Would two 50w bulbs flashing alternately for an hour use the same power as one 50w bulb on constantly for an hour?
Probably not. It would depend on several factors. I would expect that the filament resistance is somewhat dependent on temperature. So if you had a longer duty cycle between switching events the filament would cool down more and perhaps have less resistance. Theoretically if you had a temperature controlled resistance and could do perfect switching then you could probably get it to where the power usage was the same.

How many fluorescent bulbs would you need to replace all the incandescent bulbs currently in use?
not all incandescent lamps (bulbs) can be replaced by fluorescent lamps because there are some applications where there is no acceptable or equivalent fluorescent lamp. In some cases, other technologies may be useful--HID or LED lamps. There are some applications where the incandescent source, especially the tungsten-halogen type, still rules.
Does it cost more to run four equals 25watt bulbs than one 100 watt bulb?
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.

How many 75 watt bulbs can be placed on track lighting with 20 amp breaker?
Theoretically a 75 watt bulb at 120 volts draws .625 amps. You would add the individual currents to determine maximum amperage. That would be 32 bulbs. However, you would then be right on the edge and breaker would likely trip often. You should de-rate to 80% of the breaker rating or 16 amps in this case. That would be 25 bulbs. You should also check to see if there is a maximum amperage or wattage rating on the track. Twenty Five bulbs will create quite a heat source.

Check the bulbs first. This is usually an indication of a bad bulb. If all the bulbs light, turn on the headlights and check again. The bulb that won't light has no ground connection. With the headlights off, the circuit was completed through the headlight. The turn signal switch might also be bad. But the flasher is good, since it works on the left.
