It takes 60 watt-hours. Same as lighting a 1-watt bulb for 60 hours; or 60 bulbs of 1 watt each for 1 hour. You get the idea.Notice the units: watt-hours, not watts. Watt is a unit of power, watt-hour is a unit of energy. 1 watt-hour = 0.001 kWh (kilowatt-hour) = 3600 joules = 860 calories = 3.4 BTU.
A 100 w light bulb uses one tenth of a kilowatt of power, therefore in 1 hour it uses one tenth of a kilowatt-hour of energy, that is 0.1 units, or 1.5 p.
A 75 watt light bulb consumes 75 watt every hour if left on continuously. You electric company charges by the kilowatt hour. So since 75 watts = .075KW x 48 hours you would use 3.6 KWhrs. If you are paying about 12 cents per KWhr it would cost you about 42 cents.
An electrical watt is a measure of power. A 40 watt light bulb uses 40 watts of electrical power. It has a relative measure of twice the light output of a 20 watt bulb and one half the output of an 80 watt bulb. A 40 watt bulb uses 40 Joules of energy each second, or 40 watt-hours of energy each hour. In 1000 hours it uses 40 kilowatt-hours or Units of electrical energy.

The average home fluorescent lamp consumes 40W of power. Running for one hour it will consume 0.04 KWh. Units of electricity are charged per Kilowatt hour.
electircal or photo electrical energy. Photons are shot across from panel to another panel this sparking back and forth creates the light you see.Answer: Electricity is the energy input into a light bulb. It either heats afilamanet to produce heat and light, r excites the gas contained in the bulb (in flluorescent tube) to emit visible light directly or emit UV light which interacts with a phosphor coating in the tubes to emit light.

"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 electrical watt is a measure of power. A 40 watt light bulb uses 40 watts of electrical power. It has a relative measure of twice the light output of a 20 watt bulb and one half the output of an 80 watt bulb. A 40 watt bulb uses 40 Joules of energy each second, or 40 watt-hours of energy each hour. In 1000 hours it uses 40 kilowatt-hours or Units of electrical energy.
that is dependant on the wattage of the bulb, the wattage 40W, 60W, 100W, is the rated power that a bulb will use. 1kW is equal to 1000W 1kWh is equal to 1000W per hour. kW stands for kilo watt I hope that helps
. . runs at a constant 60 watts of electric power. In an hour it uses up 60 watt-hours of energy.
Energy-saving bulbs use much less than 1 kilowatt and most of them use less than 40 watts which is 0.04 kilowatts. A 20 watt bulb uses 1 kilowatt-hour of energy if run for 50 hours.
If you run it for 3 minutes and off for 57 minutes each hour, it would save 95% of the energy.
