The wires are designed to carry electric current while only offering minimal resistance so as not to waste electricity or cause overheating. The filament of a(n old-fashioned) bulb was designed so that it heated up to a very high temperature when an electrical current was passed through it. Heated up to such an extent that it started glowing - and that was what gave bulbs their light.

What does mol mean in light bulbs?

MOL refers to MAXIMUM OVERALL LENGTH. MOL is Maximum Overall Length measurement. MOL of bulb is measured from top of bulb to bottom of Bulb base (or bottom of pins.) Exception is if bulb has flexible wire leads, then measurement does NOT include the length of wires. Actual bulb is likely shorter (sometimes much, much shorter) than the MOL industry standard specification.

Headlight in 1993 Nissan sentra doesn't work fuse good bulb good?

The '93 sentra's use generally composite headlights. Did just one headlight go out? If so it would not be the headlight relay located in the engine compartment, as both lights would be out. With the hood up, the backside of your troubled headlight should have a plastic round locking type fastener the wires go into with the bulb and socket. Undo the outer plastic ring to disconnect the bulb from the headlight, then unsnap the tab that the bulb and socket use to separate them, inspect the bulb filaments for visible signs of breakage, get a second opinion from your auto parts store if you are unable to tell. More than likely it's the bulb that has gone out.

Can you use 60 watt bulb in scentsy warmer?

NO! THIS IS DANGEROUS The largest warmer uses a maximum capacity wattage bulbs of 25 watts. The mid-size 20-watts and the plug ins; 15 watts. You are risking the chance of fire or burns if you use a higher wattage bulb than 25, 20 or 15 watt bulb in their perspective warmer! If you have a problem with getting bulbs, I can remedy that solution forever. Please visit https://carandhome.scentsy.us/Scentsy/Home and any warmer you purchase, I will give you (correct sized) FREE BULBS for LIFE! Thanks.

What needs to be complete is the circuit from the battery to the bulb, then the other wire from the bulb to the other side of the battery.If it is from an outlet rather than a battery, the circuit starts and finishes with the live and neutral pins at the outlet.

What is a retaining wire on Kia Spectra headlight?

The retaining wire on a Kia Spectra headlight is simply a wire spring that holds the bulb in place. You can push the spring in and down and the retaining wire swings free, then you can remove the wires attached to the small bulb and pull the bulb out to replace it with one from a parts store or department store. To get to the bulb and the retaining wire you will "unscrew" the round plastic cover under the hood by the radiator by spinning it counter clockwise. It takes less than 5 minutes to replace a headlight on a Kia after you have done it correctly once.
