Can someone explain what is the Voltage parameter on the lamp means???

I believe it is the default amount of voltage that the lamp will draw from a perfectly balanced and zeroed out circuit. Sorry if i didn't use the correct terms, i don't do this stuff regularly enough to remember them.

It means that havong 1W and 2volt as lamp parameter, when you power it using 2V will flow 1/2 A (500mA). If you power it with only 1V generator, will flow half current 500mA/2 = 250mA

At the moment it is a 2 Volt rated lamp, it you want it give its best output and have the best life for the bulb, apply 2 volts DC to it. A 2 Volt lamp is often fitted to a torch with 2 X 1.5 Volt batteries (IE 3 Volts), this gives a far better light output but reduces the lamps life to hundreds of hours instead of the expected thousands of hours the lamp would have if only 2Volts were to be used. Adjust the voltage and see the brilliance change.

for everycircuit, it's just a shining resistor. by means of voltage and power you determine its resistance and operating limits. in reality the bulbs are not linear, their behavior depends on the temperature of the filament.
