A bulb is a "container" with a flower (sometimes more than one) hidden in the center. The food in that "container" will provide the energy needed for healthy flowers at blooming time.

No. Bulb Food needs to be applied in the planting hole or around the base of existing bulbs. The proper feeding procedures for Bulbs are as follows: Planting Time – Mix Hoffman Bone Meal (4-12-0) into the planting media at a rate of 8lbs. Per 100 sqft. Be sure to put a handful of bone meal directly into each hole dug so it reaches the root zone. In Fall – Add Hoffman Bulb Food (3-10-6) as a top dressing to the flowerbed using 5lbs. Per 100 sqft. Water in thoroughly.

Halogen is a type of incandescent lamp. It has a tungsten filament just like a regular incandescent that you may use in your home, however the bulb is filled with halogen gas. When an incandescent lamp (one which produces light by heating a tungsten filament) operates, tungsten from the filament is evaporated into the gas of the bulb and deposited on the glass wall.

Individuals can purchase Eye Saver bulbs from their doctor or optometrist. Eye Saver is also available through eye care distributors. For help in locating a distributor, call 1-888- 417-6222. (back to top)

The primary difference is in size; compact fluorescent bulbs are made in special shapes (which require special technologies) to fit in standard household light sockets, like table lamps and ceiling fixtures. In addition, most compact fluorescent lamps have an "integral" ballast that is built into the light bulb, whereas most fluorescent tubes require a separate ballast independent of the bulb. Both types offer energy-efficient light.

Like paint, batteries, thermostats, and other hazardous household items, CFLs should be disposed of properly. Do not throw CFLs away in your household garbage if better disposal options exist. To find out what to do first check www.earth911.org (where you can find disposal options by using your zip code) or call 1-877-EARTH911 for local disposal options. Another option is to check directly with your local waste management agency for recycling options and disposal guidelines in your community.

The white powder that you see inside a fluorescent lamp is called phosphor, which is a substance that emits white, visible light whenever it absorbs light waves. Both compact fluorescent bulbs and fluorescent tubes contain a gas that gives off invisible light when excited by electricity. This invisible light travels to the phosphor coating on the bulb, where it is transformed into light visible to the human eye.

Puncture resistant gloves are recommended for cleaning up broken glass. After picking up all large fragments, wipe area thoroughly to clean any remaining glass or phosphor residue. If necessary, ventilate area to remove any remaining fine phosphor dust. After handling broken lamps, wash hands and face thoroughly. Incidental exposure to lamp contents is not harmful. The basic phosphor used in the manufacture of fluorescent lamps is a relatively inert phosphate.

Eye Saver is an incandescent bulb. NASA conducted research with other light sources but found the incandescent light bulb is the best light source for this application because it produces the maximum amount of light with less glare. (back to top)

The type of bulb required for the KosherLamps are called Compact Fluorescent Light Bulbs (CFL) or Energy Saving Bulbs. These are readily available at hardware stores and other stores such as Walmart, Home Depot and Target. The bulbs are inexpensive and will last for many Shabbosim. In fact, you can buy some extra bulbs and use them in your regular light fixtures. You will save lots of money because they use up to 75% less electricity than standard bulbs.

You don't. LEDs are extremely reliable and have been totally over engineered in all OceanLED products thus adding more status to their reliability. An LED will never fail, it will only ever gradually die over time. If there is a problem there will never be a catastrophic failure as with traditional bulbs. In the rare circumstance there is a fault, the entire fixture needs to be replaced.

Both regular incandescent bulbs and halogen bulbs create light by heating a filament (made of tungsten) inside the bulb; the heat makes the filament white-hot, producing the light that you see. Usually, the bulb burns out when the filament wears out. The filament on a regular incandescent bulb wears out over time because the tungsten on the filament evaporates and is redeposited on the bulb's glass.

All of these components are designed together to work as a system and meet Federal regulations. Simply substituting a Xenon bulb for any other light source does not provide a legal headlamp beam pattern.

The bulb in your tanning lamp will last about 250-300 hours which is about 1600 10 minute sessions. The bulbs do not burn out, they eventually lose effectiveness even though they will appear to be working. When you notice there is no longer any tanning effect you should change the bulb. Changing the bulb is easy. There are instructions in your manual and you may order replacement bulbs any time.

Aim the RM-1 Remote Control at the Remote Control Receiver and press the [W] button on the RM-1 to open the shutter. The shutter will not be released if the subject is not in focus. The photographer should stand behind or to one side of the camera so that the autofocus does not focus on the photographer. Under bright light conditions, the remote control lamp may be difficult to see, making it hard to determine whether or not the picture has been taken.

UV bulbs are rated in hours of effective UV emission, after which their output is too low to control algae. Our bulbs are designed to provide at least 60% of their original UVC output at 9000 hours, at which point we recommend replacing them. 9000 hours is a year’s use, and most ponds need UV the most in the Spring, so we recommend replacing the bulbs once a year in the Spring for 100% output when you need it most.

Never touch the bulb glass with grease, oil, or your skin as oil from your hands can shorten the life of the bulb. If you do touch the bulb, remove these oils with alcohol and a very soft cotton cloth. HID bulbs that are exposed to oils and grease will shatter and are not covered under the 1-year warranty.
