NO! There are 50 bulbs in a 2.5 volt string or 125 volts.

There are 35 bulbs in a 3.5 volt string or 122.5 volts.

If you put 50 3.5 volt bulbs in you will have 175 volts and most american house have 110 volt service so you will have dim bulbs.

Let's do the math. Watts equals Volts times Amps. So, a 3.5-volt bulb is expecting 0.12 Amps meaning 0.42 Watts. If you decrease the Volts to 2.5 Volts, it will now be 0.21 Watts. So, the answer is: it's okay. (For the smarties, I solved for the resistance of the bulb, determined the current, and applied 2.5 volts)

Yes you can. It will be dimmer than a 2.5v bulb, but it will work. However if you replace a 3.5v bulb with a 2.5v bulb, it will burn out quickly.

Can you use 220 volt light bulb on 120 volt system - I know the reverse would probably blow the bulb so wouldn't European 220 Volt do ok in 120 volt socket or would it be dimmer than it normally would?

Yes a 220 volt light bulb will run on a 120 volt circuit but at 1/4 of the wattage that the light bulb is rated at. A 100 watt light bulb on 220 would would be equal to a 25 watt light bult on 120 volt system.


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

Assuming the batteries have a voltage that matches the bulb's requirement, you would need at least 2 AA batteries connected in series to power a 25-watt bulb. This setup would provide enough voltage and current to light up the bulb.

Will a 25 watt light bulb effect a plant's growth?

Yes, if the bulb is incandescent, and you change from a higher wattage bulb to a 25 watt bulb the future growth will be smaller.


How do you get amperes of 25 watts bulb?

To calculate the amperage of a 25-watt bulb, you need to divide the wattage by the voltage at which the bulb operates. For example, if the bulb operates at 120 volts, you would divide 25 watts by 120 volts to get the amperage.
