it all depends on what the bulb is rated for
4 extra volts on a 120 volt bulb is negligable
4 extra volts on a 1 volt bulb will definitely pop the element, but I don't think it would explode
AnswerDepends on the bulb voltage, but it shouldn't explode.If it's a 6volt bulb or lower, it would burn out quickly.
If it's a 12volt bulb or higher, it may have a shorter life, but it would be brighter.

What happens when a light bulb get more than 120 volts?
The filament will melt AND MAYBE THE LAMP WILL EXPLODE
How much volts does a small light bulb need to be powered?
110 volts is what comes out of an average wall socket in America. A 100-watt bulb would be powered by 110 volts. You need to be more specific in your question to get a good answer. Small can't be measured.
How many volts lamps use?
it varys from light bulb to light bulb.
How does light intensity affect the voltage?
Light intensity affects voltage because the higher the intensity of light, the more volts are produced. It works exactly the same way in the case of: the lower the light intensity the less volts that are produced.
How many volts does it take to power a big light bulb?
For lighting up a city you need 120 volts in the USA and 230 volts in Europe. It's just the usual voltage the light bulbs are needing.

How many volts are in a light?
There are no volts in a light. A light consumes power.
Can I connect a Dutch ceiling light to my UK electrics?
The Netherlands uses 220 volts at 50hz and the UK uses 230 volts at 50 hz. So as long as you use a 230 volt light bulb in your UK home the fixture will work perfectly. It can handle the extra 10 volts.

How many volts are in anonion to power a light bulb?
Onions don't have volts.
Would 120 volts 60Hz power tools work on 220 volts 50Hz?
No, the extra voltage will burn them out very quickly !
If a light bulb is connected between 2 wires and both wires have 300 volts of electrical energy is the light bulb lit?
A light bulb connected between to wires, each having 300 volts to ground that are in phase, will not light, because there is no differential voltage available to do any work. If each wire has 300 volts to ground and are out of phase (600 volts between them) the light bulb will be lit, if it is rated at least for 600 volts, otherwise it will burn out.
