How Do You Make A Light Bulb Last Longer?
The main component in a light bulb is its filament. The filament in a bulb is the thin fine wire strung between two contact points. Both the ends of the filament are connected to electrical leads that are connected to the electrical wiring outside through the metal base. The circuit is completed when the bulb is screwed in a light socket and the light is switched on. The first light bulbs invented by Thomas Alva Edison had carbon filaments. Over the years scientists have found better ways of making filaments. The light bulbs used in homes are made of tungsten filament. For these bulbs, there are two primary reasons for them to burn out quickly: high voltage in the circuit and vibration. Use a fan bulb or any other bulb that can withstand the vibrations. Fan bulbs have an extra filament that helps in reducing the vibrations that are caused due to the running fan. So fan bulbs have a longer life. They give off a soft yellow light which enhances the surroundings. Push the tester leads of
