You just have to divide the watts by the voltage to find the amps. For example 60 watts on a 120 v system would take ½ amp.

∙ 9y agoThat it dissipates (i.e. uses up) 60 watts of electric power when in use. Since standard line voltage is roughly 120 volts, it draws roughly 0.5 amperes of current when in use.
Note: CFL & LED lightbulbs have 2 ratings "equivalent" and "actual"; the "equivalent" is actually a measure of light output not power and tell the wattage of the incandescent lightbulb it is intended to replace, the "actual" is the actual wattage the bulb dissipates.

∙ 9y agoAssuming that the voltage is 120 Volts and each 60 Watt light bulb draws 500 mA., then you could have as many as 40 bulbs on a 20 Amp circuit.
You can use Ohm's law to calculate the number by using the formula W= E times I, or Watts = Volts times current.

A 120 v 60 w lamp takes ½ amp, while a 240 v 60 w lamp takes ¼ amp

Can i use a 60w led instead of a 60w incandescent bulb in an outside post lamp?
You could but it would be extremely bright! An incandescent lamp of 60 watt is about 800 lumens And so a 10 watt LED lamp should be plenty big enough. If you want as much light as possible instead of energy saving then you can fit bigger wattage LED lamps. Also, because they run a lot cooler, you can often exceed the maximum (Incandescent) rating for the fitting.
Is there a danger of using higher watt compact fluorescent bulbs in a lamp for example 100 watt equivalent vs 60 watt equivalent?
Not in the least, and you will still save money. A 100W equivalent will use only 20 to 25 watts, well below the 60W rating of your fixture. Much of the 60W used by the incandecent bulb is dissipated in heat. This is where the danger in over-watting fixtures lies.
What makes a light bulb hot?
Actually The filament of a light bulb can get up to about 810.5 degrees Celsius. Also it was invented in 1352 by a dinosaur named Ronald McDonald. It is his birthday today! I bought him a hot DOG!
How do you replace the headlights on a 1997 Toyota Camry?
Hello all...I have just recently replaced all the dash/instrument lights in my '92 previa GL..the instrument cluster has 4 retaining screws to remove ( after you take off the heater/radio surround and the cowling over the intrument cluster) and then you gently pull the whole unit toward the steering wheel, be careful as it is attached to a steel wire underneath, so that you don't pull all the wires out of the back !!Reach behind or get out and have a look through the screen and you will find 3 large, 1/4 turn, bulb holders. A gentle twist and pull out reveals a D501 pattern bulb...I have replaced mine with BLUE NEON ones from Halfords ( �6.99 a pair ) and they look absolutely wicked.I then went on to replace the heater, cigar lighter and ashtray bulbs with blue 'pea' led's ( they work one way round and not the other...trial and error but you can't blow the bulbs..).The only ones that I haven't been able to source in blue yet are the real tiny ones that fit in the various switches...I'll post again once I find some or solve the problem in some other way.If anyone knows where I might get some...? Please let me know.
How much CO2 is emitted per breath?
An average adult breathes about 0.5 L of air per breath at rest. Normal air contains ~ 0.03 % of CO2 which gets enriched to 4 % of exhaled air. The difference, 3.97 % is what you exhaled. One mole of air at room temperature have a volume of ~22.4 L (use ideal gas equation p*V=n*R*T, p=pressure [bar], V=volume, n=amount in mole, R=ideal gas constant, T=temperature [Kelvin]). 1 mole CO2 is equivalent to 44 g. So, 0.5 L*(1 mole /22.4 L)*(44 g / mole) = 0.982 g One breath therefore contains ~ 1 g of exhaled CO2 Note: Some of the gases are not ideal (mostly CO2), the volume of one breath depends on the person (sex, age, fitness, size) and the activity. It can be up to 2 L at least. But it is just an approximation anyways. Btw - 1 kWh of electricity cost about 600 g of CO2. An average light bulb of 60 W therefore gives rise to the production of 10 g CO2 / s during use (not counting its production or disposal). ******************************************************************* If one breath is 4% CO2 and 1 breath is 0.5 liter, Mass of CO2 = 0.04*0.5 L* (1/22.4) mol/liter* 44 g/mol * (273 K/310 K) = 0.035 g/breath, not 1 g/breath. Body temp is 37 oC = 310 K, but that's a minor point. If 1kWh results in 600 g of CO2, 60 Watts leads to 60W*600 g/kWH *(1/3600) h/sec *(1/1000) kw/W= .01 grams/second of CO2 not 10 g/sec. Otherwise people may feel guilty about breathing. **************************************************************** some serious problems with the decimal place in the original answer. atmospheric content co2 is roughly 350 PPM or .00035, less than the original answer by several orders of magnitude. maybe that's why all the histeria about global warming, smoking in the boys room during middle school math....
How much CO2 does a 60w light bulb exert?
10,000,000,000,000.000
How much time would a 60w light bulb to run out of light?
The average lifetime of an incandescent bulb is around 2000 hours.
How many amperes does a standard 60 watt light bulb use?
Watts = Volts X Amps. Amps=Watt / Volts. So, with a 240V mains, a 60W bulb draws 0.25amps. On a 12 system (car/auto) a 60W bulb draws 5 amps. On a 110V mains, a 60W bulb draws .55 Amps.
What watt light bulb for chicks?
60W should be sufficient. It really depends on the construction of the brooder.
How many kilowatts does a light bulb use?
Thsi depends on the light bulb specification. For example if you buy a standard 60W light bulb from your supmarket then this will consume 0.06kilowatts. Its simple just divide the wattage stated on the light bulb by 1000 to give you the kilowatts
What does the w of 60w on a light bulb mean?
The w means watt. It is a unit of measurement that quantifies the energy given off by the globe when it is switched on.
What is 60w light bulb?
a normal incandescent 60 watt light bulb uses 60 watts of electricity to produce 20 watts worth of light, and 40 watts worth of heat. It is more of a heat bulb than a light bulb. it is great if you can capitalise on the free heat, but if it is not cold in your house, turn it off. is there a better bulb? no. why are they ideal? cheap (as low as 10 cents for the el cheapos), never change shape/design/size/compatability, make pleasant light I could go on for an hour, but the best bulb is the cheapest.
What is the lumen output of a 60W incandescent bulb?
The output of bulbs varies. A typical output of a 60W incandescent bulb is 680 lumens.
How much energy does a 60 watt bulb use per hour?
A 60W bulb will use 60W X 1 hour / 1000. this will give you the KWh - the units your electricity company uses to charge you.So 60 X 1 =6060/1000 =0.060 Kwh
What is the percent efficiency of a 60W light bulb that produces 6W of light energy?
If you're using it to generate light, 10 percent efficient. If you're using it to generate heat, 90 percent efficient.
Is 110w bulb is or not?
There are 60W, 75W, 100W, and 150W bulbs. No standard 110W.
What happens to a light bulb when put in series with a inductor?
When you put a light bulb in series with a inductor, the inductive reactance of the inductor reduces the current available to the light bulb, making it less bright. For this effect to be noticed, however, you need a very large inductor. To cut the current in a 60W bulb at 120VAC/60Hz by one half, for instance, you need an inductor around 0.6 henrys.
