The Wattage of a bulb tell you how much power (energy per second) you put into it. The energy will come out mostly as heat but obviously also light.
The wavelength has the units of length and tells you what type and color of light it generates. The energy in each particle (photon) of light is dependent on the wavelength but the total power input isn't directly related. You can have both high and low input power infra red (long wavelength) and Ultraviolet (short wavelength) lamps.

How do you determine the amps for a halogen lamp?
You can determine the amps of any power consuming source by dividing the watts by the volts. Example: If the bulb is 60 watts and your volts are 120, then 60/120 = .5 amps. Or you could use an amp probe.
Does a lighting fixture use watts or is it the bulb that uses watts because my fixture says 660 watts but the CFL bulb is only 23 watts?
The watts determine how much energy is taken and how much heat is produced. You need to look at the lumens to see how much light is produced. CFLs produce 4-5 times more lumens than incandescent bulbs, or 3-4 times more than halogens, for the same power in watts.

Is a watt a light bulb?
A 60 watt light bulb is a light bulb with 60 watts capacity. When talking about watts, you're talking about the power that is transferred from the appliance to the accessories. Therefore, the light bulb labeled "60 watts" takes 60 watts to light up. A 60 watt light bulb will not be as bright as a 120 watt light bulb.
