Can i use 240 volt 50 watt instead of 240volt 35 watt bulbs?
That depends on the wiring, the light socket, switch(es) and any other equipment in the circuit. You should never use a bulb that is larger than the original circuit was designed for.
How many watts does a 12 volt transformer consume to power a 50 watt down light?
If by "consume" you mean "waste as heat", that would depend upon the design of the transformer, but would typically be a few watts of heat loss.
Do you have to use a transformer if your device have 900 Watts 220 V and 60 Hz with 7.5 amps?
If your device uses 900 Watts at 7.5 Amps, then it requires 120 volts. If you want to use it where the supplied current is 220 volts, then you'll need a transformer - but only if the device can operate on 50 Hz. Most places that use 220 Volts supply it at 50 Hz. If your device says it can operate on 50 Hz you can use a transformer.
How many kilowatt-hours do 50 w used for 12h equal?
A Kilowatt hour is 1000 watts per hour. A 50 watt bulb will use just 50 watts per hour. Therefore over 12 hours the 50 watt bulb will use 50*12 watts = 600 watts or 0.6 of a kilowatt hour.
Can you run a 50 watt halide bulb on a 100 watt halide ballast?
Yes.
Low voltage 50 watt bulb use same electricity as 50 watt incandescent?
Yes
Does a 600 watt garden lights transformer pull 600 watts all the time or just the load from the lights you have on it?
Watts are power. If the lights were mostly or totally switched off, you'd have a circuit generating 600W of heat somewhere if the transformer still took 600W, not only that, but when you switched on, the 600W that the transformer was consuming, would not disappear, so the total drain would be 1.2kW. ---- Don't understand the above answer. The 600 watts on the transformer nameplate is the maximum amount of wattage that the transformer can produce and still be within its safety limits. It doesn't draw that wattage all the time. If you had two 50 watt lamps connected to the transformer then the transformer has the capacity of 500 watts left. The transformer will only produce the wattage that the load requests. The transformer has the ability to supply twelve 50 watt bulbs. 12 x 50 = 600. Any more bulbs than 12 and the transformer is in an overload condition.

What size cable to use on a 50 watt lamp?
16 AWG is plenty large enough for a 50 or 100 watt lamp.
Which would use more energy a 50 watt bulb or a 75 watt bulb?
A 75 bulb will use more electricity.

Can you use a 50 watt halogen bulb for a 100 watt halogen bulb?
Yes. It just won't be as bright.
Do you have to use a transformer if your device have 900 Watts 220 V and 60 Hz with 7.5 amps?
If your device uses 900 Watts at 7.5 Amps, then it requires 120 volts. If you want to use it where the supplied current is 220 volts, then you'll need a transformer - but only if the device can operate on 50 Hz. Most places that use 220 Volts supply it at 50 Hz.

Do a 12 volt 50 watt bulb and a 230 volt 50 watt bulb draw the same current?
A 50 watt bulb designed to run on 12 volts takes 4.17 amps. A 50 watt bulb designed to run on 230 volts takes 0.217 amps.
Will a 110V 60Hz home theater system bought in the US work in Singapore which uses a 220V 50Hz by just using a voltage transformer?
Your stereo system has an internal transformer in the power supply that is designed to operate at a given frequency. If it is designed to operate at the load your stereo system will use at 50 Hz, then yes. Otherwise this transformer will overheat when connected at the wrong frequency, and will burn out. You might be lucky and the power supply may be labelled to operate at 50 or 60Hz; if not, I recommend contacting the manufacturer. A voltage transformer will convert 50Hz 220 to 50Hz 110. To change frequency, you need special equipment.
Can you run a 50 watt halide bulb on a 100 watt halide ballast?
Yes.
