Nā hōʻailona o kahi ʻōpuʻu kukui ʻino a i ʻole hewa

ʻO nā hōʻailona maʻamau, ʻoi aku ka liʻiliʻi o ka puʻupuʻu a ʻoi aku paha ka mālamalama ma mua o ka maʻamau.

I ka wā i haku ʻia ai nā ʻōpuʻu kukui LED, ua manaʻo ʻia lākou e pani koke i nā ʻōpuʻu kukui maʻamau. Eia nō naʻe, ʻo ka hapa nui o nā kaʻa, nā kaʻa, a me nā SUV e holo ana ma nā alanui o ʻAmelika e mau ana nā ʻōpuʻu maʻamau i loko o ke kumu o kā lākou kaʻa. Hoʻopoina pinepine ʻia kēia ʻāpana i ka lawelawe maʻamau a me ka mālama ʻana, akā inā ʻaʻole ia, paʻakikī loa ka loaʻa ʻana o nā mea i loko o ke kaʻa, i ke ao a me ka pō.

He aha ka ipukukui kalaka?

ʻO ka ʻōlelo maʻalahi, ʻo ke kukui ʻōpala he pahu kukui liʻiliʻi ma luna o ke kumu o kāu kaʻa. E ʻā ana ia i ka wā e wehe ʻia ai ka puʻu a i ʻole ke poʻi kumu a hoʻāla ʻia e nā ʻano hoʻololi relay e hāʻawi wale i ka mana i kēia ʻāpana ke wehe ʻia ke kumu. Ma muli o kēia, ʻo ke kukui ʻōpala kekahi o nā ʻōpuʻu kukui laha loa e hiki ke hoʻomau no nā makahiki no ka mea ʻaʻole i hoʻohana ʻia. Eia nō naʻe, e like me nā ʻōpuʻu kukui maʻamau, hiki ke haki a ʻaʻahu paha ma muli o ka makahiki a i ʻole, i kekahi manawa, ka hopena, hiki ke haki i ke filament i loko.

He mea maʻalahi ke ʻike i ka wā i poino ai kahi ʻōpuʻu kukui i loko o ke kumu a pono e hoʻololi ʻia; akā naʻe, aia kekahi mau hōʻailona hōʻailona maʻamau e hiki ke hoʻomaopopo i ka mea hoʻokele kaʻa i kahi pilikia e pili ana i kēia ʻāpana, no laila hiki iā lākou ke hana i ka hana a hoʻololi iā ia ma mua o ka pau ʻana.

Eia kekahi o nā hōʻailona maʻamau e loaʻa ana kahi pilikia o ka ʻōpuʻu kukui a pono e hoʻololi ʻia e kekahi mīkini loea.

He pōʻeleʻele ka puʻupuʻu ma mua o ka maʻamau

Hoʻomaka ka ʻōpuʻu kukui maʻamau ke hele ka uila ma ka ʻōpuʻu kukui. E hele ana kekahi hōʻailona uila ma o ka ʻōpuʻu kukui a e ʻā ana kekahi pūʻulu filament uila i ka wā e kaa ana ka ikehu ma ka ʻōpuʻu kukui. I kekahi mau hihia, hiki i kēia mau filament ke hoʻomaka i ka pau ʻana, hiki ke hoʻopau i ka puʻupuʻu e ʻā aʻe ma mua o ka maʻamau. ʻOiai ʻaʻole nānā ka hapa nui o nā mea kaʻa i ka ʻōlinolino pololei o ke kukui ʻōpala, maʻalahi kēia hōʻailona hoʻolaha e ʻike. Inā wehe ʻoe i ka pahu a ʻoi aku ka liʻiliʻi o ke kukui ma mua o ka mea maʻamau, e hana i nā hana e wehe a hoʻololi i ka ʻōpuʻu kukui kumu, a i ʻole e kelepona i kāu mechanic hōʻoia ASE kūloko e hiki ke hoʻopau i kēia papahana no ʻoe.

ʻOi aku ka mālamalama o ke kukui ma mua o ka maʻamau

Ma ka ʻaoʻao ʻē aʻe o ka hoohalike, ma kekahi mau kūlana, e ʻā ana ka ʻōpuʻu kukui ma mua o ka maʻamau inā hoʻomaka ia e pau. Pili hou kēia i ke kahe ʻana o ka uila i loko o ke kukui ke lilo nā filament i mea palupalu, ʻino a hoʻomaka paha e haki. E like me ke kūlana ma luna, hiki iā ʻoe ke hana i ʻelua mau mea:

• ʻO ka mua, e hoʻololi iā ʻoe iho i ka ʻōpuʻu kukui, ʻaʻole ia he paʻakikī e pili ana i ke kaʻa āu a me kou pae hōʻoluʻolu ma ka wehe ʻana i ka uhi o ka pahu.
• ʻO ka lua, e ʻike i kahi mechanic e pani i ke kukui no ʻoe. He manaʻo maikaʻi paha kēia inā loaʻa iā ʻoe kahi kaʻa hou kahi e kū ai ke kukui ʻōpala i loko o ka poʻi kumu a paʻakikī ke komo. E loaʻa i kahi mīkini loea nā mea pono e hana ai i ka hana.

ʻO ke kukui ʻōpala kekahi o nā ʻāpana kaʻa maʻalahi loa a ʻo kekahi o nā mea maʻalahi loa e hoʻololi i ka hapa nui o nā kaʻa pre-2000. Inā ʻike ʻoe he ʻemi a ʻoi aku ka mālamalama o kāu kukui kumu ma mua o ka mea maʻamau, a i ʻole ke pio ʻana o ke kukui, e hoʻokaʻaʻike i kekahi o kā mākou mīkini ʻoihana e pani i kāu kukui kumu.
