a 12 volt, 50 watt lamp {uses|makes use of|utilizes|employs} {4|four}.16amps ({4|four}.{16|sixteen} x 12 = 50) {yet|but|however|nevertheless} a 230 volt, 50 watt lamp {uses|makes use of|utilizes|employs} only .217 amps (.217 x 230 = 50). As a {general|common|basic|normal} rule, all 50 watt lamps will emit the {same|exact same|identical|very same} {amount|quantity|sum|volume} of light, regardless of their voltage, {providing|supplying|offering|delivering} they are the {same|exact same|identical|very same} {type|kind|sort|variety} of lamp.

Lamp voltage

The voltage {measures|actions} the electrical {pressure|stress|strain} in the {same|exact same|identical|very same} way the {pounds|kilos|lbs} per square inch {measures|actions} {water|h2o} {pressure|stress|strain}. The mains in most {countries|nations|international locations} are 220 -240 volts {while|although|whilst|even though} in North America they are 110 volts.
Incandescent Lamps

These are {often|frequently|usually|typically} {called|known as|referred to as|named} {General|Common|Basic|Normal} Lighting Service (GLS) lamps and are the least {efficient|effective}. They will {produce|create|generate|make} about 15 lumens of light for {every|each and every|each|every single} watt of {electricity|electrical energy|electrical power} {used|utilized|employed|utilised}.

Incandescent or GLS lamps can be dimmed (ie run on a {lower|decrease|reduce|reduced} voltage). When the rated voltage of a lamp is {reduced|decreased|lowered|diminished} (by dimming), the light out {put|place|set} and {colour|color} temperature are lowered. {Running|Operating|Working} a lamp on {lower|decrease|reduce|reduced} than its rated voltage will also {increase|improve|boost|enhance} its {life|existence|lifestyle}. Conversely, {running|operating|working} a GLS lamp on a {higher|greater|increased|larger} than rated voltage ({over|more than|about|around}-voltage) will shorten its {life|existence|lifestyle}. {Over|More than|About|Around}-voltage and {over|more than|about|around}-{current|present|existing|recent} are the most {common|typical|widespread|frequent} {reasons|factors|causes|good reasons} for GLS lamps failing. This {often|frequently|usually|typically} {occurs|happens|takes place} when lamps are {first|initial|1st|very first} switched on and the {current|present|existing|recent} rises {rapidly|quickly|swiftly} ({over|more than|about|around} a {few|couple of|handful of|number of} milliseconds) or when variations in the {supply|provide} voltage {causes|leads to|brings about} it to rise {above|over|previously mentioned} 230volts.
These lamps have a {life|existence|lifestyle} of about 1000 {hours|hrs}

CFL Compact Fluorescent Lamps

These lamps will {produce|create|generate|make} the {same|exact same|identical|very same} {amount|quantity|sum|volume} of light as an incandescent lamp but {require|need|call for|demand} only 20% of the {power|energy|electrical power}. They can do this {because|simply because|due to the fact|since} {less|much less} {energy|power|vitality} is wasted in {heat|warmth}. A CFL can be {used|utilized|employed|utilised} to {replace|substitute|change} {either|both|possibly} bayonet or Edison screw bulbs.

This table {shows|exhibits|reveals} the equivalent wattages of Osram Duluxstar Twist and incandescent lamps.
For comparison a compact fluorescent lamp {produces|creates|generates|provides} about 60 lumens of light per watt of {electricity|electrical energy|electrical power} {used|utilized|employed|utilised}.
The {colour|color} can be warm white which is {similar|comparable|related|equivalent} to an incandescent bulb, or cool white which is {closer|nearer} to daylight.

Compact Fluorescent Wattage

Incandescent Wattage
{5|five} Watt 25 Watt
{8|eight} Watt {40|forty} Watt
{11|eleven} Watt 60 Watt
13 Watt 75 Watt
{16|sixteen} Watt {100|one hundred|a hundred} Watt
23 Watt 120 Watt

The twist bulbs are {more|much more|a lot more|far more} {efficient|effective} and {smaller|more compact} than the u {shaped|formed} bulbs and will {fit|match} into any light that {uses|makes use of|utilizes|employs} an incandescent bulb. The {average|typical|common|regular} {life|existence|lifestyle} of an Osram Duluxstar bulb is about 5000 {hours|hrs} but {lower|decrease|reduce|reduced} {quality|high quality|top quality|good quality} bulbs can be {much|significantly|a lot|considerably} {less|much less}.

