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.
Is there a recessed lighting fixture you can put a heat light bulb in?
Yes. They are well insulated and have thermal cutoff switches.
Why is light fixture hot?
When electricity runs through the fillament in a light bulb, the electrons move so fast that they generate heat, which also creates light. Light bulbs actually create more heat than light.
Is there a code for fluorescent light fixture covers?
I do not know of a specific code in the United States. However, a flourescent fixture should be covered if breaking a bulb would create serious problems, such as in a kitchen, a place where children play, etc. In lieu of covering the whole fixture they manufacture tubes that cover the bulbs themselves for the same purpose.
You have an outside light that won't work but switch has power?
First and foremost make sure the light bulb is a good one. Try it in another fixture to make sure, even if it just came out of the box it was packed in. If you have checked the switch for power then you must have a tester. The power coming to the switch will most likely be on the top screw. Turn the switch on and see if you have voltage on the bottom screw. Check this voltage from the screws to the ground wire as the neutral will not be accessible in the back of the switch box. If there is voltage to the bottom screw then move on to the light fixture. Remove the outside light fixture and see if you get a voltage reading on the incoming hot (black ) wire. If there is voltage there then you have to see if the lamp holder is making continuity. If you have an ohm meter or a continuity meter remove the lamp fixture from the "hot" wire and the neutral connection and see if you get a reading across the fixtures black and white wire. This has to be tested with the bulb in the fixture. No continuity reading then there is trouble with the socket. Might be time to think about a new fixture.
Is a light bulb considered a fixture?
A fixture is what the light bulb goes into.
How do you loosen a light bulb that is stuck in the fixture?
One way to loosen a light bulb that is stuck in the fixture is to break the bulb. You can then use half of a potato to unscrew the bulb from the fixture. You can also make a loop with duct tape, adhere the middle of the loop to the light bulb. Use the two ends to twist the bulb out of the fixture.
What is a key less light fixture?

How does one change the bulb in a pot light lighting fixture?
Changing the bulb in a pot light lighting fixture can be very easy. First you need to take off the whole "can" or cylinder that surrounds the light by pulling downwards gently. Next you should find the cord that attaches to the light and detach it. Then you attach the new bulb and put the can and cylinder back on. Turn the switch back on and you're done.
What will happen if you put an Improper bulb in a light fixture?
it will burn
How do you change the tag light on a 1998 Crown Victoria?
Very easy to do. Remove the two cap screws from the lens fixture (uses a 6mm socket, I believe). Very carefully use a flat tip screwdriver to gently pry the fixture from the underneath side of the trunk lid, and it should hang down with the light fixture attached to it. The fixture is made of a rubber-like plastic, so gently working it side to side will free it from the lens fixture. Remove the bulb from the light fixture by pulling it straight out (looks like an ancient camera bulb). You could use a 161 or 168 light bulb, but I used a 194 bulb (costs a little over $2.00 at O'Reillys) to reinstall into the light fixture. Going in reverse method, place the light fixture into lens fixture, and reassemble the lens fixture back to the trunk lid. Piece of cake!
How do you change the high mount brake light bulb on 2004 Honda Pilot?
Hi, I just changed the whole fixture for the third light. There are two caps on each side of the fixture. With flat screw driver, take off the caps and take out the screws. The light fixture will come out and twist the socket of the light bulb. Now you can able to change the light bulb. I hope this will help you all.
Can a 220V light fixture be used in the US?

Does a down light consume less electricity?
The fixture construction has nothing to do with the amount of energy that the fixture uses. It is the lamp in the fixture that draws the amperage. This amperage times the fixtures voltage is what gives you the fixtures wattage. W = A x V. Watts = Amps x Volts.
Why does the light fixture crackle when you turn off the lights?
the fixture expands from the heat generated by the bulb. so it contracts as it cools
What is the cost to replace a street light bulb?
The cost of the bulb is in the 30 dollar range. The cost to replace it depends on the hourly rate of the person changing the lamp and the additional cost of a bucket truck to reach the light fixture. This price will vary throughout the country in which you live.
