Without knowing the voltage, I can not tell you how many amps a 60 watt light uses.
If you have a 12 volt system in a car, then a 60 watt light will pull 5 amps.
If you have a 120 volt system in a house, then a 60 watt light will pull 1/2 amp.
If you have a 240 volt system in an industrial building, then a 60 watt light will pull 1/4 amp.

RafaI = W/E. Divide watts by volts. Since household wiring is basically 110 volts.

About 1/2 amp.
The simple way to do this is to divide the RATED wattage by the RATED voltage (120v in most cases). Then if your actual voltage is lower than 120v, your amps will be slightly below 1/2 amp. If your actual voltage is higher than 120v, your amps will be slightly higher than 1/2 amp. At 110v you get about .46 amps.
<> UK answer: the current on a 240 v supply is ¼ amp for a 60 watt bulb.

How many amps does a two-bulb 32 watt 48-inch fluorescent light draw?
Each 32-watt bulb in a 48-inch fluorescent light typically draws around 0.27 amps. Therefore, a two-bulb setup would draw approximately 0.54 amps in total.
How many amps would a 150 watt bulb draw in a 120v circuit?
1 amp
How many amps does 65 watt light bulb draw?
A 65-watt light bulb operating at 120 volts draws approximately 0.54 amps of current. You can calculate this by dividing the wattage (65 watts) by the voltage (120 volts) to get the amperage.
How do you work out how many amps a forty watt bulb uses?
To calculate the amperage of a 40-watt bulb, you need to use the formula: Amps = Watts / Volts. If the bulb operates at 120 volts (standard for US households), the amperage will be 0.33 amps (40 watts / 120 volts).
How many 60 watt bulbs can a 15 amp handle?
A 15 amp circuit can handle approximately 8-10 60 watt bulbs. Each 60 watt bulb draws 0.5 amps of current, so you divide the circuit's amp rating (15 amps) by the current draw per bulb (0.5 amps) to get the approximate number of bulbs it can handle.
