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.

Any wattage up to 220w maximum. You can put a 200w, 175w, 150w,100w, etc. it just wont be as bright as a 220w bulb.

The bulb is designed to run on a circuit providing 230 volts and it will draw approximately 6.5 amps of current. It's not something you would plug into a "normal" outlet in the U.S.

Can you use 110v chandler in 220v country by changing a 220v light bulb The chandler said max 100w light bulb so do you need to use a smaller watts of a 220v light bulb?

The light bulb should still have the same limit - 100 watts, because the limit is set practically by how much heat they produce. You need to make sure the wiring in the chandelier is correctly insulated for the higher voltage.


What s the correct calulation for the bulb power on watts which has has a current of 0.5 and the voltage is 220v?

Power is current times voltage, so a current of 0.5 amperes and a voltage of 220v across a bulb will yield a power of 110 watts.


An electric bulb is rated 220v and 100wWhen it is operated on 110v the power consumed will be what?

25w


Can you use 120V lamps in Europe by just putting in a 240V bulb and a European adapter on the plug?

If all the components are rated to 220V, yes. Keep in mind that if the appliance was designed for 110V it may arc if 220 is run through it. If you don't know the device can handle 220V, don't run it at 220V. Chances are it was manufactured cleaply and cannot handle the extra voltage.


An electric bulb reads 220V-100W if it is connected across a 200V line what will be the power consumed?

80


How much current will an electric bulb draw a 220v source if the bulb filament is 1200ohm?

The equation that you are looking for is I = E/R. Amps = Voltage/Resistance in ohms.


What will happen to the circuit if the bulb if removed from its holder?

Nothing will happen to circuit..... as usual the circuit would be supplying 220v(if india) and certain current...but there is no bulb to consume power...


Can you plug a ballast into a 120V outlet that is normally meant for 240V outlets if it's a 400W metal halide light bought in Korea and will it run in the US?

No, but it's usually quite easy to run a 220V line to wherever you want to put the bulb.


Can a 220V x 40W bulb bought in India used in America where supply standard is 110V x 60Hz and does the power consumed varies?

If you can use it in your lamp it will be a 20 watt bulb


Can you use a 220v led light bulb in 110v service?

It may work if the base is the same but it would only be half as bright.


Can a 220V light fixture be used in the US?

Yes, you can easily use it. Just install it as you would any other 120 volt light fixture and change the bulb from a 240 volt bulb to a 120 volt bulb. It will work just fine.


Two lamps A and B are rated 60W 220V and 100W 220V respectively so why does the answer say that when connected in parallal bulb A is brighter?

In parallel, they both obviously have 220 v across them, so the 100 W bulb is obviously brighter than the 60 W one. The 60 W bulb has more resistance, and in series they both have to pass the same current, so the 60 W has more voltage across it and might be brighter.
