1. What is a Halogen Bulb?
A halogen bulb has tungsten filaments (the part that causes illumination) and is composed of halogen gas on the inside. The halogen bulb has
the capacity to burn hotter and brighter than incandescent bulbs (regular light bulbs). Halogen light appears clearer or whiter and often lasts longer
because they conduct light more efficiently. The glass part of a halogen bulb is not meant to be handled with bare hands (which causes
contamination by grease or dirt). Use a clean dry cloth instead and avoid touching the glass with your fingers entirely.
2. What is a Fluorescent Bulb?
A gas that is contained inside a fluorescent bulb "excites" as the electrical current runs through the bulb; producing light. Fluorescent is the most
efficient amongst Halogen or Incandescent bulbs. Being gas-based, fluorescent lights require a ballast for the regulation of electrical flow
throughout the bulb. For this reason, dimmers are not compatible with fluorescent light bulbs.
3. What is a Xenon Light Bulb?
Xenon is a kin to halogen yet contains a inert gas. For the most part the light is clearer & shines brighter than halogen lights. You can find Xenon
bulbs in under cabinet lighting and showcasing artwork. Xenon lights are a relatively new technology.
4. What is an LED Light?
LED is an Acronym for Light Emitting Diode. It produces light energy as electricity passes through the bulb. Already a standard in the electronic
industry because of their highly efficient use of energy, LEDs are becoming increasingly popular in household lighting.
5. Why Do My Light Bulbs Constantly Burn Out?
Using an incorrectly sized light bulb could be a contributing factor because when the light becomes overly hot it causes the elements to burn out.
The best rule of thumb is to simply check the fixture for its recommendations. In cases where the light bulb is correctly-sized a loose or faulty
electrical connection could be causing the burnout.
6. Why Does My Light Hum?
It could be time to change the bulb. For a fluorescent light, the ballast could be causing the humming. It is important to use the correct type of bulb
for the fluorescent fixture to avoid this problem.
7. How Do I Get A Broken Bulb Out of a Socket?
Switch off the power to avoid electrical shock. Using a new light bulb to "back-out" the broken one from the socket sometimes works; simply press
the new bulb in and turn it counterclockwise, not pressing too hard. If it will not release call a licensed electrician.
