Light bulbs, called lamps, are run on 110 to 120 volts AC when they plug into household wiring. Other lamps use 1.5 volts, 3 volts, 4.5 volts or 6 volts DC when they are running off batteries in flashlights. Car lamps use 12 volts (though the actual car voltage is a bit more). Lamps have ratings that are specified by the manufacturers, and they have a given voltage rating based on their design. There are quite a few different lamps that come in a variety of voltage ratings.

If a light bulb is connected between 2 wires and both wires have 300 volts of electrical energy is the light bulb lit?

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.
