Yes, ordinary light bulbs are rated in terms of luminosity (which is generally understood as a measurement of brightness) AND voltage AND current. And physical size AND type of base (screw in, bayonet and which size?).There are many parameters that a light bulb can be rated by.

How to compare the brightness of the old light bulbs to the new energy effiecint bulbs?
Use a phone app like light meter which uses the camera to give a luminosity level.
What is a good word for light?
glow, beam, brightness, luminosity, daylight, illumination, radiance
How does the amount of magents and wire affect the brightness of a light bulb?
The brightness of a light bulb directly has no direct relationship with magnets and wire. The bulbs brightness is determined by the wattage of the bulb. The higher the wattage of the bulb the brighter the bulbs light output.
Do ordinary light bulbs provide fluorescent light?
No it does not
Does ordinary light bulbs provide fluorescent light?
no
Can you replace an ordinary light bulb with an LED?
Yes, you can replace ordinary light bulbs with an LED.
How are light bulbs measured?
Brightness of a light bulb depends on the power, current, resistance and size of the filament. Lumens is the unit of measurement for the brightness of a bulb. A bulb has more brightness if there is more power and current. Greater the resistance, less is the brightness.
What are the synonyms for glow?
Shine, Bright. Dark light, gleam, burn, splendour, brilliance, brightness, radiance, luminosity
What luminosity measure that different from what absolute visual magnitude measures?
1.Luminosity is the amount of light emitted from a certain light source whereas brightness is the amount of light manifested or received. 2.The area of illumination is inversely proportional to brightness whereas luminosity isn't. 3.Brightness is usually expressed in 'Lumens' whereas luminosity is expressed in candela per square meter (photometry).
What is luminosity in art and design?
The brightness of the pixel within the image on a scale of 0 to 255
What gas is used in ordinary light bulbs?
Usally Agron
Light bulbs in a series circuit have the same brightness?
If they have the same resistance they will. Kirchhoff's' Law.
