Yes. As long as the voltage is designed for the lamp and the socket and fixture can handle the heat (from the rated power in watts), you can. You will probably find that the socket or connector for this lamp is different than the one intended.

Can a light bulb work on a DC voltage?

It can, but if you're wanting to run a 120v light bulb on DC, you'll need 120v DC to get the rated output. That's a lot of batteries. It's easier, and more sensible, to find a DC rated light bulb, such as an RV bulb.


Where do you put a 60v bulb?

If you meant 60w (or watts) then it is used primarily in small table lamps and closets. If you meant 60 v (or volts) then you could use it in series with another 60v bulb on a standard household 120v circuit.

Can't find a JCDR-C 120v 50w halide replacement bulb for photography device. Base needs two prong bulb. Can I put a MR16 type halogen lamp bulb in the device?

No you cannot use a standard mr-16 12volt bulb as it will short right when you turn it on. They do sell them but you have to look up 120V mr-16 JCDR or JCDR-C.

Of course this is a bad idea. It will likely look like a flash bulb and may explode the glass. Do not do anything like this.


Use a 145v light bulb in a 120v socket?

Yes. The bulb will be slightly dimmer, but will last much longer. Most 145V bulbs are intended to be used in 120V exit signs. The reason for the higher voltage rating on the bulb is because it will last a long, long time when used at 120V.


Can a 9V battery power a 120V light bulb?

im not sure if this will work or not but... If you use a 9v battery threw an inverter, then a step-up transformer to convert 9v DC to 120v ac i think it will light the bulb, however current decreases when you do that and i dont know how much a light bulb needs..worth a try, i might actually try it now
