Can we use this to power a light bulb in a science fair project?

It would have to be a 1.5 volt bulb from single battery flashlight or one like it.

Since it's only 1.5 volts, I rather doubt it. The six volt lantern batteries you can get a Lowes, Walmart, Home Depot sure could work. If you need 12 volts just hook up two in series.

No it is for 110V only and I would NOT!! waste my money they did not work I got the dusk to dawn light bulbs and they work great

I don't know. if the power supply on the LED lamp plugs into a regular outlet, I don't see why not

i'm sure you could if you find one small enough. i just used a clear christmas light bulb. you can only use up to 6 watts and the screw in part is really small. hope this helps..

I think it will work. The light is not very bright and can be adjusted. I returned the item already 'cause the wire broke off at the converter so cant test it for you. I used it to cast a glow on the wall.

Yes, you can use this item without trouble cause the bulbs are made thinking in 55 watts. Regards.

Yes, it can, bulbs that work will be Eiko Spiral Fluorescent Lamp (30W / 120V).

I don't know why you couldn't. One uses about the same energy as a 100 watt light bulb. You'll want to make sure you set them on something solid like a sheet of plywood not directly on the insulation as they do get warm.

I don't see why not since it's just a standard light socket. But I would still use one of those energy saving bulbs that has the equivalent brightness of a 100 watt incandescent bulb. For example, I'm using a 20 watt LUMAcoil bulb which is equivalent to a 75watt incandescent bulb.

I don't know what kind of light you have in mind, but the typical household light switch for lighting circuits is rated at equal, if not less amps, usually 15-20 amps. Unless you are using it for some higher output lamp, it should work fine. Remember, watts divided by volts equals amps. For instance, if you are operating a 75 watt bulb under a 120 volt circuit, you would determine the amps as 75/120 = .625 amps. If you are operating more than one bulb, be sure to add up all of the bulb wattages before you do the math. This switch is rated at 20 amps, so don't go over the rated amperage. The screw portion of the switch is right at 7/16 in. Be careful and good luck.

Yes, depending on how many amps it draws. If you have lights or other accessories you would have to go with a more substantial converter.

Yes, easily. This supplies up to 200 watts of power. LED Christmas lights only need 1-2 watts per string, and old-fashioned bulb Christmas lights use around 10 watts. Really, I would probably get a cheaper lower watt inverter for that, unless you have other stuff you might also want to plug-in.

I would think it will work just fine. Sounds like a cool project. I used it to frost a lantern glass to make a lamp shade out of it. Works great with a 100w bulb.

I think you can, i use it in a Lumatek Dimmable Ballast and it works fine, but i won't recommend to use it in less than 100%, it would consume the same power and will short the lifespan of the bulb.

I don't see why not, this is a dome light also and uses less power than the traditional bulb light.

I assume an LED bulb can be used. If you purchased the bulb in the US it will have a standard base and common US voltage rating. I use florescent bulbs in mine. They are almost as energy efficient as the LEDs and much cheaper.

Yes. Since it is operated by a 120v on-off switch you can use the compact fluorescent bulb.
