can anybody tell me how to interface bulb with microcontroller? 8051 give only 5V dc at its output so how i can on bulb with this?
 

You can do this quite easily with a relay. Select an output pin on your micro. Connect this to the base terminal of a suitable transistor, and make the relay coil the load for the transistor. The bulb can be controlled via the relay contacts.

Alternately you can use an opto-coupler between the micro and the relay.
 

ok i have searched on net. There are many types of relays can you please tell me which kind of relay should i use? Please send me some detail of it as i have not use relays before and are they easily available?

Added after 33 minutes:

thank you for giving me the basic idea. Through search i found an interface circuit of relay with 8051 this will help others.
