Yes, you can use a 250 watt bulb with a 15 amp switch. The switch is rated for up to 15 amps, which is more than enough to handle the power of a 250 watt bulb. Just make sure that the wiring and other components in the circuit can also handle the load.

Can a twin 300 watt speaker destroy a 250 amp?

I am not a sound man but an electrician. But as I understand it, speakers only receive power. So if you connect 300 watt speakers to a 250 watt amp, you can only get 250 watts out of the speakers. If this understanding is correct, this could not blow your amp. I might say, however, that in most things electrical, they are not intended to be used at maximum output for very long. So if this understanding stays true with sound equipment, then running your 250 watt amp at maximum output in an attempt to get 300 watts out of it, this could shorten the life of your amp even though you never actually overload it.

How many 60 watt bulbs can a 15 amp handle?

A 15 amp circuit can handle approximately 8-10 60 watt bulbs. Each 60 watt bulb draws 0.5 amps of current, so you divide the circuit's amp rating (15 amps) by the current draw per bulb (0.5 amps) to get the approximate number of bulbs it can handle.

Can a 200 watt amp power a 250 watt rms sub?

YES! it won't reach it's peak, but that's also probably a good thing, cause it'll be harder to blow your sub. i prefer to buy either the exact watt match for my subs and amp, or buy the next lower watt amp from my subs

What size circuit breaker is needed for a 300 watt bulb?

A 300 watt bulb requires a circuit breaker of at least 2.5 amps. This can be determined by dividing the power (300 watts) by the voltage (120 volts). However, considering normal breaker sizes, a 5 amp breaker would be sufficient for a 300 watt bulb.
