Can one use 20W fluorescent tube lamps as a substitute to 40W lamps?

Wednesday, March 26th, 2008
matroosje asked:


I bought a second hand, mini sun bed to sustain a few bonsai trees, this winter, indoor. The sun bed has a build in ballast to power 6X40W fluorescent lamps, thus a 240W system (220V~50Hz). Unfortunately the UV-lamps do not emit the best spectrum needed for cultivation and growth. The lamps I need to replace the UV-lamps with, has to be 590mm in length, but the highest wattage, available in this length is 20W. I plan to keep 2 of the UV lamps in the system. I want to know if I am going to blow the 20W lamps by I replacing the old 40W lamps. If so, why?

As one turns on more lamps in an ordinary household circuit, will the current in the first lamp be affected? What will happen to the line current? To the line voltage? Why is it not customary to connect household electric lamp in series?

I need the spectrum (image), as well as lumens and colour temperature specifications, of the following lamps from Philips: TLK/40W (which is an UV lamp), Cool White 18W/840 and the Master TL-D Super 80 18W/827. Where can I find this kind of technical info, I have tried a crazy lot of searches with poor results.

Can I use ultraviolet lamps as bactericide for my swimming pool and reduce the chlorine concentration?

Friday, March 14th, 2008
jarynth5 asked:


What kind of UV lamps would do? I’d activate them off pool operation hours. In an extreme scenario, could I use tanning lamps and even leave them on while te pool is being used? It wouldn’t be much different from the real solar radiation.

Any experience so far?

Willie
