-- Without changing the bulbs, increase the voltage of the battery or power supply.
-- If the bulbs are in series, take one out of the circuit, and replace it with a piece of wire.
-- Replace incandescent bulbs with others whose filaments have lower resistance.
-- Replace incandescent bulbs with fluorescent tubes.
-- Replace incandescent bulbs with LEDs.

∙ 13y agoThere is no real way that i know of to make the actual bulb brighter apart from certain ballasts for hps (high pressure sodium lights) have a booster button that can increase the light by about 10%. Your surest bet to get more light is to use a reflector, problem is it doesn't make the bulb brighter, it just targets the light where you want it so you don't lose light by it going where you don't want it.
Using an incandescent lamp, by increasing the voltage will increase the light output.

∙ 13y agoYou can increase the voltage sent to the bulb (up to the limit of the design of the bulb before it breaks).
The light output is a factor of:
1) the voltage across the filiment
2) the resistance of the filament
3) the composition and design of the filament
4) the type of gases inside the envelope.

∙ 9y agoAs we connect cells in series the voltage of each cell got added and as a result the current through the coil of the bulb increases resulting increased brightness.
for series circuit,
V=V1+V2+V3+...
I=V/R
So as v increases, I increases. As a result brightness increases.

Is circuit part of a light bulb?
A light bulb can be part of a circuit.
What will happen to a bulb if you add more batteries to a simple circuit?
It gets brighter and brighter - until it burns out.
Light bulb in parallel circuit brightness?
Two bulbs connected in parallel are brighter than two connected in series. The resistance of the circuit is lower, electrons can flow more easily.
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.
What happens if you unscrew a light bulb in a series circuit?
The circuit will have the flow of electricity interrupted.
If you add an extra battery to a circuit containing a bulb how will this affect the bulb?
The bulb becomes brighter unless it is too much till it shot-circuits.
What would be different if only one light bulb were wired in this circuit instead of two?
I you wired a light bulb in to the same circuit you have the possibility of over loading the circuit but other than that it would just be brighter.
What happens to a bulb when you move it closer to a battery on a circuit?
The bulb will get brighter
If Greater resistance is put into a circuit the brighter the bulb?
no
What happens if one bulb burns out on a parallel circuit?
The remaining bulb will be brighter than it was when both bulbs were working - due to the increased voltage.
Is circuit part of a light bulb?
A light bulb can be part of a circuit.
What could it be if a bulb does not light up in a complete circuit?
it will not shine
What will happen to a bulb if you add more batteries to a simple circuit?
It gets brighter and brighter - until it burns out.
How can you make a bulb in a circuit brighter?
you can make it brighter by adding another battery/cell
What happens to a light bulb when extra dry cells are added on a series circuit?
i think that the light bulb glows brighter
What effect did the light bulb have?
A brighter future!
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.
