For safety a circuit should not be operated at over 80 percent of capacity. In this case that would be 12 amps. At 120 vac that would allow about 1450 watts. So although a 15 amp breaker could theoretically power 18 100 watt lamps, in practice you should limit the number to 14 or fewer. I would personally not exceed 12.

∙ 14y agoAssuming 120 VAC service, a 60 Watt incandescent bulb draws about .5 amps. You want to only be at 80% capacity for your 15A circuit or 12 A. Hence, the answer would be 24. However, if it is likely that someone might put in a larger wattage bulb at some point you would have to account for that.

How many 60 watt light bulbs can be powered by 1000 MeV?
None at all.
How many amps do light bulbs draw?
Depend on watt and voltage use of light bulbs. You can use this ohm's law formular to calculate the current draw on light bulbs. I (current in amp) = P (watt)/ E (voltage) If 25W light bulb use in 115V AC (resident home) then current draw will be: 25/115 = 0.22A or 22 miliamperes. Hope this help.
How many 100 watt light bulbs can a wind turbine light if it produces 200kW of electricity?
if it works at the nominal power of 200kW (i.e. there's enough wind!), it's simply 200000/100=2000 light bulbs

Where do you find a watt?
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.
