How do you know whether to get 120 volt or 130 volt light bulb?
If you want your bulbs to last longer then use 130 volt bulb on a 120 volt system. The light emitted by a 130 volt bulb, when comparing it to a 120 volt bulb, will be a bit dimmer.
Here is the situation your kid hit the ceiling fan light with a ball the bulb broke away from the metal threads that hold it in place it is dangling from the things inside how do you get the bulb out?
This situation happens quite often. Shut the breaker off that feeds the fixture. Then shut the switch off that feeds the light fixture. Break the dangling bit off with your glove covered hand. If you have needle nose pliers grasp one edge of the shell of the broken bulb and turn it out. Another successful way to do it is with a small piece of stick. Shove it into the broken socket and twist it out just like you were turning out the light bulb. Install a new bulb, turn the breaker back on. turn the switch on and you should have light.
What is easier to install an incandescent light bulb or a fluorescent light bulb?
It depends. If you have a compact fluorescent bulb, it is about the same difficulty level as installing an incandescent bulb. If however you are installing a 4 foot long fluorescent tube, it may be considered a bit more difficult because there are 2 pins on each end of the tube that have to line up on each end of the light fixture, thus it would require a bit more effort and coordination. Once you line the end pins up, you push the tube into the slot until it is fully seated, then you give it a quarter turn to lock it in place.
What kind of wire do you need to make a light bulb work a metal wire or a steel wire?
Steel wire is a metal wire. Copper wire is a metal wire. Aluminum wire is a metal wire.Most electrical wiring is done using insulated Copper wire these days.The question does not say what type and size of light bulb is to be hooked-up.If it is a light bulb designed to run on mains voltages, such as 120 volts or higher, then, for safety reasons, good quality insulated copper wire intended for that purpose should be used, and nothing else.If it is a low voltage bulb, such as 1.5 volt bulb for a flashlight, or a 12 volt bulb of the kind used in a car, then any type of insulated metal wire should be fine. Note: Plain uninsulated metal wire would never be a good choice even for low voltages because the bare wires could easily short-out the circuit!IF YOU ARE NOT ALREADY SURE YOU CAN DO THIS JOBSAFELY AND COMPETENTLYREFER THIS WORK TO QUALIFIED PROFESSIONALS.If you do this work yourself,always turn off the power at the breaker box/fuse panelBEFOREyou attempt to do any work ANDalways use a meter or voltage indicatorto ensure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized.
What is the difference in 130v and 120 volt light bulb?
Not a lot. The rating is to denote the voltage the bulb is designed for. The higher rating just says it will handle voltage that high so you have a bit more flexibility if your voltage fluctuates.
How does a battery make a light bulb work?
If you place an end of a wire on the negative or positive side, put the outer metal part of the light bulb's cap on the other, and place the other end of the wire on the light bulb's cap's inner metal part, it will turn on.TipBefore you try to do this, always check that the voltage of the battery is equal to, or a bit less than, the voltage of the light bulb!Otherwise the light bulb may only give out a very bright flash and could easily be destroyed.
What change of energy occurs when a light bulb is lit?
When a light bulb is activated, electrical energy is converted into a lot of light and quite a bit of heat.
If amplitude of the waves coming from a light bulb decreased?
The brightness decreases and light intensity gets reduced. So dim. Also, it takes a bit less air conditioning to keep the room cool. Also, it costs a bit less to operate that light bulb. Also, the bulb may last longer before it fails.
How do you put a hole in a light bulb?
It would be difficult even with a micro bit they are fragile
Why was the light bulb called the light bulb?
1) because the unit has a bulbous shape (the outer glass bit) 2) because the unit produces/emits light. The name is an exact description of that it does and its shape.
What is a horses bit?
A bit is metal bar that is on the bottom of the bridle. This fits inside the horses mouth, behind the teeth, where there is a gap.

Why would the driver brake light go out on a 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee when you hit the brakes?
The light-bulb actually heats the base of the plastic lens assembly where the bulb plugs into. This allows the metal contacts for the bulb to sink into the plastic a little bit, causing the metal to loose contact with the bulb.The simple fix is to pry the metal contacts up a little so they will make contact with the bulb again. It doesn't take much, so be careful.
What kind of energy does a toaster converts electrical energy?
Mostly heat, and a little bit of light. A lot like an incandescent light bulb.

What happens when you place a light bulb in a little water and put it in a microwave?
the light bulb will light up because of the different heat waves in the microwave. If you want to try thisfirst you take a small cup and fill it with a little bit of water take a light bulb and place it in water then put it a microwave for ten seconds.note don't put in microwave for more than twenty seconds the light bulb will explode
How do you change the rear turn signal light on a 91 Cadillac Coupe DeVille?
You need a T-15 star bit driver that is referred to as TORX. On the top and bottom of tail light are the screws. Carefully remove the chrome trim then the light pulls out after applying slight upward pressure. Once you twist out the socket the bulb simply unplugs. It should be either a 3057 or 3157 bulb. (i cant remember for sure)
