Electricity in your house or anywhere else comes in volts. When you screw in a light bulb, you screw it in to an electrical socket that has a certain number of volts. The socket can have 3 volts like a flash light, 12 volts like a car, 120 volts like American houses, or 240 volts like some Latin American houses. The light bulb is designed to work with one of those voltages. If you put a 240 volt bulb in a 120 volt socket, it will glow extremely dim. If you put a 120 volt light bulb in a 240 volt socket, it will glow extremely bright, but it will burn out in a short period of time. So you should put a 120 volt bulb in a 120 volt socket. In the United States, you will not have that trouble. However, if you take your yacht to a foreign country, you might put your light bulb in the wrong socket.

A lamp will only operate at its rated power when subject to its rated voltage. So, if you want your lamp to operate at its rated power, you must connect it to a supply which provides its rated voltage
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.

110 volts is what comes out of an average wall socket in America. A 100-watt bulb would be powered by 110 volts. You need to be more specific in your question to get a good answer. Small can't be measured.
A typical big light bulb, like an incandescent bulb, usually requires around 120 volts to operate. However, it's always best to check the specific voltage requirements listed on the bulb itself or its packaging to ensure safe and proper operation.
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.
V on a light bulb means volts. W means watts.
If a light bulb is rated at 60 Watts, the voltage will depend on the specific type of bulb. For a typical incandescent bulb, the voltage would be around 120 volts. However, for an LED or CFL bulb, the voltage could be different, such as 120 volts or 240 volts.
Um, a 5 volt light bulb?
Onions don't have volts.
A light bulb connected between to wires, each having 300 volts to ground that are in phase, will not light, because there is no differential voltage available to do any work. If each wire has 300 volts to ground and are out of phase (600 volts between them) the light bulb will be lit, if it is rated at least for 600 volts, otherwise it will burn out.
Each light bulb will receive the full 9 volts from the battery in a series circuit, so each bulb will be operating on 9 volts.
12 volts
