Does a light fixture spark if you don't have a light bulb in it and turn the power on?

There is no spark between the terminals inside the socket. For a spark to occur, it would have to meet or exceed the "sparkover voltage", however the gap is too large and the voltage is too low (see: Paschen's Law, and breakdown voltage).

Is a light bulb considered a fixture?
A fixture is what the light bulb goes into.
What is a key less light fixture?
It just holds the bulb, does not have a switch in the fixture.
Why does the light fixture crackle when you turn off the lights?
the fixture expands from the heat generated by the bulb. so it contracts as it cools
Can you put 75 watts when 60 watts is recommended for fixture?
The fixture manufacturer goes on the side of safety. A 75 watt bulb puts out both more light and heat than a 60 watt bulb. It can make the fixture burn out sooner. For even more light, why don't you go with a florescent and get a 27 watt bulb that gives off the same amount of light as a 100 watt bulb? That will give off far less heat and be far better for your fixture?
Can you use a 150 watt bulb in a 250 watt bulb fixture?
Yes, the rating of the fixture is the maximum size bulb that the fixture should take. The fixture is rated to dissipate a certain amount of heat that is generated by a bulb. By putting in a bigger bulb and thereby generating more heat than the fixture was designed for, could destroy the fixture. Some fires have been known to start this way.

How much power does it take to light a lamp post?
Find out what the wattage of the bulb in the fixture is and you will have your answer.
How do you loosen a light bulb that is stuck in the fixture?
One way to loosen a light bulb that is stuck in the fixture is to break the bulb. You can then use half of a potato to unscrew the bulb from the fixture. You can also make a loop with duct tape, adhere the middle of the loop to the light bulb. Use the two ends to twist the bulb out of the fixture.
Does a down light consume less electricity?
The fixture construction has nothing to do with the amount of energy that the fixture uses. It is the lamp in the fixture that draws the amperage. This amperage times the fixtures voltage is what gives you the fixtures wattage. W = A x V. Watts = Amps x Volts.
What is a key less light fixture?
It just holds the bulb, does not have a switch in the fixture.
What is a batten holder?
To my knowledge is a light bulb fixture
How do you make a light bulb light up if the power comes from a generator?
You put the light bulb into a light fixture or lamp and plug the lamp into the running generator's electrical outlet. Make sure the generator's circuitbreaker is reset.
What will happen if you put an Improper bulb in a light fixture?

How do you change the tag light on a 1998 Crown Victoria?
Very easy to do. Remove the two cap screws from the lens fixture (uses a 6mm socket, I believe). Very carefully use a flat tip screwdriver to gently pry the fixture from the underneath side of the trunk lid, and it should hang down with the light fixture attached to it. The fixture is made of a rubber-like plastic, so gently working it side to side will free it from the lens fixture. Remove the bulb from the light fixture by pulling it straight out (looks like an ancient camera bulb). You could use a 161 or 168 light bulb, but I used a 194 bulb (costs a little over $2.00 at O'Reillys) to reinstall into the light fixture. Going in reverse method, place the light fixture into lens fixture, and reassemble the lens fixture back to the trunk lid. Piece of cake!
How do you change the high mount brake light bulb on 2004 Honda Pilot?
Hi, I just changed the whole fixture for the third light. There are two caps on each side of the fixture. With flat screw driver, take off the caps and take out the screws. The light fixture will come out and twist the socket of the light bulb. Now you can able to change the light bulb. I hope this will help you all.
Can a 220V light fixture be used in the US?

Why does the light fixture crackle when you turn off the lights?
