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.


Can you mix incandescent bulb with halogen bulb in same light fitting?

Yes, the halogen bulb would provide about 30% more brightness (lumens) for the same electric power rating. So 70 watt halogen is about equal to 90-100 watt incandescent.


Is it safe to substitute a 45 watt halogen bulb for a use 40 watt or less type G bulb?

The base of the bulb obviously determines where it can fit and for most home fixture cases determines the voltage (Unfortunately there are many speciality bulbs where the base can fit different voltage situations and you have to be more careful). Light fixtures are rated for a maximum wattage. Bulbs have both a wattage and voltage rating. So if the halogen fits the base, is the same voltage and the fixture is rated for 45 watts or better, then you are good to go.


Will 60 watt bulb put out same wattage at 50 and 60 hz?

Most equate wattage with the amount of light a bulb will put out. But, the wattage is the result of the resistance of the element and the voltage and is the amount of heat. the frequency is unrelated.


Do the same wattage light bulb have different resistance?

Yes. The resistance of a globe depends not only on the wattage of it but also on the voltage. A 12 V Globe would has a quarter the resistance of a 24 volt globe for the same wattage. (when alight)

Do the same wattage candelabra and incandescent bulbs draw the same power?

Yes, wattage is wattage, is wattage, is wattage. "Power" is calculated in wattage. It equals the voltage times the current in amps. In a light bulb, the resistive filament will cause a certain amount if current to flow making the filament hot and producing light.

How do you prove that it is the wattage and not the physical size of a light bulb that matters for energy use?

Energy use is measured in watts. The watts used by a light bulb is on the package or the bulb. Find bulbs with the same wattage but different physical sizes if you want to prove this.


Will a higher wattage hps bulb work in a ballast that came with a lower wattage bulb?

A higher wattage HPS bulb may work with a ballast that is rated for a lower wattage bulb , but may appear to be dim and will not produce the rated light output. It is best to match ballast and bulb accordingly.
