Yes, as long as you do not exceed the amount of wattage the lamp is rated for.

Can an appliance bulb be used in a lamp?
As long as the base configuration is the same then, yes the bulbs can be interchanged.
Light bulbs in a series circuit have the same brightness?
If they have the same resistance they will. Kirchhoff's' Law.
What are the manufacturing costs of fluorescent and incandescent light bulbs?
The costs of manufacturing costs of fluorescent and incandescent light bulbs are about the same aside from the slight different materials.
Can you recycle xenon light bulbs?
Halogen light bulbs are a type of incandescent light bulbs and are filled with a halogen gas. The halogen gas gives the bulbs a longer life than traditional incandescent bulbs because it helps redeposit the evaporated tungsten back to the filament. Halogen light bulbs are not the same thing as compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFL bulbs), which have mercury inside and are often subject to state or local disposal regulations. Also, halogen light bulbs are not recyclable like CFL bulbs are.
Why can light bulbs be called heat bulbs?
Heat bulbs would be a more appropriate name because incandescent bulbs transform 90% of electricity received into heat and 10% into light. New Compact Fluorescent light bulbs use only 20% to 30% of the energy needed to power a standard bulb for the same wattage.
How fluorescent lamp promotes conservation of energy?
It uses less energy, to produce the same light, than the traditional light-bulbs.
Do bulbs need to be sold together with lamps?
In electrical terminology bulbs and lamps are the same thing. If you are talking about a lamp as a fixture no bulbs and lamp fixtures do no need to be sold together.
What are the differences of bulbs and lights and lamps?
These terms mean the same thing: typically people say 'bulbs', 'lights', or 'lamps'. Most electricians use 'lamps' to mean any of these. Typically, a light fixture is called a fixture, or a luminaire. The part that actually lights, is called a lamp. (A table lamp can also be called a lamp).
In a parallel circuit how is the brightness of the light bulbs?
the bulbs would be very bright seeing as the two or more light bulbs have very easy excusable paths for electricity to flow and get to the light bulbAnswerBecause the voltage across each branch of a parallel circuit is the same, each lamp will be subject to its rated voltage and, therefore, will operate at its rated power output.
Does a compact fluorescent lamp use 60 watts the same as a standard lamp?
40 watts is 40 watts, that is what you are paying for. However, an incandescent bulb uses the 40 watts to make light and heat. The compact bulbs make more light and less heat for the same wattage. To actually save, choose a lower wattage that will give acceptable light levels.
Compare the current in a 2 light bulbs wired in a series circuit?
Since the SAME electrons have to go through both light bulbs, the current in both light bulbs will be the same (Kirchhoff's current law).
Can an appliance bulb be used in a lamp?
As long as the base configuration is the same then, yes the bulbs can be interchanged.
Are light bulbs really efficient?
Normal incandescent bulbs produce a lot of heat as well as light, so are not so efficient as low energy bulbs which can give the same light but consume much less electricity
How much energy does a 5 watt light bulb?
That varies a lot, depending on the type of light bulb. The old-fashioned incandescent light bulbs produce much less light, for the same power, than the fluorescent light bulbs.That varies a lot, depending on the type of light bulb.

Which wattage is used if you put a 3 way bulb into a lamp that does not have 3way ability?
The medium filament will be the light producer. This is because that filament is connected to the center pin of the lamp base the same as ordinary light bulbs. If the tri-light bulb is 50, 100 and 150 watts, the 100 watt portion will light.
What light bulbs are in a 1970 Chevelle Dash?
It should be the same type of bulbs that are in the side marker lights. They should be #194 bulbs if memory serves.
