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.

Nothing to do with watts, bases could be any of the following except maybe mogul: Intermediate Base, 17mm,21/32 inches. Candelabra Base, 21mm, 13/16 inches. Medium Base, 29mm, 1 1/16 inches. Mogul Base, 40mm, 1 9/16 inches.

A candelabra is an incandescent light bulb with a smaller (threaded) base. The candelabra is actually the shape of the glass globe which resembles a candle flame outline. Any lamp that has a resistive element inside a vacuum is considered an incandescent lamp. Other types of lamps are metal halide, sodium, Mercury vapor, halogen, light emitting diode (led), neon, etc. and often describe the gas inside the sealed glass.

Electrically, a 10-watt bulb uses 75% less energy than a 40-watt bulb. For the same circuit voltage, let's say 120v, a 10-watt bulb would only draw 0.083 amperes, compared to 0.33 A for a 40-watt bulb.

Light-output-wise, they may not have the same ratio of light output. If a 40-watt lightbulb provides 400 lumens of light, a 10-watt lightbulb that is more energy-efficient than the 40-watt bulb may produce more than 100 lumens which is greater than 1/4 of the light output of the 40-watt bulb. A 10-watt bulb that is less energy-efficient than the same 40-watt bulb would produce less than 100 lumens of light.

yes, much brighter than 160 watt incandescent bulb. LED bulbs are much more efficiency in energy.

40 watts means that it uses 40 watts of electrical power. Lumens measure the amount of light produced. An incandescent bulb produces around 10 lumens per watt.

If you increase the number of watts in a light bulb will the amount of radiation it produces increase too?

If you are talking about light radiation then the answer is yes. You can see the difference between a 40 watt bulb and a 100 watt bulb just by looking at them.


Is looking at a laser more dangerous than looking at a light bulb of the same intensity?

Yes. There is a huge difference between a 1-watt laser and a 1-watt light bulb. A 1-watt laser will burn a hole in your eye.

What does the difference between between a 60-watt and a 100-watt light bulb describe?

Those numbers describe the power used by the two bulbs, in other words how many joules of electrical energy they use per second. The 100 watt bulb uses 40 watts more.

Compare and contrast a 60 watt and 100 watt light bulb?

The more energy that is transferred in a certain time, the greater the power. A 100W light bulb transfers more electrical energy each second than a 60W light bulb.The equation below shows the relationship between power, potential difference (voltage) and current:power (watts) = current (amps) x potential difference (volts)
