Best Answer

Very quickly, less than 1/10 second. Incandescent bulbs produce only about 10 lumens per watt of power, with the halogen type producing abiut 1 lumens/watt.

Low-energy bulbs and LEDs produce about 50-60 lumens per watt.

How is light generator made?

This is an AC electric generator which lights up a tiny incandescent light bulb. The generator is made from a hollow-ended cardboard box with a nail through the center. The box has many turns of varnished thin copper wire wound around, with four large magnets clamped around the nail. When the nail and magnets are spun fast by hand, the little light bulb lights up dimly.
