Best Answer

In the sense of 'work' as force moving through a distance, a light bulb does none

of that.

But in the sense that mechanical work is equivalent to energy in other realms,

the 75-watt light bulb consumes 75 joules of electrical energy every second,

and radiates 75 joules per second of energy in the form of light and heat.

How many watts per hour does 75 watt bulb use?

The bulb's power, 75 watts, is the power it uses continuously all the time it is switched on. The energy it uses can be measured in watt-seconds (Joules) or in watt-hours. A 75 watt bulb uses 75 watt-hours each hour, which is 0.075 kilowatt-hour.


Can you use a 75 watt light bulb on a lamp rated 60 watt max?

Usually the 60-watt limit is used to prevent the lampshade overheating, so a 75-watt bulb should not be used. But if more brightness is required, try a low-energy bulb because a 15-watt one gives the same light as a 75-watt incandescent (old-style) bulb. Or a 20-watt would be even brighter.
