Can a radio play with a low wattage bulb?
If the bulb’s wattage is too low, it will light brightly even if your radio has no problems, and your radio won’t play at all. We’ll demonstrate this in an example below. Your radio should play normally without fully lighting a bulb that is roughly 1.5 to 2 times the radio’s stated wattage.
