By exceeding the designed wattage by that much, you risk burning a fuse, burning the wiring harness, or in some cases melting the headlamp assembly and socket (this last one happened to my wife's car).

What wattage of bulb do most desk lamps use?

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.


How many joules of light energy are in 1440 watts of electrical energy?

A joule is a joule, whether it be electrical energy or light energy - although commonly, lamps are not 100% efficient.On the other hand, you can't convert joules directly to watts. Watts means joules per second (joules / second), or equivalently, joules is watts times seconds.A joule is a joule, whether it be electrical energy or light energy - although commonly, lamps are not 100% efficient.On the other hand, you can't convert joules directly to watts.

How many amps do 8 40 watt fluorescent lights take?

It depends on the voltage and whether the lamps are actually 40 watts or 40 watt equivalent. Watts / volts = amps


How many bulbs can a dimmer switch?

the dimmer should have a rating on it in Watts. dimmers are not suitable for low energy lamps though

How many lights can be used for 1kW?

It depends on what wattage light you want to use. Any combination of lamps that add up to a total of 1000 watts. These lamps will all be connected in parallel to operate. examples, 2 - 500 watt lamps, 5 - 200 watt lamps, 10 - 100 watt lamps, just to mention a few combinations. Any of these combinations will load the circuit up to 1000 watts or 1 kW.

Last week I attended a stage show in my city I noticed that whole stage was decorated with compact fluorescent lights lightning. What I want to know is the number of watts that CFL lamps use?

In a stage show it needs various types of CFL and Sylvania offers comprehensive range of high-efficiency fluorescent lamps in various lengths, diameters, wattages, colours as well as lamps for a wide range of specialist applications. Only watts doesn't matter in stage show.


How many amps are in a ceiling fan?

The fan itself might use 40 Watts, add to that the power used by the lamps (maybe 3*50 Watts) and the sum is just under 200 W when all the lamps are lit. So under one Ampere in the example given.
