A watt is a measurement of electricity, usually pertaining to light. Light bulbs luminosity is graded by wattage, such as a 60 watt bulb, 100 watt bulb and so on. You would find a watt in a light bulb, to start.
There is no direct conversion between watts of incandescent bulbs and LED bulbs, as they are measured differently. However, on average, one 10-watt LED bulb is equivalent to an 80-watt incandescent bulb in terms of brightness. So, you would need 8 LED bulbs at 10 watts each to match the brightness of an 80-watt incandescent bulb.
You can replace a 60-watt incandescent bulb with a 15-watt fluorescent bulb. This is because fluorescent bulbs are typically four times more energy-efficient than incandescent bulbs.
Yes, it would cost more to run four 25-watt bulbs than one 100-watt bulb. The total wattage for four 25-watt bulbs is 100 watts, the same as one 100-watt bulb. However, the four bulbs would consume more energy overall due to the increased electrical resistance and potential inefficiencies of multiple bulbs.
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.
current consumtion of a bulb
As of 4-12-14 there is a 23 Watt screw in bulb supposedly equal to 100 Watt. It is likely there are higher watt bulbs in the flourescent screw in type available today.
3 bulb can be connected..............................

A single bulb is better if you can get it, it's simpler to use, but 23 watt bulbs are easier to find. Five 23 w bulbs totals 115 watts so they would be a little brighter.
A 15-watt fluorescent should produce about as much light as a 75-watt incandescent.
You can replace a 60-watt incandescent bulb with a 15-watt fluorescent bulb. This is because fluorescent bulbs are typically four times more energy-efficient than incandescent bulbs.
It isn't more, it is less if bulbs are of the same type.
Yes, it will be perfectly safe.
