How do you know whether to get 120 volt or 130 volt light bulb?
Choose a bulb with the same voltage as your fixture to prevent damage or risk of overheating. If the fixture specifies 120 volts, use a 120-volt bulb. If in doubt, consult the manufacturer's instructions or a professional electrician.
Can a 135 volt bulb replace a 120 volt bulb?
Yes, and the 135V bulb will last longer than the 120V bulb because the filament is thicker.The downside is that the higher voltage bulb will not be quite as bright, and its light may be slightly more yellow in color (the color temperature will be less when run on a lower than design voltage).
What happens when 240 volt equipment is plugged into a 120 volt source or if 110 120 volt equipment is plugged into a 60 volt source assuming all alternating current?
When equipment is run at a lower voltage than it is designed for, it does not operate correctly. A light will glow dimly or not at all, a heater produces much less heat. Electronic equipment may not function at all.
Is it safe to use a 130 volt light bulb in a 120 volt lamp?
Yes, because all manufactures figure in a minimal safety factor in order to pass UL code for people who don't follow recommended applications. <<>> A 130 volt bulb will not be as bright as a comparable bulb of the same wattage on 120 volts. Traffic signal light bulbs have a 130 volt rating. Used on 120 volt systems the bulbs last much longer because that are rated for a higher voltage. This bulb will gradually be replaced by LED lamps which have a much more significant life span.
How to Replace 120 volt pool light with a 12 volt pool light?
To replace a 120 volt pool light with a 12 volt pool light, you will need to ensure that the new light is compatible with your pool's existing wiring and transformer. Consult the manufacturer's instructions for the specific installation steps. It is recommended to hire a professional electrician to safely make this switch.
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.
Can a 120 volt light work on 110 power?
Yes, a 120 volt light can work on a 110 volt power supply without any issues. The difference of 10 volts will not significantly impact the function or performance of the light.
How do you know whether to get 120 volt or 130 volt light bulb?

Can a hps light fixture be plugged in to a regular outlet?
If the ballast of the HPS fixture has a 120 volt tap then, yes it can be plugged into a 120 volt receptacle.
Can you use a 130 volt light bulb on a 120 volt supply?
Yes, in fact that is what a rough service bulb is rated at. The bulb used on a 120 volt system will have a reduced wattage output as to what it would be on 130 volts.
Can a 220V light fixture be used in the US?
Yes, you can easily use it. Just install it as you would any other 120 volt light fixture and change the bulb from a 240 volt bulb to a 120 volt bulb. It will work just fine.
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.
How come you have 48 volts going to a 120 volt light fixture?
It draws 2.5Amps

Yes it it is a 12 volt DC light bulb. It will not operate a household 120 volt light bulb.
How many 1.5 volt batteries does take to light up a big light bulb?
Is the bulb a 1.5 volt bulb? A 3 volt bulb? A 12 volt bulb or a 120 volt bulb?Or does it have some other voltage such as 230 volts which is very common in Europe and many other countries of the world?What is the wattage of the "big light bulb"?This question cannot be answered without knowing at least the voltage and the wattage of the light bulb that is being asked about.
