Actually, your wrong. Sure, the lighting ithat is set for proper illumination is 60watts, but if anyone is used to using a dimmer, you can dial down the power consumption for a typical incandescent bulb and it will still light. And as expected, the light level will decrease as you lower the dimmer setting as well.

The power rating of a light bulb is measured in watts (W), which represents the amount of electrical energy it consumes per unit of time. If a light bulb has a power rating of 60 watts (for example), it means it consumes 60 watt-hours of energy in one hour of operation.
It takes 60 watt-hours. Same as lighting a 1-watt bulb for 60 hours; or 60 bulbs of 1 watt each for 1 hour. You get the idea.Notice the units: watt-hours, not watts. Watt is a unit of power, watt-hour is a unit of energy. 1 watt-hour = 0.001 kWh (kilowatt-hour) = 3600 joules = 860 calories = 3.4 BTU.
A Watt is a Joule per second. Joules measure energy and Watts measure power, which is the rate of energy used. Therefore, if you use a 60 Watt light bulb for 10 seconds, you consume 600 Joules.
A 100-watt light bulb consumes 100 watts of energy in one hour, as power is the rate at which energy is consumed. Therefore, it will take one hour for a 100-watt light bulb to consume 100 watt-hours of energy.
Typical home energy cost is 10 cents per kilowatt hour A 60 watt bulb running for one hour uses 60 watt hours .10 X (60/1000) = .006 cents per hour 16.66 60watt bulbs on for one hour would cost 10 cents.
A 150 watt light bulb consumes 150 watts of energy per hour when it is turned on.

The power rating of a light bulb is measured in watts (W), which represents the amount of electrical energy it consumes per unit of time. If a light bulb has a power rating of 60 watts (for example), it means it consumes 60 watt-hours of energy in one hour of operation.
Power = Energy/time 100W=Energy/360 Seconds Energy = 100/360 Energy ≈ 0.27 Joules
Simple 10,000 hours cause it completes 1 unit in 10 hours.....

The average home fluorescent lamp consumes 40W of power. Running for one hour it will consume 0.04 KWh. Units of electricity are charged per Kilowatt hour.

electircal or photo electrical energy. Photons are shot across from panel to another panel this sparking back and forth creates the light you see.Answer: Electricity is the energy input into a light bulb. It either heats afilamanet to produce heat and light, r excites the gas contained in the bulb (in flluorescent tube) to emit visible light directly or emit UV light which interacts with a phosphor coating in the tubes to emit light.
A 100-watt light bulb consumes 100 watts of energy in one hour, as power is the rate at which energy is consumed. Therefore, it will take one hour for a 100-watt light bulb to consume 100 watt-hours of energy.
An electrical watt is a measure of power. A 40 watt light bulb uses 40 watts of electrical power. It has a relative measure of twice the light output of a 20 watt bulb and one half the output of an 80 watt bulb. A 40 watt bulb uses 40 Joules of energy each second, or 40 watt-hours of energy each hour. In 1000 hours it uses 40 kilowatt-hours or Units of electrical energy.
