40 watts of consumed power. The light output may be greater with one compared to the other, but wattage alone does not give us that information. Electric heaters, for example, consume 1500 watts of power and produce almost no visible light.
Check the Lumen's. That is where the difference is.
Current draw and light output.
A 60 watt bulb uses 60 watts of electricity (i.e. it converts 60 joules of energy per second), a 100 watt bulb converts 100 joules per second. Electrical power is measured in watts. Since a 60 watt bulb pulls less energy to it than a 100 watt bulb the 60 watt bulb will not be as bright.
Resistance.
Just in the amount of power used and the brightness of the bulb. The 60 watt bulb might be a bit smaller.

What percentage is a 100 watt light bulb brighter than a 60 watt light bulb?
Original answer: Because it gives off more power. Updated answer: In general, because the 100-watt bulb produces more total light (lumens) because it also consumes more power than the 60-watt bulb. However, a 60-watt can produce more lumens than a 100-watt bulb, depending on the types of bulbs in question.
How many lumens are in a 1000 watt incondescent light bulb?
A 1,000 watt is 15,000 lumens. A 100 watt bulb is 1,500 lumens.
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.
Where do you find a watt?
A watt is a measurement of electricity, usually pertaining to light. Light bulbs luminosity is graded by wattage, such as a 60 watt bulb, 100 watt bulb and so on. You would find a watt in a light bulb, to start.
