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.
Can you put a 100 watt bulb in a 75 watt lamp?
Yes, you CAN. The real question is whether or not you should. There is always a fire hazard, especially if the lamp is near drapes, or has a large shade or whatnot on it. If it was me I'd only use a 60 watt bulb in a 60 watt lamp.
What is the best wattage bulb to use in a bedroom lamp?
The wattage of bulb one uses in a bedroom lamp depends on several factors. If it is a lamp used for back ground lighting or a night lamp, one would use a very low wattage bulb. If it is for a bedroom reading lamp, one would want a stronger wattage. The biggest factor on deciding what wattage to use is the wattage suggested by the lamp manufacturer. All lamps are marked with recommend bulb wattage.
Can you use a 75 watt light bulb on a lamp rated 60 watt max?
Usually the 60-watt limit is used to prevent the lampshade overheating, so a 75-watt bulb should not be used. But if more brightness is required, try a low-energy bulb because a 15-watt one gives the same light as a 75-watt incandescent (old-style) bulb. Or a 20-watt would be even brighter.
How many watt does an exit light use?
If the exit fixture uses a LED lamp it will have a 1 to 3 watt rating. If it is a incandescent bulb, each lamp will draw about 25 watts each.
What happens when a light bulb is connected to the output coil of the transformer?
Assuming that the voltage rating of the lamp matches the rated secondary voltage of the transformer, the lamp will operate at its rated power.
What would be the maximum rating of the incandescent bulb for a dimmer switch?
Find the wattage rating on the dimmer controller. This is the maximum allowable wattage that the lamp in the fixture should be. Lamp wattage ratings under the rated dimmer wattage is fine but do not install a larger wattage lamp that is over the dimmer control's rating.
Difference between a lamp and a bulb?
A lamp refers to the entire lighting fixture that holds the bulb and provides light, while a bulb is the actual light-emitting component that fits inside the lamp and produces light when powered. In other words, the bulb is the source of light, while the lamp is the structure that houses and supports the bulb.

How much electrical energy is produced by a light bulb with the power ratings of 60w?
A lamp doesn't produce electrical energy; it utilises it. The power-rating of the lamp will tell you the rate at which that lamp uses expends energy at its rated voltage. For example, a 60-W lamp will expend energy at 60 joules per second.
