I know of a 100 watt lightbulb that was left on overnight and exploded in the morning.
Does anyone know how long one should take to explode?

Never.
Only problem is if the bulb is enclosed in a fitting of lower wattage rating.
A lightbulb should not explode under normal circumstances.Quote:

What sort of fitting would you use for a 150w bulb?
Some sort of thing that is 100% metal?
A fraction of a second. :wink:Quote:

Depends on the application, is this an outdoor light ? If so what is it lighting up? Need a little more info to help out.Quote:
