You know if current is flowing in a bulb circuit because, if there is enough power (voltage times current), the bulb will illuminate. If there is current, but not enough power to illuminate the bulb, you will need to measure the current with an ammeter to see if there is any current.
Electric Bulb
Look on the light bulb for the voltage and the power in watts. Then divide the watts by the voltage and that gives the amps. Some CFL bulbs also state the current as well as the voltage and power, which is because they can have a poor power factor.
The function of a light bulb in an electric circuit is that it turns electrical energy into light.
You need a Battery, Light Bulb, Ammeter, Switch.
The quantity of power consumed by a light bulb is dependant on the wattage of the bulb.
The first electric light bulb was made in 1880
Edison invented the light bulb.

No, CFL bulbs have a power factor of 0.6-0.7.
Not enough power, or the electrons are escaping somehow. Perhaps the bulb is dead?
You need a wind power generator to make the electric energy to hook your light to. Maybe charging a battery with the wind generator and running the light bulb off the battery will provide better service.
a bulb is light bulb
Brightness is measured in lumens so the bulb has a brightness of 100 lumens. The electrical power the bulb uses is measured in watts. The efficiency of a bulb is expressed in the number of lumens produced per watt of electric power.
