∙ 8y agoYou need to understand the difference between power - as in watts - and energy - as in Watt hours. Watts/kiloWatts only tells you what it's doing at the moment, at that very instant. While Wh/kWh tell you the sum of what it's been doing over a certain time. 1 kW = 1000 w So 500 W / 1000 W = 0.5 kW As soon at the light is turned on, the lamp starts to use energy at the rate of 500 W = 0.5 kW. If you leave it on for 24 hours it will have used up 0.5 x 24 = 12 kWh

∙ 14y ago500 watt bulb run for 1 hour = 500 watt/hours or 0.5 kilowatt/hours
0.5 x 24 x 30 = 360 kilowatt/hours
360 x 0.09 = $32.40
