Incandescent light bulbs typically operate at a voltage of around 120 volts in regions with a standard household voltage of 120V AC (alternating current), such as in the United States and parts of North America. In regions with a standard household voltage of 230V AC, such as in many European countries, incandescent bulbs would operate at around 230 volts.
It's important to note that incandescent light bulbs are being phased out in many parts of the world due to their energy inefficiency. LED (light-emitting diode) and CFL (compact fluorescent lamp) bulbs are more energy-efficient alternatives that have become increasingly popular. These newer bulb types also come in various voltage requirements, depending on the design and intended use.
