Line voltage in the United States is 120 volts however lamps are often manufactured at 130 volts to increase lamp life and to offer protection against power surges. Please note you may use a 130-volt lamp in a 120-volt socket without issue but you will sacrifice some light output. Rule of thumb: a 130-volt lamp may last up to twice as long but can be up to 15% dimmer than a 120-volt lamp

Simply put, they are all the same. The actual voltage is typically between 117 volts and 124 volts; 110, 115, and 120 (and 220, 230, and 240) are just names that come out of history. See similar questions...

No, if you wire a 240 volt heater to a 120 volt circuit, you will only get about ¼ the wattage the heater was designed to deliver. See similar questions...

If your wiring already exists, you need to check the voltage of your electrical circuit and install the matching heaters. Both types of heater operate with the same output and use the same amount of electricity for any given amount of time. 240 volt heaters require double pole breakers, and 120 volt heaters require single pole breakers. See chart below: See similar questions...

Electricity is calculated on kilowatt hours, not by voltage. For example: a 1500, 120 volt heater will cost the same to run as a 1500 watt, 240 volt heater for the same amount of time. The difference is in the amperage. A 120 volt heater will draw twice as many amps as a 240 volt heater; so fewer 120 volt heaters can be run on the same circuit. See similar questions...

To determine what your power requirements are, look for the nameplate on the bottom or back of your product. It will tell you how much power and the voltage your product requires to operate. All equipment sold in Canada must bear this nameplate. watt light bulbs, the lights require 600 watts of power to operate ? you would need to order an 800 watt outlet. Click here for a list of basic 120 volt equipment brought to show site and their approximate power usage. See similar questions...

You may connect multiple items to a 120 volt duplex outlet providing the wattage does not exceed 800 watts (6 amps) on the 800 watt outlet and 1500 watts (12 amps) on the 1500 watt outlet. You may use an approved 3-wire grounded power bar, listed by a nationally recognized testing laboratory (i.e. CSA). See similar questions...

Thomas Edison [no kidding] invented the electric light bulb, and needed to distribute electricity to make it usable. He built a system based on 110 volts DC. It was uneconomical and had large conductors and big voltage drops. George Westinghouse came up with the idea of using alternating current to transmit electricity. See similar questions...

Depending on the length of direct contact, a 100,000 volt stun gun will cause pain, muscle contractions, disorientation and loss of balance. They work well enough to repel the attacker and escape, which is the goal. A 100,000 volt stun gun may not necessarily take an attacker down and leave him immobilized. The higher powered stun guns (300,000 volts and higher) have more effective take-down power. See similar questions...

All of the models are available in 220 volt for those countries that require it. We have shipped to many countries outside of the US and Canada. These are normally shipped via FedEx International Economy. They guarantee that delivery will occur within a week of shpment, but if space is available on earlier flights it will arrive sooner. For example, a recent shipment to Germany was delivered in 3 days from the date of order. See similar questions...

Medium format film (120) is not typically used by casual photographers any longer. It is strictly the realm of professionals and crazy hobbyists who use cameras like the Holga. However that does not mean that it is rare by any means. Many of the finest and most expensive professional cameras being produced use 120 film because you can get better quality enlargements from faster film from the larger negative (or slide).
