Can a 220 circuit breaker run a 120 light bulb?

Yes. The 125V is the rating of the bulb, which indicates the voltage it was manufactured to withstand. The voltage it is actually operated at does not have to be precisely 125V; As a matter of fact the voltage coming from your wall socket can vary from as low as 100VAC all the way to above 125 VAC. So, screw that bulb in and light up your world!


How do you troubleshoot a pool light if a new replacement bulb does not light?

We had a problem,year after year with every bulb we had replaced. My pool contractor would check the electrical current in the switch, in the connections under the plate in the deck, and in the fuse box. He would also check for a current in the bulb everytime. No problem would show up each time but the bulb would never stay lit for more than 30 seconds everytime it was replaced. It took me five years to get him to remove the light and low and behold, the contacts were rusted. Hope this helps. Lori


Can you light a fluorescent bulb with static electricity?

Yes, you can flash a fluorescent tube with static electricity. Once the static potential difference is equalized the tube will go out. <<>> Static electricity is discharged with a spark in a fraction of a second. Florescent bulbs stay on for long periods of time. Perhaps it could operate a strobe light one time every few minutes. A strobe light does not provide enough light to be useful for anything except photography and dancing at a club!
