How do you loosen a light bulb that is stuck in the fixture?

One way to loosen a light bulb that is stuck in the fixture is to break the bulb. You can then use half of a potato to unscrew the bulb from the fixture. You can also make a loop with duct tape, adhere the middle of the loop to the light bulb. Use the two ends to twist the bulb out of the fixture.


Pressure bulb can you use a sodium bulb in a mercury fixture?

Can you use a 120 watt bulb to replace a 65 watt bulb?

Look at the wattage capacity of the fixture. Some fixtures are limited to 65 watts, some can take much more. If you use a larger bulb than what the fixture was designed for you create a fire risk. If you need to use a larger bulb but the fixture is limited to 65 watts, you need to change the fixture.


What is the cost for an LED ceiling light fixture?

Normally a light fixture can use either LED, CFL, Halogen, or Incandescent bulbs unless otherwise specified on the fixture. LED bulb prices are coming down but they are still very expensive. If the fixture is mounted so high it is hard to get to then an LED would be a good choice. Of if you plan to live in the home for over 10 years then an LED makes sense. Otherwise a CFL or Halogen bulb may be a better choice at this point in time. I suspect you will see the price of LED bulbs come down drastically in the next couple of years. Might be better the wait awhile as of right now 1/2014 the cheapest 60 watt equivalent 10 watt LED bulb will cost you around $10. But you also have to consider the savings in electricity which is a factor. The choice is yours.


Can you use a 67 watt light bulb in place of a 60 watt bulb?

yes, it can be used - single phase voltage of 230v. 50HZ is important


Can you use a 150 watt bulb in a 250 watt bulb fixture?

Yes, the rating of the fixture is the maximum size bulb that the fixture should take. The fixture is rated to dissipate a certain amount of heat that is generated by a bulb. By putting in a bigger bulb and thereby generating more heat than the fixture was designed for, could destroy the fixture. Some fires have been known to start this way.


How many watt does an exit light use?

If the exit fixture uses a LED lamp it will have a 1 to 3 watt rating. If it is a incandescent bulb, each lamp will draw about 25 watts each.


How do you chose a led light use for long time?

Check the rated hours on the light. An LED will lose brightness over time, so a lamp rated at 40,000 hours will 'burn out' on average by that time, but if it is not burnt out, will only light at half brightness. Note that most LED fixtures are a combination of several LED elements, so if the fixture has 20 LED elements and is rated at 20,000 hours, at that time 10 of the elements will be burnt out and the other half will be only half as bright as when the fixture was new (on average). Remember that most of the these ratings are engineering estimates, since a rated life of several years cannot be proven on a bulb that has only been available for a year or two. If the fixture does not use the precise installation method, voltage and cooling design as specified in the element's design, the bulb life will suffer.


Can a 220V light fixture be used in the US?

Yes, you can easily use it. Just install it as you would any other 120 volt light fixture and change the bulb from a 240 volt bulb to a 120 volt bulb. It will work just fine.

Can I replace a heat lamp bulb with a regular bulb?

Yes, as long as the voltage is the same and the bulb has the same or less wattage. The fixture is rated at a certain wattage that can be found on a label somewhere on the fixture. Never use a larger wattage than what is stated on this label.


How do you change the tag light on a 1998 Crown Victoria?

Very easy to do. Remove the two cap screws from the lens fixture (uses a 6mm socket, I believe). Very carefully use a flat tip screwdriver to gently pry the fixture from the underneath side of the trunk lid, and it should hang down with the light fixture attached to it. The fixture is made of a rubber-like plastic, so gently working it side to side will free it from the lens fixture. Remove the bulb from the light fixture by pulling it straight out (looks like an ancient camera bulb). You could use a 161 or 168 light bulb, but I used a 194 bulb (costs a little over $2.00 at O'Reillys) to reinstall into the light fixture. Going in reverse method, place the light fixture into lens fixture, and reassemble the lens fixture back to the trunk lid. Piece of cake!
