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.


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


Can you replace a 6 watt bulb with a 10 watt bulb?

As long as the lamp holder will take the larger wattage lamp and the current of the circuit is sized to take the larger current then yes, the lamps should be interchangeable.


How many amps do 8 40 watt fluorescent lights take?

It depends on the voltage and whether the lamps are actually 40 watts or 40 watt equivalent. Watts / volts = amps


Does fluorescent lamp work by DC voltage?

Fluorescent lamps can be used in the District of Columbia.If you were really asking if they can be supplied with direct current, the answer is yes, but they really don't like it. They prefer to be supplied with alternating current, or AC, so you'd have to "chop" the DC or use it to drive an inverter, which will change the DC into AC.There are florescent lamps and CFL's made specifically for 12 and 48 VDC applications available through specialty alternative energy stores.

Will a low watt transformer operate a fluorescent light bulb?

Apart from no, your question has no simple answer. Fluorescent lamps need a few kV to start them and have a 90V drop when running. All of that is provided by the "gear" needed to run a fluorescent lamp. In a compact fluorescent (CFL), the gear is inside the cap.

What is the lumen output for a 100 watt fluorescent lamp?

10-11 lumens per watt for incandescent bulbs 13-14 lumens per watt for halogen 50-60 lumens per watt for fluorescent


What length should a billiard table lamp be?

The typical bar table in the US uses a 4 foot fluorescent light with 2 40 watt lamps. The 9 foot tables most often have 3 incandescent lamps, each from 60 to 100 watts, inline above the table, although 8 foot fluorescent lamps are also used, with 2 to 4 40 watt lamps. For professional televised events, floodlights are typically used.


Can you put a higher watt bulbs in lower watt ballast?

It is not a good idea to mix lamps and ballasts. Ballasts are designed to output a specific voltage for the lamp that it is designed to be used on. By suppressing a wrong voltage on a lamp can shorten its life expectancy by a good deal.

What is the average energy energy consumption of an energy saving light bulb?

Fluorescent lighting is much more energy efficient than incandescent lamps, usually by as much as 60 to 80%. That also translates into a corresponding energy savings. I don't recall the exact figure off hand, but the light output from a fluorescent lamp is about three times it's rating. For instance, a 40 watt fluorescent puts out the equivalent light of a 120 watt incandescent bulb.


How many amps in a small table lamp?

A 120 volt table lamp with a 75 watt bulb will pull 0.625 amps. With a 100 watt bulb it will pull 0.833 amps. And with a modern fluorescent 13 watt bulb it will pull 0.108 amps.
