What else can I help you with?
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.
Can you put a 100 watt equivelant eco bulb in a 65 watt rated receptacle?
Yes, the actual wattage to create similar lumen's to a 100 watt incandescent lamp is around 23 watts in a compact florescent lamp. This being the case the actual draw would only be 23 watts or so and thus well under the 65 watts recommended for your fixture.
Can you put a 10.5 LED bulb in a basic 40 watt intermediate lamp base?
An LED bulb that replaces a basic bulb must have the same working voltage and the same type of fitting. A 10.5 watt LED will draw less power and produce less heat than a 40 watt incandescent, but not all LEDs are dimmable.
Can a 34 watt T8 bulb be put in a fixture designed with a 40 watt T12 ballast?
No, it is not recommended to use a higher-wattage bulb in a fixture than what the ballast is designed for. Using a 34 watt T8 bulb with a 40 watt T12 ballast can lead to decreased efficiency, increased risk of damage to the ballast and bulb, and potential safety hazards. It is best to match the bulb wattage with the ballast rating for optimal performance and safety.
Can you put a fluorescent bulb in your floor lamp?
Yes, you can use a fluorescent bulb in a floor lamp as long as the bulb fits the lamp's socket and wattage requirements. Make sure to check the lamp's specifications to ensure compatibility and consider the lighting quality and intensity of the fluorescent bulb for your needs.
Can you put a lower 13 watt bulb in a 15 watt lamp?
Yes. Lower wattage would be safe for the lamp wires and components.

Can you re charge solar powered torch at night?
Of course! Just put it under a 100 watt light bulb

How many btu's of heat are produced by a T8 fluorescent lamp?
Almost 90 % of electrical energy provided to an incandescent light bulb goes as heat and rest as light. A 100 Watt bulb puts out 100 Joules of heat per second. So - for one minute it would put out 6000 Joules (100 Watts X 60 seconds). 1 BTU (British Thermal Unit) of heat = 1055.056 Joules. So a 100 watt bulb, burning for one minute would put out 5.68 BTUs of heat. ( 6000 Joules / 1055.056 Joules) = 5.68 BTUs. Same bulb burning for one hour would generate 341 BTUs of heat.
Does a 100 watt bulb put out more light than a 25 watt bulb?
The higher the rated wattage of the bulb, the greater the luminous efficacy, which means you get more lumens per watt using a 120-watt bulb than using two 60-watt bulbs.Check the lumen ratings for the two 60 watt bulbs, and compare it with the lumen rating for the 120 watt bulb. That should give you the answer you seek. The 60 watt bulbs may give off a light that is more yellow than the 120 watt.A More AccurateIt depends upon the type of light bulbs used, and what you mean by "light". Incandescent light bulbs are very efficient at converting electricity into light, but unfortunately they emit most of that light in the infrared band, which humans cannot see. Therefore, we describe incandescent bulbs as being inefficient in terms of converting electricity into visible light.Generally, higher wattage incandescent light bulbs operate at higher temperatures, and they therefore emit a greater proportion of the light in the visible spectrum. Consequently it is common to say a 120 watt bulb emits more than twice the light of a 60 watt bulb. In truth, a 120 watt bulb emits almost exactly double the luminescent energy of a 60 watt bulb, but because the 120 watt emits a greater proportion of its energy in the visible spectrum, it is common to claim that the 120 watt bulb emits more than double the light of a 60 watt bulb.The situation changes considerably when talking about fluorescent and LED bulbs, which emit the majority of their luminescent energy in the visible spectrum. That is why they are so popular, because they use much less electrical energy to emit the same amount of visible light, compared to incandescent light bulbs. As a general rule, a 120 watt fluorescent or LED bulb will emit about twice the visible light as a 60 watt bulb.Watts is not a unit of light, but of power consumption. However, many people are familiar with the amount of light emitted from an incandescent lamp (bulb) of a given wattage, so that has become an unofficial way of expressing brightness. Many compact fluorescent packages are labeled with the incandescent wattage giving a similar light output.
Can you put a 40w bulb in a 60w lamp?
Yes, you can put a 40w bulb in a 60w lamp. The wattage rating on the lamp indicates the maximum wattage the lamp can handle, so using a lower wattage bulb is safe. Just make sure the base size and type match.
Can you put a 7 watt bulb in a 40 watt socket?
Yes if it fits. The 40 watts would be an upper limit.
Can you put a 10 watt bulb in a 32 watt ballast?
Yes, you can use a 10-watt bulb with a 32-watt ballast, but it may not operate efficiently. The ballast is designed to provide the necessary starting and operating voltage for higher wattage bulbs, which could lead to flickering or a shorter lifespan for the 10-watt bulb. It's generally recommended to match the bulb wattage with the ballast for optimal performance.
