Best Answer

Fuses or breakers are used to protect the conductor to the load. A #14 wire conductor is rated for 15 amps. Most home circuitry is done with #14 wire. The minimum size breaker in an electrical panel is 15 amp so it looks like a 15 amp fuse or breaker can be used for a 100 watt light bulb.

Will a 5000 watt amp wiring kit work well on a 1600 watt amp?

Yes I do not see why not as long as the in line fuse does not exceed the power the amp is pulling. You want the fuse to blow instead of the amp so you need a fuse that can only handle 1600 watts or the equivalent to....


Can 150 volt amp output handle a 100 watt bulb?

Yes it can provided the volotage is right, because for a bulb the volt-amps are equal to the watts - if it is an incandesent bulb. For a fluoresecent bulb the power-factor must be better than 100/150 or 0.67.


Can you run a 100 watt bulb with low voltage cables?

The cable voltage is set by the voltage of the supply and not by what is connected to it. But a 100 watt amplifier on a 120 v supply would draw less than 1 amp even at high volume.

How much electricity a light bulb uses?

That depends on the type of bulb AND on it's power usage. An old incandescent bulb of 100 watts uses about an amp, a 60 watt uses about a half amp. But a florescent bulb putting out the same light would consume about half the current, and a LED bulb would use less than half that.
