Questions about tubes and gear that glows. FAQ

No, I believe it's the heat in watts that is important.

For instance, take a 40 watt light bulb.

At 120VAC, you'd need 0.33 amps of current. Where:

Watt (work or heat) = (voltage) times (current). Or

Current = watts/voltage. 40/120.



If you only had 80 volts, you'd need:

40/80 = 0.5 amps to have the bulb produce 40 watts of light.
