Any electrical device "raises your electric bill", but only when it is activated. (only when you turn on the switch)
A 100 watt bulb, left on for 10 hours uses 1 KW-hr.
A 10 watt bulb left on for 100 hours uses 1 KW-hr.
It becomes relatively simple to understand that if the power company charges you a set price (for example $0.15/KW-Hr) the 10 watt bulb would raise your electric bill much more slowly than would the 100 watt bulb.

How does energy saver AC help your electric bill?
Saving energy means you use less energy from the company that supplies your electricity. Hence your bill will be less. You are charged in Watt Hours. If you turn on an incandescent 100 Watt bulb for an hour the electric company will charge you about 12 cents. If you use an LED bulb which gives the same light and only consumes 20 Watts, it only costs about 2.4 cents per hour.
How much does it cost to run a 7 watt bulb non-stop for a month?
Approximately 5 kilowatt hours. Check your electric bill to see what you are charged per kilowatt hour.
Can A 70 watt metal halide bulb be replaced with A 150 watt halide bulb?
No. A 70 Watt metal halide bulb can not be replaced with a 150 Watt halide bulb.
How many lux in a 1000 watt bulb?
Incandescent bulbs give about 10 lumens of light per watt of electric power Halogens give about 13 lumens per watt CFLs give about 50 lumens per watt So it depends on the type of bulb.
Can you mix incandescent bulb with halogen bulb in same light fitting?
Yes, the halogen bulb would provide about 30% more brightness (lumens) for the same electric power rating. So 70 watt halogen is about equal to 90-100 watt incandescent.

No. A 70 Watt metal halide bulb can not be replaced with a 150 Watt halide bulb.
Does electric cooktop use the same amount of power no matter how high and how low you turn the controller?
NO. The amount of electric energy consumed varies depending on how high or low the setting is. Low setting will use less electric than high setting just as a 100 watt bulb uses less electric than a 200 watt bulb.

Can I use a 60 watt bulb in a 75 watt bulb ceiling fan?
Yes.
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.
How come a 60 watt light bulb has a higer temperature than a 40 watt light bulb?
The electric power measured in watts is used to heat a filament in the light bulb (which glows because it is very hot). More energy gives more heat. It's very simple.
Can an 18 watt bulb be used in low voltage outdoor lighting?
If it is an 18 watt 12 volt bulb, then yes. But an 18 watt 120 volt bulb - then no.
