Have a butterfly lamp with 5 new mini bulbs 120 volt requires 24 volt replacement bulbs for it? I do not follow? assuming you are because it says 120 volts and it has 5 locations bulb 120 divided by 5 is 24 volts per bulb? 120 volts is a way to measure the input power to a device. almost all standard devices in your house are wired for 120 volts. with the exception of the dryer / oven / ac ... thesis are wired 240 ... This basically means that there is an additional wire carrying power to the appliance (240 volts). standard devices (lamps, sockets, etc.) require a hot wire, neutral wire and ground (which is to provide 120 volts), 240 was generally two son hot, neutral and ground. all new lighting fixtures are required to provide consumers with a maximum power of their aircraft. If your device does not have more than one kind of etching or sticker stating id bring an old lamp or a bench in a specialty lighting store, or even Home Depot. success
ok, its wired like Christmas lights (older) ... Im sure you'll find that you'll simply have a bad bulb, if you already know that na. Ultimately all I can say is roughly the same as the above type, ie much less (than me). to come from somewhere, its possible that there is a short, resulting in consistantly one bulb burn out, thus gave everyone to stop smoking because they are wired "in series". you can not get around the fact that when one goes all do. maybe use less powerful bulbs (lower volts / watt), but up-id stock, and just replace Bad 1 each time. lack sorry for the misunderstanding, and perhaps aid
Go to detpo home, lighting stores, they have the bulbs you need
