What Companies Hold Patents on White LED Bulb Technology and Stands to Benefit the Most From It.?

Nichia Corporation, a Japanese corp

1. What is better, a CFL or an LED bulb? What is more modern, and what consumes less power?

This is my third house and been using LED's for many years now, I have not replaced one yet and the light depends on what you buy. My lights are all in the 6000 Kelvin range, the inside of the house is illuminated like daylight. Some bulbs that I use are 9watts, and others are 6 or 12 watts, depending on where they are located. The Kelvin rating is for light color and the wattage determine the intensity of said light

2. Does a 1995 Ford Thunderbird marker light take LED or bulb?

Given the reliability of LEDs, they are probably telling you the truth: the whole thing needs to be replaced...or you need to take it out and find someone good with a soldering iron. Many times LEDs are soldered in place rather than popped in like a bulb. Their high reliability makes this a sensible move and probably even extends the life of the part on average. That being the case, you will need to take the whole part out and find someone willing to replace an LED...or find someone and realize it's cheaper to either live with it or buy a whole new one.

3. Is it safe to use a 100 watt LED bulb in a 3-way lamp that specifies using incandescent bulbs only?

LED's of any consumer wattage run cool enough to use in any incandescent-rated socket. The warning is specific to halogen incandescent bulbs, which run hotter than standard incandescents. Go for it

4. Why is my 5K potentiometer sparking during regulation of LED bulb? [closed]

Assuming that your transformer is stepping down to a reasonable voltage, here is a guess. When your potentiometer wiper is near the lower end, the resistance seen by the transformer will be very low, and the current will be very high, causing sparks and overheating.simulate this circuit - Schematic created using CircuitLab.

5. Where Can I Find A MR11 / MR16 6Volt LED Bulb?

6 Volt Led Bulb

6. Do I need to remove the ballast to use an LED bulb?

Hello Roksana Yasmin Parvin, Do I need to remove the ballast to use an LED bulb (tube)?You do not have to, but I would advise you to do so, with the ballast connected it consumes energy, rather partially defeating the idea of using the LED tube.If you follow the instructions supplied with the tube, there are two main types of tube.L one end N the other. __or L & N one end and shorted at the other, with this type the "hot" end of the tube goes to L & N end, DO NOT REVERSE. Regards, James. Do I need to remove the ballast to use an LED bulb?

7. LED bulb replacement in Dusk-Dawn Outdoor 175W light

You will need to bypass the ballast! Failing to do so will fry the LED. Corncob LEDs are always a bad idea. They are inefficient. They intentionally defeat the best characteristic of LED -- that they make a wedge of light, which is what you really want.Look around at lights. You have wallpack lights painting a super bright spot on the wall (useless), path lights lighting a huge circle not just the path . .. and oh, the skyglow! Just here at this restaurant the car dealer's halide light is blasting in the window from across the highway. Meanwhile at the gas station, the canopy lights make the pump area glow pleasantly, but even the trees in front of the place are pitch black. Their lights are LED and are properly aimed. This saves them a fortune. Fact is, halide lights are about as efficient as LED. If you go with a corncob LED, you wo not save any money unless the LED is less bright: this is a common con-job when selling LEDs. I saw one ad claiming their 45 watt, 3300 lumen LED is more efficient that the 175 watt metal halide . um. .. a 175W MH is 14,600 lumens. It would take 4 of those corncobs to make the same light, and it's actually less efficient.Your linked one is 7000 lm, half the brightness of your MH.On the other hand, if you aim the LED in exactly the wedge of light that you want, you are still no more lumen efficient, but you are only paying for the lumens that are actually on target. We once had seven 400W halide lights (3150W) lighting up a 400' right-of-way (and also, half the town). They were on city poles, so the location was not good. This was costing $1600/year. I specced a mere 250W of extremely well-aimed LED spots, $125/year. Anyway, for former halide lights, I just mount an aimed fixture inside the old diffuser, aimed out the hole in the bottom. A tiny amount of splash light makes the diffuser glow, it looks nice
