12 volts is enough for a 12-volt 100-watt light bulb. It would not be enough for a 120-volt or 240-volt bulb.

The lights will be dim and last only a few minutes then the battery will be very dead.

Can a 6 volt battery light up a 40 watt bulb?

No, a 6 volt battery is not strong enough to power a 40 watt bulb, which typically requires around 12 volts to operate efficiently. You would need a higher voltage power source to light up a 40 watt bulb.


Can you use 220 volt light bulb on 120 volt system - I know the reverse would probably blow the bulb so wouldn't European 220 Volt do ok in 120 volt socket or would it be dimmer than it normally would?

Yes a 220 volt light bulb will run on a 120 volt circuit but at 1/4 of the wattage that the light bulb is rated at. A 100 watt light bulb on 220 would would be equal to a 25 watt light bult on 120 volt system.


Can a car battery light up a 60 watt regular light bulb with out using a power inverter?

Yes it it is a 12 volt DC light bulb. It will not operate a household 120 volt light bulb.


WILL 103 VOLTS LIGHT A 60 WATT LIGHT BULB?

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.


What is the common bulb number for a 12 volt 18 watt automotive backup light?

Can you use a 130 volt 60 watt bulb in a socket that was made for a 110 volt 60 watt bulb?

yes the bulb will actually last longer


How many amps to light a 60 watt light bulb?

A 60 watt light bulb typically draws 0.5 amps from a 120-volt power source. This is calculated by dividing the wattage (60 watts) by the voltage (120 volts).


What kind of battery can power a 40 watt light bulb?

If the bulb is a 40 watt, 120v bulb, you would need 20 6 volt batteries wired in series, or 80 (!) 1.5 volt batteries. 1.5 volt batteries are AAA, AA, C, D, etc. Since this solution is rather extravagant, try finding a light bulb made for an RV. These typically run off of 12 volts, and you can get a single 12 volt battery, or 2 6 volt batteries, to run this bulb.


Do a 12 volt 50 watt bulb and a 230 volt 50 watt bulb draw the same current?

No, they do not draw the same current. The current drawn by an electrical device is determined by the power (Watts) and voltage (Volts) using the formula: Current (amps) = Power (Watts) / Voltage (Volts). So, the 12 volt 50 watt bulb will draw higher current compared to the 230 volt 50 watt bulb.


What is the volt of a zero watt bulb?

120 volts.


How many batteries does it take to light up a 25 watt bulb?

Assuming the batteries have a voltage that matches the bulb's requirement, you would need at least 2 AA batteries connected in series to power a 25-watt bulb. This setup would provide enough voltage and current to light up the bulb.


Can you use a 120 volt - 500 watt bulb in a 220 volt lamp?
