Without knowing the voltage, I can not tell you how many amps a 60 watt light uses.
If you have a 12 volt system in a car, then a 60 watt light will pull 5 amps.
If you have a 120 volt system in a house, then a 60 watt light will pull 1/2 amp.
If you have a 240 volt system in an industrial building, then a 60 watt light will pull 1/4 amp.
I = W/E. Divide watts by volts. Since household wiring is basically 110 volts.

About 1/2 amp.
The simple way to do this is to divide the RATED wattage by the RATED voltage (120v in most cases). Then if your actual voltage is lower than 120v, your amps will be slightly below 1/2 amp. If your actual voltage is higher than 120v, your amps will be slightly higher than 1/2 amp. At 110v you get about .46 amps.
<> UK answer: the current on a 240 v supply is ¼ amp for a 60 watt bulb.
Amps are measured at an instant of time. At 120 VAC the 60 W bulb is drawing 1/2 amp. The bulb is using 60 watt-hours of power. per hour.
.5 amps With 120 volts
A 65 Watt incandescent light bulb should draw 65W/120V = 541.67mA
draw 0.104 amps
1/2 amp.
1 amp
figure out how many amps are in a watt and x by 40
A 65 Watt incandescent light bulb should draw 65W/120V = 541.67mA
draw 0.104 amps
It is drawing .06 amps.
1/2 amp.
1 amp
A 50 watt bulb designed to run on 12 volts takes 4.17 amps. A 50 watt bulb designed to run on 230 volts takes 0.217 amps.
figure out how many amps are in a watt and x by 40
A 120 volt table lamp with a 75 watt bulb will pull 0.625 amps. With a 100 watt bulb it will pull 0.833 amps. And with a modern fluorescent 13 watt bulb it will pull 0.108 amps.
Watts = Volts x Amps x Power Factor. An incandescent light bulb is a resistive load so PF = 1. ANSWER: = 1/2 Amp
It's 75/120 and the answer is in amps.
The amps drawn by a 65 watt light bulb should be 65/120 or 0.54167. This fraction of an ampere may be restated as 541.67 milli-amps.
it draws 210 amps
