As much as your mother weighs
LEDs are moderately efficient; the average commercial SSL currently outputs 32 lumens per watt (lm/W), and new technologies promise to deliver up to 80 lm/W.
A 32 watt bulb uses 32 watt-hours, or 0.032 kWh, every hour it is used.
NO Incandescents produce 10 lumens per watt, halogens about 13 lumens per watt, fluorescents and LEDs 40-50 lumens per watt. Lumens measure the brightness, watts measure the speed at which electrical energy is used.

Yes, these lamps can be interchanged.

To find kWh a time frame has to be given. That is what the h in kWh stands for.
If it is a 120volt light, then it is watts / volts. 32 watts / 120 = .2667 amps. <<>> fluorescent lights usually have a power factor around 0.6 so a 32 watt bulb would take around 32/(120 x 0.6) amps or 0.44 amps.
Not as bright as normal light bulbs (higher watts though)
Where in the world are you finding 100 watt CFLs? 32-35 watts is about where those things top out, which is a pretty bright light, the equivalent of about 150 watts incandescent. Or -- perhaps you mean 23 watt CFLs or something, which have about a 100-watt equivalent when compared with incandescents. At least at the beginning of their life they do. So if that's the case then eight 400-watt halogens can be changed out with sixteen 23-watt fluorescents, which will end up at about half the brightness, and have a greenish / bluish tinge to the light over time. You may want to splurge and get 32 watt bulbs, which will look like roughly 150 watts of incandescent light. One of the really cool things about using CF is less heat in the summertime, so the A/C doesn't have to work as hard. what is what Wat is what misspelled.
Yes, the wattage is just the power consumption. A 30 watt Fluorescent will give more or less the same light as a incandescent bulb or 60 watts, which is the limit for your fixture for incandescent bulbs.
