Also CFL and LED light bulbs use much less actual wattage than their equivalent wattage.
It is best to look at the datasheet for each individual type of light bulb. They can vary from milliwatts to kilowatts, depending on the purpose the light bulb was intended for.

(the pronoun 'it' takes the place of the noun 'light' as the object of the preposition 'for')
How would you make a bulb in a circuit shine with a fainter light?
If you add resistance to the circuit the bulb will shine with a fainter light ... the higher the resistance is the fainter it will shine
How much volts does a small light bulb need to be powered?
110 volts is what comes out of an average wall socket in America. A 100-watt bulb would be powered by 110 volts. You need to be more specific in your question to get a good answer. Small can't be measured.
How do you wire a high watt light to a battery?
Need more information. Wattage of bulb, voltage of bulb, voltage of battery and wire size of the circuit.
Will a higher wattage hps bulb work in a ballast that came with a lower wattage bulb?
A higher wattage HPS bulb may work with a ballast that is rated for a lower wattage bulb , but may appear to be dim and will not produce the rated light output. It is best to match ballast and bulb accordingly.
What are the wattage requirements for outdoor string lights?
The wattage will depend upon the type of bulb and the number of lights on the string. It will tell you on the package what each bulb requires in wattage, so you only need to multiply that by the number of bulbs in the string. so, number of bulbs x wattage requirement for each bulb = wattage requirement.
What kind of light bulb does a easy bake need?
You would have to check the manual. It may even be embossed on it. The light bulb is usually a standard 100watt. But because there are so many models it may require more or less wattage.
WHAT IS THE LOWEST VOLTAGE NEED TO LIGHT A LIGHT BULB?
A light bulb is manufactured to operate on a specific voltage. The voltage can be a low as needed and the manufacturer will compute the size of the filament that is needed for a specific wattage. If you are referring to a threshold voltage then that is another question that needs to be asked.
What wattage of bulb do you need to fit in a socket that has 120volts?
120 volts is a standard voltage in US for normal house hold electric outlet. , So you can buy from 0 watts to 1000 watts for 120Volts socket . However the bulb you want to buy depend on the Lamp holder , rating of the socket and where the holder is installed, how much light you need etc . Check the max Watts rating on your socket or Lamp and determine the correct Wattage bulb to use. No one can tell you what wattage bulb to use with out looking at your socket or Lamp. The formula for Watts = Volts x Amps Check out the low wattage Compact Fluorescent Light Bulbs which will consume very low engergy and save money in a long run http://www.energystar.gov/index.cfm?c=cfls.pr_cfls
I have a 120V bulb and want to replace it with a compact fluorescent bulb. Is there an equivalent?
You need to look at the bulbs' light-output equivalents rather than voltages. Neither voltage nor wattage is a measure of light output; nearly all household bulbs in North America operate on 120 volts regardless of how much light they produce, and different types of bulbs produce different amounts of light despite having the same wattage rating. Both incandescent and CFL bulbs should be marked with their light output, usually in lumens. Try to pick a CFL whose light output is as close as possible to the incandescent bulb you're replacing.
What is the typical wattage of tanning bed bulbs?
The typical wattage of a tanning bed bulb is 100W, but you need to check the size of the bed to make sure.
When you need to use metal halide conversion bulb?
When you want to use a MH bulb in an HPS ballast you must use a conversion bulb. It must be the same wattage as the HPS bulb
What could you do to a closed circuit consistenting of a battery a light bulb and a switch that increase the amount of current?
To increase the current you either need to reduce the resistance of the load or increase the voltage. Typically a higher wattage light bulb will decrease resistance or you could put multiple batteries in series.
Can you use a smaller watt bulb in a bigger fixture will it run at bulb watt or fixture watt?
Yes, because the "higher" watt energy saver bulb (cfl) is actually a lower watt bulb than a standard (incandescent). Always look at the actual watts, not the 'light equivalent watts'. 11 watt low energy tube = 60 watts of old-fashioned light. More light, less heat!
