a normal incandescent 60 watt light bulb uses 60 watts of electricity to produce 20 watts worth of light, and 40 watts worth of heat. It is more of a heat bulb than a light bulb. it is great if you can capitalise on the free heat, but if it is not cold in your house, turn it off.
is there a better bulb? no.
why are they ideal?
cheap (as low as 10 cents for the el cheapos), never change shape/design/size/compatability, make pleasant light
I could go on for an hour, but the best bulb is the cheapest.

∙ 12y agoA 60 watt light bulb is a light bulb with 60 watts capacity. When talking about watts, you're talking about the power that is transferred from the appliance to the accessories. Therefore, the light bulb labeled "60 watts" takes 60 watts to light up. A 60 watt light bulb will not be as bright as a 120 watt light bulb.

How much CO2 does a 60w light bulb exert?
10,000,000,000,000.000
What is the lumen output of a 60W incandescent bulb?
The output of bulbs varies. A typical output of a 60W incandescent bulb is 680 lumens.
What happens to a light bulb when put in series with a inductor?
When you put a light bulb in series with a inductor, the inductive reactance of the inductor reduces the current available to the light bulb, making it less bright. For this effect to be noticed, however, you need a very large inductor. To cut the current in a 60W bulb at 120VAC/60Hz by one half, for instance, you need an inductor around 0.6 henrys.
Does the resistance of a light bulb filament change after the light has been turned on?
The electrical resistance of a light bulb increases when it is turned on As a resistor, the tungsten light bulb has a positive resistance coefficient. This means that the electrical resistance goes up when the filament becomes hot. For example, a 100 watt light bulb operated at 120 volts - it does not matter if it is AC or DC for this calculation - will have a resistance of 144 ohms when hot and draw .833 ampere. When cold the filament typically has a resistance of only 10 ohms which increases as the filament heats up.
In 1879 this invention Thomas Edison burned for 13 hours?
The light bulb. The light bulb. The light bulb.
How much CO2 does a 60w light bulb exert?
10,000,000,000,000.000
How much time would a 60w light bulb to run out of light?
The average lifetime of an incandescent bulb is around 2000 hours.
How many amperes does a standard 60 watt light bulb use?
Watts = Volts X Amps. Amps=Watt / Volts. So, with a 240V mains, a 60W bulb draws 0.25amps. On a 12 system (car/auto) a 60W bulb draws 5 amps. On a 110V mains, a 60W bulb draws .55 Amps.
What watt light bulb for chicks?
60W should be sufficient. It really depends on the construction of the brooder.
How many kilowatts does a light bulb use?
Thsi depends on the light bulb specification. For example if you buy a standard 60W light bulb from your supmarket then this will consume 0.06kilowatts. Its simple just divide the wattage stated on the light bulb by 1000 to give you the kilowatts
What does the w of 60w on a light bulb mean?
The w means watt. It is a unit of measurement that quantifies the energy given off by the globe when it is switched on.
What is the lumen output of a 60W incandescent bulb?
The output of bulbs varies. A typical output of a 60W incandescent bulb is 680 lumens.
What is the percent efficiency of a 60W light bulb that produces 6W of light energy?
If you're using it to generate light, 10 percent efficient. If you're using it to generate heat, 90 percent efficient.
Is 110w bulb is or not?
There are 60W, 75W, 100W, and 150W bulbs. No standard 110W.
What happens to a light bulb when put in series with a inductor?
When you put a light bulb in series with a inductor, the inductive reactance of the inductor reduces the current available to the light bulb, making it less bright. For this effect to be noticed, however, you need a very large inductor. To cut the current in a 60W bulb at 120VAC/60Hz by one half, for instance, you need an inductor around 0.6 henrys.
Which is brighter 60 watts or 75 watts?
Watts aren't a unit of light. Previously, light bulbs could be rated based entirely on their energy consumption. A 60W light bulb consumes 60W, and produces light accordingly. A 75W light bulb consumes more power, and produces a little more light. Newer bulb technology like LEDs and CFLs consume less power, but produce a greater number of lumens (or candlepower). Thus, light bulbs are starting to display the lumens, one of the units for measuring light intensity. Note that the readings can be misleading, as the lumens shown may have a weird distance compared to other bulbs.
Why 60w bulb more bright than 100w bulb connected in series?
There is insufficient information in the question to answer it. In series with what? Please restate the question.
