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.

Will a 12 volt bulb get hot?
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.
How do you determine watts per square foot and total volt amp?
For lighting using CFL bulbs you can use 10 square feet per watt. The volt-amps is the volts times the amps, or the watts divided by the power factor. Most CFL bulbs are marked with the voltage and the current.
Can an 18 watt bulb be used in low voltage outdoor lighting?
If it is an 18 watt 12 volt bulb, then yes. But an 18 watt 120 volt bulb - then no.
Is 120 volts kind of the same as 1850 watts?
No, Volt and Watt is two diffrent things. 1 Volt * 1 Ampare = 1 Watt
What is the amount of power consumed by a 60 watt 220 volt lamp when it is connected across 110 volt supply?
What is the amount of power consumed by a 60 watt 220 volt lamp when it is connected across 110 volt supply?
Does a 220 volt 100 watt cost less to operate than a 110 volt with the same bulbs?
no.
How many watts are in 100 2.5 volt bulbs?
This question does is not answerable. A watt is a volt times an amp. With out knowing how many amps the bulbs use there is no answer.
How many 100 watt bulbs can a 110 volt on 100foot line?
17

How can you minimize the wastage of electricity?
Define "wasting electricity"? A 100 watt light bulb burning in the attic 24/7 is waste, if you ask me. If you mean "reduce electrical consumption"....yeah, lots of ways. Use 60 watt bulbs instead of 100 watt bulbs. Or better yet - use a flashlight instead of bulbs. Use a gas hot water heater instead of electric. Raise your AC thermostat 10 degrees. Use LED bulbs. Get rid of all your televisions. etc... etc..... You didn't say "...and be practical about it.

How much does 1 volt of electricity cost?
Electricity is not sold by the volt. It is sold by the watt, a unit of power. One watt equals one volt-ampere.
Can an 18 watt bulb be used in low voltage outdoor lighting?
If it is an 18 watt 12 volt bulb, then yes. But an 18 watt 120 volt bulb - then no.
Where did the watt came from?
A watt is the product of amperage times voltage.
What is ampire?
Ampire. watt/volt
Do 60 watt bulbs work in 75 watt lights?
Yes.
What is the largest number of 100 watt bulbs which can be used safely from a 240 volt supply using a 5 amp fuse?
12 bulbs, as P=vi, =240x5=1200, /100=12 though you should prob do less than this.
