The answer is NO. A lighting circuit may not be able to supply the current draw of appliances which need to be plugged into a power socket.

By asking this question you are probably not quite ready to take on this particular task.
You may or may not get lucky and receive some information in an answer here!
If you hope to get enough information on this site to be able to do this job properly and safely, please do not rely on getting accurate information about such a potentially dangerous subject.
Really, don't do this one yourself. Electricity is far too dangerous to handle if you have not been trained how to do this work. If you put just one wire in the wrong place you risk being killed by electrocution or you could even start a house fire.
How to do this job depends entirely on the Wiring Codes or Regulations for the locality (Town/State) and on the exact location of the outlets you wish to install. If it is anywhere that is subject to water splashes or spray - such as in any room supplied with running water pipes, like a kitchen, bathroom, shower room, etc., or in a pool-side area - in many places nowadays it is actually illegal to attempt to do this kind of work unless you are already a licensed electrician.
If you don't want to go to your local library or bookstore - to find and read some books about electrical wiring and appliances and how to install them safely, and to find out about your local Wiring Codes and Regulations - then the best advice anyone should give to you is to call a licensed electrician either to do the job for you or to advise you what you may be allowed to do yourself.
IF YOU ARE NOT ALREADY SURE YOU CAN DO THIS JOB
SAFELY AND COMPETENTLY
REFER THIS WORK TO QUALIFIED PROFESSIONALS.
If you do this work yourself, always turn off the power
at the breaker box/fuse panel BEFORE you attempt to do any work AND
always use an electrician's test meter having metal-tipped probes
(not a simple proximity voltage indicator)
to insure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized.

∙ 13y agoYes, a light bulb does precisely this.
Also, at one time you could purchase a little device that looked like the bottom part of a light bulb with an electrical socket in the other end so you could screw it into a light socket and then plug some other kind of device into it. I don't know if these are still made or not.

You should connect the power cord from the power supply to the PS2 power connection on the motherboard?
no you should not. You connect it to the PS1 power connection
How do you rewire a wall switch to control both ceiling fan and light. The switch currently furns the fan on and off but the light has to be controlled with a pull chain?
Open up the ceiling box and disconnect the blue wire coming from the light and connect it to the black wire coming from the fan. Be sure and put a wire nut on the wire where the light was connected before you removed it. The wall switch is controlling power to the wire where the fan is connected so when you connect the blue fan wire to that connection you will be sending power to both the fan and light from the wall switch.
How do you wire one light and one GFCI and another light light and fan with two switches and one power line?
Connect the incoming power to the line side of the GFCi outlet. Now run another wire connected to the line side of the GFCI outlet from the GFCI outlet to the switches. Power one of the switches and use that switch to turn on the 2 lights. Run power from that switch to another switch and use that switch to send power to the fan. Mount both switches in a double pole switch box. If the light above the sink has an outlet on it then you will have to connect power going to that light on the load side of the GFCI outlet. If not then just connect it to the line side.
How do you wire a basic off switch to a light?
Light switch connection is usually straight forward. Find your incoming hot wires, black and white. With the switch in the off (down) position and the power disconnected , connect the black wire to the top screw of the switch. Find the load wires and connect the black to the bottom screw of the switch. Connect the two remaining white wires together with a wire nut and push them to the back of the switch box. Install the switch into the wall box, replace switch plate cover. Turn the breaker (power) back on. Flip the switch to the up position and the light should come on.
What does volts mean on a light bulb?
Electricity in your house or anywhere else comes in volts. When you screw in a light bulb, you screw it in to an electrical socket that has a certain number of volts. The socket can have 3 volts like a flash light, 12 volts like a car, 120 volts like American houses, or 240 volts like some Latin American houses. The light bulb is designed to work with one of those voltages. If you put a 240 volt bulb in a 120 volt socket, it will glow extremely dim. If you put a 120 volt light bulb in a 240 volt socket, it will glow extremely bright, but it will burn out in a short period of time. So you should put a 120 volt bulb in a 120 volt socket. In the United States, you will not have that trouble. However, if you take your yacht to a foreign country, you might put your light bulb in the wrong socket.Another AnswerA lamp will only operate at its rated power when subject to its rated voltage. So, if you want your lamp to operate at its rated power, you must connect it to a supply which provides its rated voltage
You should connect the power cord from the power supply to the PS2 power connection on the motherboard?
no you should not. You connect it to the PS1 power connection
why doesn't microwave come on when start is pushed?
Connect the power lead to the wall socket
What type of cord is used in a lamp?
Lamps use what is called a power cord. Power cords connect the appliance (in this case, a lamp) to a wall socket and the electrical field causes the filiment in the light bulb to beam.
Why would all your turn signals work except the right rear one even if it now has a new bulb and new fuses?
hi my name is josh i had the same problem check the terminals in the light socket they could be corroded that was my problem.... With a volt meter check to see if you have power to that socket. Check at the wire not the socket. If you find you have power, either the socket is corroded or broken. Also check the ground connection at that socket.
If a plug socket is left on with nothing pluged in will it still consume power?
No, unless there is an indicator light in the socket.
Why does it not effect any of the light bulbs when you take one light bulb out from the parallel circuit?
EASY.The removed light bulb does not have any connection to the other light bulbs. While it's socket that was holding the lght bulb has power running through it to the other bulbs also.
If all your turn signals work except one and you replaced the bulb and all fuses what do you do next?
With a volt meter check to see if you have power to that socket. Check at the wire not the socket. If you find you have power, either the socket is corroded or broken. Also check the ground connection at that socket.
How do you install an ac power source into a digital camcorder?
Digital camcorders either work on battery or on AC power adaptor supplied with the camcorder. The DC output connector of the AC adaptor will connect to DC power input socket on the camcorder body. The location of this socket will depend on the make and model of the camcorder. Some times this socket is covered by a rubber cap which needs to be pulled out before you connect the power. - Neeraj Sharma
How is electrical energy to power a cell phone produce?
almost any cell phone has a rechargeable battery in it. once you plug it into your wall socket the power from your wall socket (generated by your power company through power lines) connect to the phone battery and charges it.
Are you supposed to wrap the copper wire around the light bulb when making a potato powered light bulb?
You have to connect one conductor from potato to one terminal on light bulb and the other to the second conductor. Your light bulb must be a low voltage and low current bulb because a potato delivers very little power. Light bulbs that screw in would have one connection point on the screw in part and one at the bottom of the base of the bulb. It would be best to put the bulb in a socket that would allow easier connection of wires instead of trying to wrap the wire around the bulb.
What do you do if you break a light bulb?
If you break a light bulb in its socket, isolate the power (turn off the electric to that socket). Then use a needle nose pliers to get out rest of it with lamp off
what is a light?
A fixture or device that holds a light in place by means of some sort of socket, that is connected to a power source.
