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?

A fluorescent light bulb typically operates on a voltage range of 100-277 volts, depending on the specific model and design. The most common standard voltage for residential use in the United States is 120 volts.


How do you use Japanese light bulb 100V in Malaysia which is 240V?

To use a Japanese light bulb (100V) in Malaysia (240V), you will need to use a step-down transformer to convert the voltage from 240V to 100V. This will allow the light bulb to function properly without being damaged by the higher voltage. Make sure to use a transformer that is rated for at least the wattage of the light bulb to ensure safe operation.


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?

A typical big light bulb, like an incandescent bulb, usually requires around 120 volts to operate. However, it's always best to check the specific voltage requirements listed on the bulb itself or its packaging to ensure safe and proper operation.


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?

No, changing the light bulb wattage would not convert the chandelier from 110v to 220v. You would need a voltage converter or transformer to safely use a 110v chandelier in a 220v country. As long as the replacement bulb stays within the maximum wattage specified by the chandelier, you can use the original wattage.

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 many batteries does it take to light up a 25 watt bulb?

Is the bulb a 12 volt bulb or a 120 volt bulb?Or does it have some other voltage such as 230 volts which is very common in Europe and many other countries of the world?This question cannot be answered without knowing at least the voltage of the light bulb and also the voltages of the batteries that are being asked about.

How many potatoes does it take to light a LED bulb completely?

The number of potatoes needed to light an LED bulb depends on several factors, including the size and type of the potato, the LED bulb's voltage and current requirements, and the setup used. Typically, a single potato can produce about 0.5 volts and a small amount of current, so you would need several potatoes connected in series to achieve the necessary voltage to power an LED bulb. Generally, it may take around 5 to 10 potatoes to light a standard low-voltage LED bulb effectively.


Can you plug a 220V light bulb into a 240V base?

Yes, you can plug a 220V light bulb into a 240V base. The slight increase in voltage should not affect the operation of the light bulb significantly, as most light bulbs have a tolerance range built-in to handle small voltage fluctuations. However, it's always a good idea to check the manufacturer's specifications for the light bulb to ensure safe operation.
