    Efficiency of Fluorescent Lights

    I read in a science question/answer book that it is takes as much energy to turn on a fluorescent light as it doesn to run it for 1 hour. So if this is true, it would mean that if you plan on using the light again within an hour, it is more efficient to leave it on, rather than turning it off...

    How do flourescant lights work/run out?

    I was wondering how flourescant lights work, and how they eventually wear out. I'm not sure, but it seems that you just have halogen gas inside the glass tube, you pump some electricity into the gas, it excites the atoms and they give off light as their electrons go from higher energy levels...

    The Relationship Between Wavelength & Stop Lights

    Why the stop lights at the back of cars are red ? Some say because red light is visible from far distances. If that's true, is any relation between this property of red light and its wave length ?
