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.
"A standard light bulb I would consider to be a 60 watt light bulb, and kilowatts are the amount of usage in a light bulb. From my research I have found that a standard 60 watt light bulb uses approximately 1.44 Kilowatts per hour."
An incandescent bulb is 96% efficient as a heater, and 4% efficient as a source of light. A fluorescent bulb is only 60% efficient as a heater, and 40% efficient as a source of light. An LED bulb is only 10-20% efficient as a heater, and 80-90% efficient as a source of light (but that light is usually unidirectionally directed... harder to do diffuse lighting with them).
What are the uses of Heat energy
Also CFL and LED light bulbs use much less actual wattage than their equivalent wattage. It is best to look at the datasheet for each individual type of light bulb. They can vary from milliwatts to kilowatts, depending on the purpose the light bulb was intended for.
This depends on the type of bulb and it's efficiency. Incandescent bulbs produce 700-900 lumens at 60 watts.

Depends on the bulbs efficiency. The ones I've gotten in the past few years are between 700-800 lumens. Check the packaging, it should state.
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.

Yes, a 103 volt source will light a 60 watt light bulb. The relationship of the bulb's wattage output at a lower voltage, as to the normal voltage that the bulb is rated to operate on, the light output will be lower.
The 100 watt lumen-equivalent bulbs use 20 watts. The 60 watt lumen-equivalent bulbs use 16 watts.

There is no direct conversion for this, because these are two separate things. Watts is actual power usage. "Lumens" is how much light is provided from a specified amount of power. The typical light bulb converts some of the electricity driven through it into light, and the rest into heat. The more efficient the light bulb, the less power per lumen will be required.That is why newer bulbs can be purchased that are 13 watts and advertised as equivalent to 60 watt incandescent bulbs - the light output is roughly equivalent (lumens), but the power usage is substantially different.
Apples and oranges. The led quantity, quality and effeciency make all the difference. As far as a 60 volt bulb... How many WATTS?
Providing the lamp is operating at its rated voltage, a 60-W lamp will require 60 W. Thought that should be self-evident!
