In order to 'power' a lamp, you need to connect that lamp to a voltage supply. But why would you use gold wire when copper is a better conductor?
a bulb is light bulb
water, power outage, or maybe the light bulb is broken
The cause of the tail light burning dim when the light switch is on could be a short in the wire or an exposed portion of wire. This can sometimes cause the bulb to lack power because the power is drawn to another area.
Either you have a short (in the wiring or socket), or you burned out the filament of your light bulb.
If there is power but it does not light it is a ground problem. Some circuits such as gm interior lights the power is always on, and the ground is switched.
a light bulb is measured in watts
Yes, even a potato can light a light bulb. Yes. If the batteries match the voltage of the bulb, they can light it. Flashlights have bulbs and batteries that power them. If you mean a household light bulb, then you'd need many batteries in series (80 of the 1.5 volt batteries).
light r bulb same power taken
could be a bad ground or a short to ground possibly bad switch or the light bulb
Only when it has power.
get a test light and see if the switch is getting power. if it is, see if its sending power. if it is, see if its sending the power to the light bulb (unplug bulb and see if bulb has power and ground) if all are good but at the bulb, then its the wireing somewhere.
The first electric light bulb was made in 1880
