Is it safe to use a 130 volt light bulb in a 120 volt lamp?
Yes, because all manufactures figure in a minimal safety factor in order to pass UL code for people who don't follow recommended applications. <<>> A 130 volt bulb will not be as bright as a comparable bulb of the same wattage on 120 volts. Traffic signal light bulbs have a 130 volt rating. Used on 120 volt systems the bulbs last much longer because that are rated for a higher voltage. This bulb will gradually be replaced by LED lamps which have a much more significant life span.
Can a 12 2 low voltage line light up a 120 volt led light fixture?
What needs to be checked is the voltage of the low voltage line. If it is 120 v, that is suitable for a 120 v LED fitting. Second, is the line capable of carrying the current needed by the fixture. The answer to that is, probably, but it still needs checking.
Will a 117 volt led bulb work in a 110 volt circuit?
It should work okay.
How do you drop the 600-volt output power of a fluorescent ballast to use for an LED lamp?
You don't. The output of a ballast is for one purpose only and that is to operate the lamp that is designed for that ballast. You should be careful with high output ballasts as they can draw enough milliamps to lock your muscles up if the current is shorted through you.
How many amps does a led light draw?
Depends on the size of the LED light and the voltage applied. An example is an LED 24 volt globe light that pulls 8 watts which draw 0.333333 amps. Take an LED 120 volt light bulb draws 12 watts and will pull 0.1 amps. The same bulb at 240 volts wil draw 0.05 amps. it really depends on the watts and voltage applied. An average would be about 0.1 amps.
Can you use a 12 volt LED light bulb in a 120 volt light bulb socket?
Yes, as long as it has a filament for producing light for example a Tungsten Halogen Lamp, normal Incandescent or GLS lamp. If the lamp is rated at 12v it will run on either 12vac or 12vdc.
What are the best type of puck lights to buy and what size?
I recommend 120 volt 20 watt halogen if you are on a budget. If you can afford them 120 volt LED is even better and will last for years.
How many amps does a 120 volt AC 8 watt led bulb draw?
It is drawing .06 amps.

Can you use a 300 volt consumer LED light fixture in your 120 v residential system?
No but it is not clear where 300 v consumer lights can be bought anyway.
Which voltage under-cabinet lighting of the 2point5 inch puck-type style would produce less heat 12 volt - low voltage - or 120 volt - if both bulbs are rated at 20 watts?
Assumption that this is a incandescent filament style - 120v will be cooler as it's drawing less amps watts divided by volts = amps for a less hot lamp you'd need to shift Technologies to flurescent or LED
How is LED different from lamp?
similarity between lamp and LED- lamp in simple current is used to show that current is flowing and LED performs the same task but in electronic circuit .difference between lamp and LED-lamp in simple current is used to show that current is flowing and LED performs the same task more efficiently but in electronic circuit . so LED works more efficiently in electronic circuit than lamp which performs task in simple circuit.
An LED Desk Lamp Will Do The Job Cheap?
Consider an LED desk lamp to get all of the benefits of a traditional desk lamp with a low power bulb that will take many years to burn out. LED lamps are a great value.
