It depends in which country you are located. Through out the world that are different electrical voltages. The electrical manufactures knowing this and wanting to sell world wide make bulb to run on that countries electrical system. The two main voltages that bulbs operate on are; in 60 Hertz countries 120 volts and 50 Hertz countries 230 volts.

Watts is a function of voltage and amperage. A 26 watt light bulb can operate under 26 volts at 1 amp or 260 volts at 0.1 amp. So, the question does not have a specific answer in respect to voltage.

What ever the voltage that is stated on the lamp is the voltage that should be applied to it.

WHAT IS THE LOWEST VOLTAGE NEED TO LIGHT A LIGHT BULB?

A light bulb is manufactured to operate on a specific voltage. The voltage can be a low as needed and the manufacturer will compute the size of the filament that is needed for a specific wattage. If you are referring to a threshold voltage then that is another question that needs to be asked.


How does Thomas Alva Edison's light bulb work?

Michael Faraday's made a light bulb with a platinum wire, he put it in a small glass globe, and attached it to a low voltage source. it glowed and produced light. Platinum is expensive. It only worked at low voltage. Others made lightbulbs. Edison decided a light bulb was a good idea but it needed to be made inexpensively. It needed to work at a higher voltage. The source of the electricity needed to be different from the place where the light bulb would be used. He looked for a material that could be made inexpensively and could last. It needed to be able to take higher voltage. He heated some thread until it turned to carbon. Then he made a vacuum inside a light bulb. He put the thread inside the bulb. It worked. He created a light bulb. It could be made inexpensively. It could work at a fairly high voltage.


A 500 watt pool light pulls how many amps?

To answer this question the voltage of the bulb is needed.


Why does a light bulb light in a closed circuit?

A bulb does not light up if there is no voltage available across the bulb, or if the bulb is burned out.


Can a HID bulb work in a standard light socket?

No. An hid bulb has a transformer (ballast) that produces a certain voltage needed to fire the gas in that lamp.


How long can a battery power a 44 watt light bulb?

To answer this question the amp hour rating of the battery is needed along with the voltage of the battery or bulb.


When a light bulb is rated for 3.2 V does that mean that is the maximum operating voltage OR the minimum operating voltage OR or the optimum operating voltage?

When a light bulb is rated for 3.2 V it means that it is the maximum operating voltage to be applied to the bulb.


WILL 103 VOLTS LIGHT A 60 WATT LIGHT BULB?

Yes, a 103 volt source will light a 60 watt light bulb. The relationship of the bulb's wattage output at a lower voltage, as to the normal voltage that the bulb is rated to operate on, the light output will be lower.


What kind of battery makes a bulb shine brighter?

Usually a higher voltage will make a light bulb shine brighter; but if the voltage is too high, this can also destroy the light bulb.
