I'm guessing you are referring to the screw-in base size. If you have an adapter and the wattage does not exceed manufacturer's recommendations there should be no problem.

The label 60 watts bulb max is referring to each individual bulb, not the total in the light fixture.


What is the direncence between a light bulb and a tungsten light bulb?

Common old-fashioned light bulbs are of the incandescent type (including halogen) with a tungsten filament glowing at about 3000 degrees C emitting black-body radiation (light and heat). Tungsten is used because it has the highest melting-point of all metals. The other type of bulb is fluorescent, of various types like tubes and CFLs


How hot does a 50 watt light bulb get?

This depends on the bulb design. A simple tungsten filament bulb might have a surface temperature of the bulb well above 100 C. A fluorescent lamp will be much cooler for the same light output.


Would you expect to find direct or alternating current in the filament of a light bulb in your home the filament of a light bulb in a car the output of a battery charger?

Light bulb in the home - alternating current (A/C) Light bulb in a car - direct current (D/C) Output of a battery charger - direct current Input of a battery charger - usually alternating current


Can you use a regular bulb in a freezer?

A light bulb is already mostly frozen. The glass parts are in a state called a "glassy solid". The metal filament, filament supports and base are in a state we call a "solid". The only part of a light bulb which is not already frozen is the dilute gas inside it, which is normally a mixture of nitrogen and argon. Argon freezes at -200 C and nitrogen freezes at -210 C. So if you cool a light bulb down to -210 C (-346 F) then it will become completely frozen. Of course, it will still work.

How do you replace the brake light bulb on a 1995 Saab 9000?

Depending on the model, B C or D there are some differences. The C model has lights on the rear pillars - access is by removing the two screws - see weblink for details. If it is a model with conventional lights ie below the window, access is via a panel inside the boot area. Remove the panel, remove the connector and replace bulb with the correct type. The bulb has small lugs like an household bulb, it will remove and replace with a twist action. Some bulbs are combined stop tail lights, so check at the accessory shop.

What do filaments do inside a light bulb?

It passes an electric current and its temperature rises to about 3000 degrees C so that it is white-hot and gives off light. Unfortunately this type of bulb also produces a lot of heat, which is just wasted power.

How does electricity changes into light?

Electricity and light are both forms of energy so to convert one to the other needs a device which for producing light is called a light bulb. In one type of bulb electric current flows through a thin metal filament, heating it to 2000 degrees C so that it becomes white hot and emits light. It also emits a lot of wasteful heat, so there are better forms of bulb.