Halogen Bulbs

12 volt halogen bulbs are {usually|generally|typically|normally} of the MR16 {type|kind|sort|variety}. The MR stands for multi faceted reflector and the {16|sixteen} for the diameter of the bulb in {one|1|a single|one particular} eighths of an inch i.e. two inches or 50mm. Halogen bulbs that {operate|run} on 240 volts or 110 volts are the {same|exact same|identical|very same} {shape|form} but the pins on the base are of the twist and lock {type|kind|sort|variety} and {cannot|can’t|can not|are not able to} be inserted into a 12 volt fitting. A halogen lamp will {produce|create|generate|make} about 35 lumens per watt.

Osram Decostar bulbs are {available|accessible|obtainable|offered} in {four|4} beam widths. The {ten|10} and 24 degrees are {used|utilized|employed|utilised} to give a narrow spot beam, the 36 degrees is most {common|typical|widespread|frequent} domestically {used|utilized|employed|utilised} for floodlighting and the sixty degrees is {becoming|turning into|turning out to be|growing to be} {more|much more|a lot more|far more} {popular|well-liked|common|well-known} for {general|common|basic|normal} floodlighting.

Infra Red Coated lamps (IRC) are about 30% {more|much more|a lot more|far more} {efficient|effective} than {normal|regular|typical|standard} halogen lamps. They {achieve|accomplish|obtain|attain} this by {making|generating|producing|creating} {better|much better|far better|greater} use of the {heat|warmth} {generated|produced|created}. A {low|reduced|very low|lower} voltage halogen lamp has a {life|existence|lifestyle} of {between|in between|among|involving} 2000 and 5000 {hours|hrs} {depending|relying} on the {quality|high quality|top quality|good quality}. A mains voltage lamp will {last|final|very last|previous} 2000 {hours|hrs}

Fluorescent Tubes

Fluorescent tubes are specified by their wattage and diameter. The diameter is {given|provided|offered} as T and a {number|quantity|amount|range}. The {number|quantity|amount|range} is the diameter of the tube in {one|1|a single|one particular} eighths of an inch. ie a T4 tube is {half|fifty percent|50 percent} an inch in diameter. {Common|Typical|Widespread|Frequent} tube diameters are T4, T5 and T8

The wattage of the tube determines its {length|duration|size}, so if you {buy|purchase|acquire|get} a {replacement|substitute|alternative} tube of the {same|exact same|identical|very same} wattage it will {fit|match} into the light fixture

The tubes are {available|accessible|obtainable|offered} in a {range|array|assortment|variety} of {colour|color} temperatures which {range|array|assortment|variety} from warm white to cool white and daylight.

These lamps are {very|extremely|really|quite} {efficient|effective} and {produce|create|generate|make} about 70 lumens per watt, they have a {life|existence|lifestyle} of about {10|ten},000 {hours|hrs}.

LED Lighting.

The light is {given|provided|offered} off by a light emitting diode and it {promises|guarantees} to be a {very|extremely|really|quite} {efficient|effective} light {source|supply}. At the {moment|second|minute} the {3|three} and {5|five} watt lamps {produce|create|generate|make} about 70 lumens per watt which is only marginally {better|much better|far better|greater} than fluorescent. {Future|Long term|Potential|Long run} {development|improvement|advancement|growth} could see the output of 200 watts per lumen.

LED lighting can do what no other {source|supply} can do in {creating|making|producing|generating} {special|unique|particular|distinctive} {effects|results} and mood lighting. For domestic {purposes|functions} it can give {low|reduced|very low|lower} {level|degree|stage} lighting and {night|evening|night time} lighting at {very|extremely|really|quite} {low|reduced|very low|lower} operating {cost|price|expense|charge}.
