If the bulb's voltage rating is OK it will glow normally, If the mains voltage is 110V and the bulb is a 220v European one it will glow at half brilliance. If it is a 110V bulb and is taken to Europe it will burn out immediately

Outside porch lamp has no box just two wires coming in black wires are tied and don't connect to fixture just the white wires what is going on here?

You would have to provide more info to be certain what your problem is. Typically a black and white wire would connect to the two wires on the light fixture. The fixture should also be controlled by a switch that "breaks" the black (Hot Wire) to turn off the fixture. If you have a volt meter you can see if there is 120Volts between the black and white wires with switch on. If there is a single white wire going to fixture (Neutral), where is the "black wires tied" to. Maybe one of the black wires has broken off the fixture.


What if the new light fixture has 2 black wires and no white wire?

If the new light fixture has 2 black wires and no white wire, it likely means that the fixture is designed to be connected to a circuit where the white wire has been designated as the hot wire instead of the black wire. Make sure to double check the wiring and consult a professional if you are unsure.


How do you remove a light fixture but leave the wires behind?

First make sure there is no power to the fixture while you are working on it. After you remove the fixture you need to put one of those screw on plastic caps securely on each wire separately before turning the power back on. Do not touch them together or try to put them both in the same screw cap because you may start a fire.
