The amount of power they consume is measured in watts.
The amount of light they put out is measured in lumens.
The power of light bulbs is measured in
Watts.
It is measured in watts.
wattage or watts
Light bulbs are measured in two ways: Lumens for their light output and Watts for their power consumption.
The electricity used by a Lightbuldb is measured in "Watts", the output of the Light (i.e. the Light) is measured in "Candela".
Light bulb are measured in Candela (Cd) for its luminous intensity and Watt for its power consumed.
The unit for intensity of light is candela(cd). However, bulbs are rated by their power usage which is measured in watts(W)
Watts and lumens
The power a light bulb consumes is measured in watts. Light output is often described in terms of watts, as wattage was the only measurement distinguishing different light bulbs in the years before CFL bulbs were commonplace.Light output may also be described in 'candlepower', although this unit of measurement is obsolete and was replaced by the 'candela' in 1948. 'Lumens' are the standard of light measurement in terms of what the human eye can perceive, and you may see these on light bulb packaging occasionally as well.Incandescent light bulbs are generally measured in watts, indicating the power consumed by the bulb.The amount of light of light produced is measured in lumens. Fluorescent bulbs produce more lumens per watt than incandescent. LED lights produce more lumens per watt than florescents.Watts.Watts

No. All light from light bulbs (incandescent) are equally bright. Higher wattage bulbs simply produce a higher quantity of light measured in lumens.
