Yes. These values are not exact, your voltage could actually be between about 220 and 240 at any given time as long as you're within that range it's okay.

Additional Answer

The figures for voltage/current/power that you see printed on lamps, or on appliance data plates, are termed nominal values, where 'nominal' means 'named'. So if a lamp has a nominal value of, say, 240 V, this doesn't mean that the lamp will necessarily be subjected to exactly 240 V when it is plugged into a supply.

Since 1st January, 1995, the UK's nominal supply voltage has been specified as 230 V -but the actual voltage is allowed to vary between -6% and +10% of this nominal figure -in other words between 216.2 V - 253.0 V. So, as you can see, it is quite normal for a lamp with a nominal voltage of 230 V to operate at an actual voltage of 240 V.

Can you replace a 110 volt 35 watt halogen bulb with a 120 volt 35 watt bulb?

Yes, you can replace a 110 volt 35 watt halogen bulb with a 120 volt 35 watt bulb, as the wattage is the same. The slight difference in voltage (110V vs. 120V) generally won't affect performance, as most bulbs can operate within a range of voltages. However, ensure the fixture is rated for the wattage to avoid overheating. Always check the specifications of your fixture for compatibility.


Can you use a 120 volt - 500 watt bulb in a 220 volt lamp?

Can you use 220 volt light bulb on 120 volt system - I know the reverse would probably blow the bulb so wouldn't European 220 Volt do ok in 120 volt socket or would it be dimmer than it normally would?

Yes a 220 volt light bulb will run on a 120 volt circuit but at 1/4 of the wattage that the light bulb is rated at. A 100 watt light bulb on 220 would would be equal to a 25 watt light bult on 120 volt system.

Is 12 volt is enough for a 100 watt light bulb?

12 volts is enough for a 12-volt 100-watt light bulb. It would not be enough for a 120-volt or 240-volt bulb.


A 60-watt 120 volt lamp requires morecurrrent than a 40 watt 120 volt lamp?

Yes. A 60W bulb has a higher resistance than the 40W buld. The extra resistance requires more current to light up the bulb. The fillament then glows brighter.
