At 10 cents per kWh (Kilowatt hour), one 100 watt incandescent light bulb ran for 24 hours straight will cost 24 cents a day. $7.30 a month, $87.60 a year.
kWh = (Watts Used * Hours per Day * Days per Month) / 1000
Cost per Month = kWh * Cost per kWh
If you want your bulbs to last longer then use 130 volt bulb on a 120 volt system. The light emitted by a 130 volt bulb, when comparing it to a 120 volt bulb, will be a bit dimmer.
Is the bulb a 1.5 volt bulb? A 3 volt bulb? A 12 volt bulb or a 120 volt bulb?Or does it have some other voltage such as 230 volts which is very common in Europe and many other countries of the world?What is the wattage of the "big light bulb"?This question cannot be answered without knowing at least the voltage and the wattage of the light bulb that is being asked about.
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.
Yes it it is a 12 volt DC light bulb. It will not operate a household 120 volt light bulb.
Yes, for about .1 second, then it will blow the lamp. A 9v battery will however light three 3.5v lamps.
Um, a 5 volt light bulb?
A 13.5 volt bulb will burn less brightly but last longer.
Yes, you can easily use it. Just install it as you would any other 120 volt light fixture and change the bulb from a 240 volt bulb to a 120 volt bulb. It will work just fine.
From stores which sell light bulbs for flashlamps.
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.
Yes, in fact that is what a rough service bulb is rated at. The bulb used on a 120 volt system will have a reduced wattage output as to what it would be on 130 volts.
Mine has a 25 watt 120 volt bulb in it.
