How many watts of electricity to light a 60 watt fluorescent light bulb?

Providing the lamp is operating at its rated voltage, a 60-W lamp will require 60 W. Thought that should be self-evident!

How much electricity needed for 100 watt compact fluorescent lamp?
The answer is simply100 Watts. The Wattage rating of electric light bulbs is just the amount of electricity they consume. So a 60 Watt bulb would take 60 Watts of electricity. In fact, if you could buy a 100 Watt CFL, it would have the light output equivalent to about eight 100 Watt conventional (incandescent) light bulbs.
What uses more electricity a light bulb or a toaster?
Light bulbs use 7-150 watts, a toaster uses 700-1200 watts.
Why does energy saver give more light than electric bulb of same volt?
First of all, it is not volts that counts, but watts. Watts indicate how much you will pay for your electricity bill. (watts, multiplied by the time you have it on, actually - watts is a unit of power.) Of course, you can't create energy from nothing. What really happens here is that the traditional incandescent light-bulb is extremely wasteful - 90% or 95% of the energy gets converted to heat. The fluorescent light wastes less, but there is still room for improvement.
What is the most economical incandescent bulb 10 watts or fluorescent lamp 10 watts and why?
the most economical is the incandescent bulb because the power of bulb is low only while the fluorescent lamp is low and additional the power of ballast from 10%-20% power consumed.but the fluorescent lamp is 5 times brightly the incandescent bulb.
Compact fluorescent lamps have made a lot of changes in the lighting sector it is also changed from a fluorescent lamp to compact fluorescent lamps but still it is dependent on the ballast Why?
A ballast is an electrical component used with a fluorescent bulb (or mercury vapor lamp or arc lamp) to conduct electricity at each end of the tube. Compact fluorescent light bulbs are dependent on ballast because they use a gas to create light. when the gas is excited by electricity, it emits invisible ultraviolet light that hits the white coating inside the fluorescent bulb. The coating changes the ultraviolet light into light you can see.
The light-producing element in a fluorescent bulb is the?
Light in fluorescent bulbs occurs when electricity excites the mercury vapor inside the tubular glass bulb.
How does a compact fluorescent light bulb work?
A fluorescent light bulb contains a gas which produces UV light when it comes in contact with electricity. Contrary to a normal light bulb this does not create any heat and is far more energy efficient.
How much does a light bulb change the temperature of a room?
Very little, but it is noticeable, with a bright light in a small room. A light bulb puts out between 9 watts (energy-saving fluorescent light bulb) to approximately 100 watts (bright incandescent light bulb). Your average bar-heater, for comparison, puts out about between 1200-2400 watts.

What uses more electricity a light bulb or a toaster?
Light bulbs use 7-150 watts, a toaster uses 700-1200 watts.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of a fluorescent light bulb?
The fluorescent light bulb more efficiently converts electricity to light resulting in less heat produced. But in winter, heat being produced is not exactly a bad thing. Besides, fluorescent light bulbs are more expensive and have heavy metals in them, making them more toxic.
Who invented fluorescent light bulb?
EEdmund Germer (90% sure) made the first fluorescent light bulb
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 a lumen How does it relate to watts?
A lumen is a unit of luminous flux, which is the amount of light emitted per unit time. A watt is a unit of power (such as electrical power), which is the amount of energy consumed per unit time. Light bulbs have ratings in watts, which measures how much electricity they use, and lumens, which measures how much light they give off. For the same kind of bulb (incandescent, fluorescent, LED, etc.), a bulb with a higher wattage will produce more lumens. However, a 10-watt LED or compact fluorescent bulb may produce more lumens than a 40-watt incandescent bulb.

Why does an incandescent bulb of similar energy 60 watts versus 15 watts make water evaporate more quickly than a compact fluorescent lightbulb?
An incandescent bulb gives off more heat than a fluorescent bulb.
What is the spectrum of fluorescent light?
