Lamps use whatever voltage they are designed to run on.
If the question as asking about the energy used, this is measured in watts.
Watts are calculated as:
W (watts) = V (volts) x I (amps)
which is the product of the voltage and the current drawn.

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.
How many leds and watts to replace a 250 watt metal halide?
It depends. The Wattage ratings do not indicate how bright any type of bulb is, just what its power consumption is. In general LED lamps put out more light for the power used than metal halide bulbs, but there is no standard as to how much more. Most lamps indicate their candlepower or 'candela' ratings on the package, and the vary by type of bulb and manufacturer. The 'candela' is the SI base unit of luminous intensity.

Are LED maglite brighter than maglite?
Well they are suppose to give off the same light, say in wattage, but they use less power, and generally cost more. Most LED's, have a rating to match a regular bulb. Say, a led flashlight, is marked as equal to a 50w bulb. On the maglight website, they do not list wattage or lumens , so you have to assume that both mini mags are equal in light produced.
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.

Where can I find replacement light bulbs for my tiffany style lamps?
Since you say "Tiffany Style" as opposed to "Tiffany Antique", I assume that you're talking about lamps with modern wiring and standard sockets. If I'm incorrect and you have a genuine Tiffany lamp, you'll want to take the lamp to a specialist in Tiffany restoration. However, for most modern Tiffany style lamps, the process is quite simple. Take a burnt out bulb, and check the wattage against the recommended wattage on the socket. If the number on the bulb bulb is equal to or lower than that number, you can take the bulb to any hardware store and ask for another just like it, or even an energy efficient florescent! Not only good for the planet, these bulbs are good for your lamps as well, since they burn at a much cooler temperature.

What is the legal bulb wattage for a car in Ireland?
There is no legal requirement for the wattage for most bulbs, only that they are sufficiently visible and do not blind other users. Most headlights are 35W-55w for road use, with most other external bulbs for indicators, brakes and tail being around 5 watts. Fog lights can be a higher power output. The actual light produced by a car bulb of a given wattage varies depending on the technology (traditional filament, LED or HID), the reflector and the lens colour.
