Best Answer

250 V is not a nominal voltage used in Europe or in North America, although it may be elsewhere in the world. If so, then, yes, there will be 100-W lamps marketed for that particular voltage in that particular part of the world.

The nominal voltage in Europe is 230 V and the nominal voltage (for lamps) in North America is 120 V. So, in Europe and North America, 100-W lamps are rated at 230 V and 120 V respectively.

Yes. Many 12 volt bulbs get very dangerously hot, for instance the 12 volt bulbs that are commonly used in vehicle headlights and in small 12 volt 50 watt overhead ceiling lights in homes.


Can i use 240 volt 50 watt instead of 240volt 35 watt bulbs?

That depends on the wiring, the light socket, switch(es) and any other equipment in the circuit. You should never use a bulb that is larger than the original circuit was designed for.


What is brighter 60 Watt 110 volt or 60 Watt 220 volt?

If the voltage supplied to the lamps is its operating voltage both lamps will have relatively the same output in brightness. If the 60 watt 110 volt lamp is used on a 220 volt supply, it will glow very brightly and then the lamp's filament will burn open. If the 60 watt 220 volt lamp is used on a 110 volt supply, the lamp will glow at half brightness, but it will last for a very long time before the filament burns open.


Power consumed by two 100watts bulbs in series?

100 watt, 110 volt on 110 volt supply? Assuming this is correct, power = voltage squared divided by resistance; two identical bulbs will result in the resistance doubling, so the total power used will be 1/2 the normal amount used by a single bulb - 50 watts.
