A light bulb is manufactured to operate on a specific voltage. The voltage can be a low as needed and the manufacturer will compute the size of the filament that is needed for a specific wattage. If you are referring to a threshold voltage then that is another question that needs to be asked.

How many volts does a fluorescent light bulb need?
The correct voltage should be printed on the light bulb.
What will happen if this 4.5 v bulb is connected to a 1.5 v cell?
The bulb need the correct voltage to operate. Your bulb would light if it is a 1.5 volt light. So the voltage of the supply and the light must be matched. Too little voltage won't light the light, too much will light it too much and blow it up.
How many volts does it take to power a big light bulb?
For lighting up a city you need 120 volts in the USA and 230 volts in Europe. It's just the usual voltage the light bulbs are needing.
Can you use 110v chandler in 220v country by changing a 220v light bulb The chandler said max 100w light bulb so do you need to use a smaller watts of a 220v light bulb?
The light bulb should still have the same limit - 100 watts, because the limit is set practically by how much heat they produce. You need to make sure the wiring in the chandelier is correctly insulated for the higher voltage.
What does a complete circuit need to make electrical devices work?
A source of electrons, a path, and something to use the electrons.

How do you wire a high watt light to a battery?
Need more information. Wattage of bulb, voltage of bulb, voltage of battery and wire size of the circuit.
Could batteries light a light bulb?
Yes, even a potato can light a light bulb. Yes. If the batteries match the voltage of the bulb, they can light it. Flashlights have bulbs and batteries that power them. If you mean a household light bulb, then you'd need many batteries in series (80 of the 1.5 volt batteries).
Do you need a battery to light a light bulb in a circuit?
Yes as long as the battery and bulb are rated at the same voltage. (Boy Scouts do it every day with flashlights.)

Can a light bulb work on a DC voltage?
It can, but if you're wanting to run a 120v light bulb on DC, you'll need 120v DC to get the rated output. That's a lot of batteries. It's easier, and more sensible, to find a DC rated light bulb, such as an RV bulb.

How do you light up a light bulb with a battery?
You need: two pieces of wire, a battery, an electric light bulb to work on the same voltage as the battery and a bulb holder that fits the bulb.Connect one wire to the positive post of the battery and the other end of this wire to one of the terminals on the bulb holder.Connect the other wire to the negative post of the battery and the other end to the other terminal of the bulb holder. Screw the bulb into the holder and the bulb should light up.Another answerThere are many different types of light bulbs. Some, such as automobile lights and solar garden lights, were designed for use with batteries.Ordinary light bulbs have an electric wire that glows brightly when the right voltage is applied. These will work with either direct current from batteries or alternating current from a power line or generator, but the amount of voltage must be correct for the specific light bulb or, if the voltage is too low, it will not illuminate properly. If the voltage is too high the light bulb will be destroyed.Fluorescent light bulbs normally work from alternating current, but a direct current adapter called a DC inverter can be used to change battery power to alternating current.
How much voltage a 0v bulb need to glow?
Some small voltage above 0.
To light up a light bulb we need to connect to a?
To light a light bulb you need to connect to a source of electricity like a battery or an electrical outlet.
What materials do you need to make a potato light up a light bulb?
Dissimilar metals with very different electronegativities as electrodes (copper and zinc are two good choices), wiring to complete a circuit, a light bulb that does not take very much voltage to light, a potato, and something else to eat for lunch.
