It depends in which country you are located. Through out the world that are different electrical voltages. The electrical manufactures knowing this and wanting to sell world wide make bulb to run on that countries electrical system. The two main voltages that bulbs operate on are; in 60 Hertz countries 120 volts and 50 Hertz countries 230 volts.

WHAT IS THE LOWEST VOLTAGE NEED TO LIGHT A LIGHT BULB?
A light bulb is manufactured to operate on a specific voltage. The voltage can be a low as needed and the manufacturer will compute the size of the filament that is needed for a specific wattage. If you are referring to a threshold voltage then that is another question that needs to be asked.
WILL 103 VOLTS LIGHT A 60 WATT LIGHT BULB?
Yes, a 103 volt source will light a 60 watt light bulb. The relationship of the bulb's wattage output at a lower voltage, as to the normal voltage that the bulb is rated to operate on, the light output will be lower.
If you operate an incandescent light bulb at less than its rated voltage?
Since an incandescent light bulb is an appliance that has a fixed electrical resistance, operating it at less than its rated voltage means that it will draw less than its rated current and will produce less light.
How many volts does a fluorescent light bulb need?
A fluorescent light bulb typically operates on a voltage range of 100-277 volts, depending on the specific model and design. The most common standard voltage for residential use in the United States is 120 volts.
What will happen if this 4.5 v bulb is connected to a 1.5 v cell?
The bulb need the correct voltage to operate. Your bulb would light if it is a 1.5 volt light. So the voltage of the supply and the light must be matched. Too little voltage won't light the light, too much will light it too much and blow it up.
WHAT IS THE LOWEST VOLTAGE NEED TO LIGHT A LIGHT BULB?
A light bulb is manufactured to operate on a specific voltage. The voltage can be a low as needed and the manufacturer will compute the size of the filament that is needed for a specific wattage. If you are referring to a threshold voltage then that is another question that needs to be asked.
Can a HID bulb work in a standard light socket?
No. An hid bulb has a transformer (ballast) that produces a certain voltage needed to fire the gas in that lamp.
How does Thomas Alva Edison's light bulb work?
Michael Faraday's made a light bulb with a platinum wire, he put it in a small glass globe, and attached it to a low voltage source. it glowed and produced light. Platinum is expensive. It only worked at low voltage. Others made lightbulbs. Edison decided a light bulb was a good idea but it needed to be made inexpensively. It needed to work at a higher voltage. The source of the electricity needed to be different from the place where the light bulb would be used. He looked for a material that could be made inexpensively and could last. It needed to be able to take higher voltage. He heated some thread until it turned to carbon. Then he made a vacuum inside a light bulb. He put the thread inside the bulb. It worked. He created a light bulb. It could be made inexpensively. It could work at a fairly high voltage.
How does the voltage affect the brightness of a volt light?
The brightness of a light bulb is directly proportional to the voltage applied to it. Increasing the voltage increases the brightness of the light bulb, while decreasing the voltage decreases the brightness.
When a light bulb is rated for 3.2 V does that mean that is the maximum operating voltage OR the minimum operating voltage OR or the optimum operating voltage?
When a light bulb is rated for 3.2 V it means that it is the maximum operating voltage to be applied to the bulb.
How is voltage determined on a light bulb?
Voltage on a light bulb is determined by the amount of electrical potential difference applied across its terminals. The higher the voltage, the brighter the bulb will shine. Light bulbs are typically rated to operate at a specific voltage, such as 120V for standard household bulbs.
WILL 103 VOLTS LIGHT A 60 WATT LIGHT BULB?
Yes, a 103 volt source will light a 60 watt light bulb. The relationship of the bulb's wattage output at a lower voltage, as to the normal voltage that the bulb is rated to operate on, the light output will be lower.
What kind of battery makes a bulb shine brighter?
Usually a higher voltage will make a light bulb shine brighter; but if the voltage is too high, this can also destroy the light bulb.
What is the Relationship Between Voltage And Brightness of the Bulb?
The relationship between voltage and brightness of a bulb is directly proportional. As voltage increases, the brightness of the bulb increases because higher voltage provides more energy for the bulb to emit light. Conversely, decreasing voltage reduces the brightness of the bulb.
How do you work out the current of a light bulb?
You can use Ohm's Law to calculate the current of a light bulb by dividing the voltage across the light bulb by its resistance, which is typically provided on the bulb itself or its packaging. The formula is: Current (I) = Voltage (V) / Resistance (R).
What voltage would a low voltage light bulb generally have?
24 volts
How do you test a light bulb with a voltmeter?
To test a light bulb with a voltmeter, set the voltmeter to measure AC voltage. Then, place the voltmeter probes on the metal contacts at the base of the light bulb. If the light bulb is working properly, the voltmeter should display a voltage reading. If there is no reading, the light bulb may be defective and needs to be replaced.
