It is a light bulb that runs on direct current which is current that is steady unlike alternating current that switches every fiftieth or sixtieth of a second.
However, this distinction is not important on incandescent bulbs since they can be powered in either direction. When heating a coil of wire, it doesn't matter if the current only flows in one direction (DC) or alternates. The only things that matter are the voltage and amount of current available.

What makes a dc bulb different from an ac bulb?
The voltage source that is applied to them is the difference between AC and DC light bulbs.
How does an 120VAC LED light bulb work?
LED's (Light Emitting Diodes) work on DC current, not AC, so the AC needs to be stepped down to an appropriate voltage via a transformer (probably only a few volts), converted to DC via a rectifier and filter (to smooth out the ripple current). there are a constant driver in side the 120V AC led light bulb , this driver transfer the AC to DC, so the led could work with DC.
Would you expect to find dc or ac in the filament of a light bulb in your home. In the headlight of an automobile?
A.C. in your home and D.C. in your car.
Why do you have a light bulb?
Light bulb provide electrical light.
Would you expect to find DC or AC in the filament of a light bulb in your home?
The electrical grid in North America uses AC system. Your home is connected to the grid through your utility company. To answer the question, you will find AC in the filament of a light bulb in your home.
What is difference between ac and DC bulb?
we can check the dc with the help of tester give the reasonAnswerThere is no such thing as an 'AC light bulb' and a 'DC light bulb'. A light bulb doesn't care whether it is subjected to AC or to DC.
Can bulb works with DC?
Light bulb? Yes
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.
Is DC or AC used to light a light bulb in the home?
AC...
What makes a dc bulb different from an ac bulb?
The voltage source that is applied to them is the difference between AC and DC light bulbs.
Can a car battery light up a 60 watt regular light bulb with out using a power inverter?
Yes it it is a 12 volt DC light bulb. It will not operate a household 120 volt light bulb.
Can you power a light bulb with a piece of carpet?
Nope, Carpet will generate Static electricity and a light bulb needs AC or DC current.
What is it called when you have an uninterrupted path from a power source to a light bulb?
Direct current (DC).
Is a 360 watt 86 volt halogen light ac or DC?
A halogen bulb works equally well with AC or DC.
Does the bulb placed in series with bulb lightens with dc?
yes we can bulb placed in series with dc
