That depends on the type of bulb AND on it's power usage. An old incandescent bulb of 100 watts uses about an amp, a 60 watt uses about a half amp. But a florescent bulb putting out the same light would consume about half the current, and a LED bulb would use less than half that.

How does light from cfl bulb compare?
When you compare a CFL (Compact Fluorescent Lamp) bulb to an LED bulb, the CFL bulb has a shorter lifespan. The CFL bulb also uses more electricity for the same brightness Also a CFL lasts longer and uses less electricity (for the same brightness) than an incandescent bulb.
What provides energy to a light bulb?
A light bulb uses electricity as its source of energy.A light bulb to uses electrical energy which is supplied to a resistor that gives off heat as well as light. The resistor is a thin coiled piece of wire made of Tungsten because it has the highest melting point of any metal.For more information see the answer to the Related question shown below.
What type of light is a light bulb that uses a filament?
A light bulb that uses a filament is also known as an incandescent light bulb.
How does an 25w compact fluorescent bulb provides the same amount of light as a 100w filament bulb but use less electricity?
It uses modern technology to give better efficiency. A filament bulb has an incandescent (hot) piece of tungsten wire, which produces light but also heat. A fluorescent bulb uses a different process to produce more light and less heat.
