How do you change operating voltage of metal halide lamp from 240 to 120?

The lamp needs to be rated for the voltage applied to it. The fixture in which the lamp is installed also needs to be rated for the voltage. So, it is not a matter of changing the lamp, it is a matter of having the fixture and lamp that are properly rated for the voltage that you are applying to it.


What is the current on a 60w fluorescent lamp?

To find the current drawn by a 60-watt fluorescent lamp, you can use the formula: current (I) = power (P) / voltage (V). Assuming the lamp operates at a standard voltage of 120 volts, the current would be approximately 0.5 amps (60W / 120V = 0.5A). If the lamp operates at a different voltage, simply adjust the calculation accordingly.


What voltage mercury lamp works?

Mercury lamps typically operate at voltages ranging from 100 volts to 600 volts, depending on the specific type and size of the lamp. The exact operating voltage required will be specified by the manufacturer in the lamp's technical specifications. It is essential to follow the manufacturer's guidelines to ensure safe and optimal performance of the mercury lamp.


Can you plug a 220V. 800Watt lamp into 240V?

Yes, but you will get a higher wattage output than 800 watts, this means that the lamp will glow brighter. This connection will also shorten the life of the lamp because of the higher voltage. When you state "plug", it suggests that the connection will not be made if the plug can not fit into the receptacle.


Can you plug a 250 volt lamp into US outlet?

Yes. If the plug (cap) end of the 250 volt lamp is compatible to the receptacle the lamp would work. The light output of the lamp would not be very bright. Because the working voltage is halved so would the light output.

What is operating voltage of mercury lamp?

The operating voltage of a mercury lamp typically ranges from 100 to 300 volts, depending on the specific type and size of the lamp.


How does changing voltage across a lamp affect the power consumption of the lamp?

because it does!


In a circuit of two lamps in parallel if there is a voltage of 6 V across one lamp what is the voltage across the other lamp?

6 Volts.


What happen to lamp if over voltage?

A lamp will only operate at its rated power if it is subjected to its rated voltage. Increase that voltage will increase the power of the lamp -in other words, it will operate more brightly. This is how 'photoflood' lamps operate -they are deliberately designed to operate at overvoltage. Of course, this reduces the life of the lamp.

Why do the voltage drops of an inductor and a lamp in a series ac circuit not equal the applied voltage?

The voltage is greater than the applied voltage, why?


Why a lamp cannot run with the telephone line voltage?

A lamp can be run by power from a telephone line.


Why does a 25 watt bulb glow brighter than 60 watt in a series circuit?

Because the filament of a 25-W lamp has a higher resistance than that of a 60-W lamp and, therefore, will experience a greater voltage drop -the lamp with the voltage drop closer to its rated voltage (in this case, the 25-W lamp) will be the brighter.


What is function of the choke in lamp circuit?

The function of a choke in a lamp circuit is to produce high voltage. In tubelights, the high voltage is essential for ionisation of the gas which is present in tubelights.


What is the voltage of the neon lamp?

The voltage of a neon lamp typically ranges from 80 to 120 volts for it to operate effectively. Neon lamps require a higher voltage to ionize the gas inside and produce the characteristic glowing light.


If you have low voltage lights in your yard and you want to install a decorative street lamp how do you increase the voltage to power the 120V street lamp?

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.
