Yes if the bulb is an incandescent type of bulb.
Further InformationThe voltage printed on a lamp is its nominal, or named, value. For example, the nominal voltage of the UK's supply (since January 1995) is 230 V. But this does not mean that the actual voltage is necessarily 230 V, as it does vary. In fact, it is allowed to vary from -6% to +10% of its nominal value -in other words, from 216.2 - 253.0 V. So, as you can see, it would be considered quite normal for a 240-V lamp to be subjected to 250 V.

Can you plug a 250 volt lamp into US outlet?
Yes. If the plug (cap) end of the 250 volt lamp is compatible to the receptacle the lamp would work. The light output of the lamp would not be very bright. Because the working voltage is halved so would the light output.
Can a 250 volt fuse be used in a 240 volt air conditioner unit and how are they properly installed?
A fuse rated for 250 v is fine for 240 v. The fuse might be a cartridge fuse, so it must fit the available socket, or it might be fuse wire that has to be fitted in the holder correctly.
Can you put a 120 v receptacle on a 240 v circuit breaker?
No, the electrical insulation rating of a 15 amp duplex receptacle is only rated at 130 volts. The 15 amp 240 volt receptacle is rated at 250 volts. The 240 volt receptacle also has a tandem pin configuration instead of the parallel configuration of the 120 volt device. The different pin configuration is so that a 120 volt electrical device can not be plugged into a 240 voltage receptacle.
Why there is different types of voltage range 210 Volt 220 Volt 230 Volt 240 Volt 250 Volt in single phase AC system and what it based?
In the US the voltage is about 220 volts. This voltage is based upon the average voltage of the AC sine wave. It can peak as high as 240 volts or as low as 210 volts. So these different voltages are actually referring to an average 220 volt system.
Can a 250 watt heat bulb go into any lamp?
no the fixture has to be rated for the size and type of the bulb. most fixtures are not rated for 250W

Is there a problem with 250 volts going into a home. What problems could this cause?
Almost every home in north America will have a 240 volt supply (250 volts is the same).
How do you change the middle brake light on a 1997 mercury mountaineer?
If it's the same as mine, it's a led light and you have 2 replace the power converter, there's no bulb. $250. I rigged mine up 2 use a 12 volt lamp.

240 is increased by 10?
It is 240+10 = 250
How many amps does a 3000w inverter 240 v draw from a 12 volt system?
It would be at least 250 amps, maybe 300 amps.
Can you use a 400W high pressure sodium bulb in a metal halide ballast?
No, the ballast has to be matched to the lamp. 250 watt ballast, 250 watt lamp. Also be sure to match the lamp type to the proper ballast even though the wattage is the same. HPS ballast to HPS lamp, Metal halide ballast to metal halide lamp and mercury vapour lamp to mercury vapour ballast.

Can you use 250 volt 1A for 230 volt 800mA?
no
If the cost is 250 and profit 10 what is the selling price?
$240 the cost 250 - the profit of 10 = 240
