Depends on the wattage of the bulb. Formula is Power (watts) = Voltage * Current (A).
Therefore for a 55w bulb, in a 12V car, bulb draws 4.6Amps.

Can using larger wire sizes reduce amp draw?
Larger wires will not reduce the amperage draw of a device. Limiting amperage draw is accomplished by fuses wich blow when the amperage drawn across them exceeds their specifications.
How much amperage a 194 series bulb draws?
The 194 bulb is ~3.8 watts, at 14 volts they draw 0.271 amps.
Why do we use thicker wires for heaters than for lamps?
Heaters draw a lot more amperage. As your amperage increases, so does resistance to the flow of the current. Too much resistance, and your wire overheats, melts the casing, and can potentially catch fire.
How many amps are in a C battery?
The amperage drawn from a C cell battery is governed by the load resistance. The lower the resistive load the higher the amperage draw from the battery.
How many amps does an arc welder draw?
Always check the nameplate on the device. It will have the serial no., how many hertz it operates at, the voltage, and amperage. Their are different types, so the amperage will differ as well.
Can using larger wire sizes reduce amp draw?
Larger wires will not reduce the amperage draw of a device. Limiting amperage draw is accomplished by fuses wich blow when the amperage drawn across them exceeds their specifications.
How much amperage does a 12v LED draw?
Not enough to worry about. That's like asking how many amps does the memory preset's on your radio draw. It is in the .001-.01 range.
What makes a marine battery's terminals hot?
Amperage draw, excessive amperage draw, and or dirty & loose connections. This should be checked out if the temperature is elevated when not cranking your engine.
How much amperage does a three foot base booard heater draw?
You need to mention the voltage and wattage of the device to get the right answer

How many watts does a compact fluorescent bulb draw?
Look for an amperage on the ballast. Multiply this amperage by the connected line voltage. This will give you the wattage of the unit.
Can you run a motor of greater amperage draw with a motor of less amperage draw?
It looks like you are asking if a higher amperage motor can replace a lower amperage motor. It depends on what the amperage difference is. If the amperage is high enough to move the capacity of the wire out of its rated value then it should not be done.Remember motor conductors have to be rated at 125% of the motors nameplate amperage. As the amperage increases so does the HP and the motor's protection will also have to be increased or the motor will trip the lower overload protection settings.Also keep in mind that if the motor is three phase, running a motor with higher HP on a load that does not need the extra HP, it will lower the power factor of the supply distribution.
What is loading rate?
The maximum amperage draw or load that the device or wire can safely carry.
How much amperage for a 20 hotpoint stove?

What is circuit amperage?
Generally speaking an appliance (eg tv) is supplied with power so when it is off it has voltage supplied. After yo turn it on it starts to draw power called amperage the voltage doesn't get higheur but the amperage does Amperage is the load being drawn through a circiut
Are LED headlights much brighter than regular headlights?
LED headlights are much brighter than normal headlights. Yes, if you see much brighter headlights on a car, they are most likely going to be LED headlights.
