If it is an incandescent light bulb (Gives off heat too hot to touch) it consumes 60 Watts when on and 0 watts when Off. When on it draws about 1/2 amp at 120 VAC.
You can't get a wart from a hot 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.
No. A light bulb is a bulb that contains a filament that gets hot when electric current is passed through it.
To keep chicken eggs warm, such as in a home incubator, you wouldn't want to use a bulb with too many watts because it could make it too hot. The standard would be to use a 40 watt bulb.

An incandescent bulb.
In an incandescent light bulb this is the filament. It is usually made of tungsten.
Depends how long you leave it on for....
light bulbs are hot because the coils spread heat around the bulb.
In simple terms, the current passes through the tungsten filament present in the bulb which causes it to heat instantaneously into red hot to white hot and hence light energy emits.
