No. The heat from the larger bulb will damage the socket, and is a fire hazard.

What is meant by this is a 220v bulb?

Every electrical device has its operating range of voltage and current for which it is designed for. If it exceed the operating range of voltage, its insulation will damage and device will not work. 220V bulb means the normal working voltage for this bulb is 220V. It can operate on the voltages with a deviation of 5% voltage variation also. this variation depends on the devices and will vary with the manufacturer.

Can you put a 100w bulb in a 75w lamp?

from a WATTAGE point of view, yes; it is always electrically safe to switch to a smaller wattage if the larger wattage was setup in an approved manner. from a HEAT point of view, don't change a lamp until it cools off unless you have proper gloves yes, but not the other way 'round


Can you use a light bulb for a fish tank light?

Put it this way, a friend of mine uses her daylight bulb with her lamp, and puts it over the fish tank. I wouldn't use a 100w or 60w really, but all fish are different with their habitats. So i recommend seeking advice from a fish shop near you.

How do you change the headlight bulb on a 2001 Honda CR-V?

The process is in the owner's manual, but here's the quick version: Under the hood there is a power cord going into the back of the headlight, wiggle that out. Then the rubber ring around the outlet comes off, pull the tabs at the top and bottom till it comes off. Inside there is a little wire rod that holds the bulb in place, press on it and then press up and it will swing open. The bulb can be removed then. DO NOT TOUCH THE NEW BULB WITH BARE SKIN AS IT CAN SHORT IT OUT. Put bulb grease on the prongs of the new headlight bulb and put it back in, put the wire in place, replace the rubber ring, and plug it back in!


Could 110 volts be used on 240 volt equipment?

Answer for USA, Canada and countries running a 60 Hertz supply service.No, the voltage that is on the nameplate of the equipment is the voltage that must be used. The equipment will not work and to do otherwise will void the warranty.I believe so. if you had a 100w light bulb, and you put 50w through it, then it would be dim; however, if you did the reverse (50w bulb with 100w of power), then I believe your bulb would blow out.Now, if equipment is more sophisticated, then actually, the chances are it would fail to work all together I believe. It would be specifically designed for 240v, and also, chances are if its AC, that it will have a different frequency of voltage requirement, and that might also prevent the unit working.
