Yes, but the bulb will only operate at 60 watts and only in one of the switch positions. To shut the bulb off you will have to switch through the other two positions.

∙ 13y agoIf the fitting says 150w that is the most powerful bulb you can use without it overheating. 250w is too much.

Can a 250 watt heat bulb go into any lamp?
no the fixture has to be rated for the size and type of the bulb. most fixtures are not rated for 250W
How much electricity does a typical sodium vapour street lamp use?
In my experience (northeast USA) most HIGH PRESSURE SODIUM street lights are 150 watt or 250 watt For example in NYC 250 watts is used at intersections and 150 watt everywhere else
Can i replace a 250-watt halogen bulb with a 3000-watt halogen bulb?
No. Only replace lamps in a fixture that the manufacturer of the fixture recommends. By installing larger than recommended lamps this could create a fire due to the increase of heat generated by the over size lamp.
How much power does a 250 watt hps light use an hour?
compare to different lamps mv lamp,hpsv lamps & cfl lamp these are how mush energy comsumed for 225w lamp
Will a 300 watt low voltage transformer power 150 watts of bulbs 250 feet away?

Can you use a 400W high pressure sodium bulb in a metal halide ballast?
No, the ballast has to be matched to the lamp. 250 watt ballast, 250 watt lamp. Also be sure to match the lamp type to the proper ballast even though the wattage is the same. HPS ballast to HPS lamp, Metal halide ballast to metal halide lamp and mercury vapour lamp to mercury vapour ballast.

No. Only replace lamps in a fixture that the manufacturer of the fixture recommends. By installing larger than recommended lamps this could create a fire due to the increase of heat generated by the over size lamp.
Can a 250 watt lamp be used in a regular lamp?
Under two conditions it can. One the fixture that the lamp goes into has to be rated at 250 watts. This is highly unlikely in a home lighting fixture. The other is that the lamp has to be an incandescent lamp.
How do you connect 250 watt bulb into a ballast?
If the 250 watt bulb is a HID or similar type the ballast comes complete with the fixture. The bulb socket is also part of the fixture and comes pre-wired to the socket. To connect the bulb to the fixture all that has to be done is just screw it into the fixture's socket.
Current drawn by a 250-watt incandescent lamp operating at 120 volts is?
2.083 amp
The current drawn by a 250-watt incandescent lamp operating at 120 volts is?
P = i*v250w = i * 250vi = 250/120 = 2.08a
Do you have to use a ballasts for a 250 watt metal halide?
Yes, the ballast is an intricate part of the fixture that the lamp screws into regardless of what size wattage the lamp is.
How much energy does a 250watt bulb use per hour How much energy does the average light bulb use per hour?
There are many factors that go into calculating the energy usage of a light bulb. The wattage printed on the lamp is only the energy use of the lamp when it is new. Depending on the kind of lamp he energy required to run it will increase as it ages. For example a Metal Halide lamp can use up to 50% more power in the last 20% of its life.Another factor is the ballast that may be required to run the lamp. Each ballast has a "ballast factor" which can increase or reduce the overall energy usage of the lamp. Many ballasts have a factor as high as 1.2 which would increase the energy consumption of the lamp to 300 watts.AnswerThe question is asking about energy, not power as per the previous answer. To find the energy consumed by a lamp, or any device come to that, multiply its power rating by the time for which it is used. So a 250-W lamp will use 250 W.h (watt hours) of energy in one hour, 500 W.h in two hours, and so on. Energy is more-commonly expressed in kilowatt hours, for the purpose of billing however, where 250 W.h corresponds to 0.25 kW.h, etcAnswer: In an hour it uses 250 watt-hours. The average bulb probably uses 20-60 watt-hours each hour.
