Is it safe to substitute a 45 watt halogen bulb for a use 40 watt or less type G bulb?

The base of the bulb obviously determines where it can fit and for most home fixture cases determines the voltage (Unfortunately there are many speciality bulbs where the base can fit different voltage situations and you have to be more careful). Light fixtures are rated for a maximum wattage. Bulbs have both a wattage and voltage rating. So if the halogen fits the base, is the same voltage and the fixture is rated for 45 watts or better, then you are good to go.


Can I replace a heat lamp bulb with a regular bulb?

Yes, as long as the voltage is the same and the bulb has the same or less wattage. The fixture is rated at a certain wattage that can be found on a label somewhere on the fixture. Never use a larger wattage than what is stated on this label.


Can you mix incandescent bulb with halogen bulb in same light fitting?

Yes, the halogen bulb would provide about 30% more brightness (lumens) for the same electric power rating. So 70 watt halogen is about equal to 90-100 watt incandescent.


How do you prove that it is the wattage and not the physical size of a light bulb that matters for energy use?

You can prove it by using an energy monitor that measures the actual energy consumption of the light bulb. The wattage directly correlates to the amount of energy used by the bulb, regardless of its physical size. A higher wattage bulb will consume more energy than a lower wattage bulb, even if they are of the same physical size.


Do the same wattage light bulb have different resistance?

Yes. The resistance of a globe depends not only on the wattage of it but also on the voltage. A 12 V Globe would has a quarter the resistance of a 24 volt globe for the same wattage. (when alight)

Does the size of the light bulb affect how much energy it uses with wire and a battery?

The size of the light bulb (wattage) affects the amount of energy it consumes. A higher wattage bulb will use more energy than a lower wattage bulb with the same wire and battery. The wire and battery provide the electricity needed for the bulb to produce light.
