What is equal to 60 watt in CFL?

If the question is what wattage compact fluorescent (CFL) lamp has a similar light output to an incandescent lamp of a given wattage, the ratio is usually about 4. A 60W incandescent can be replaced by an 13-15 W CFL lamp. A 60W CFL lamp can replace a 300W incandescent lamp.

What is the average price of a fluorescent desk lamp?

The average price of a fluorescent desk lamp is about $30. You can buy a fluorescent lamp for as much as $55, or as little as $17. It depends on the brand size of bulbs used in the lamp.


What is the current when a 60W lampis connected to 120v?

Since power is volts time amps, the current in a 60W lamp connected to 120V is 0.5A. Since a lamp is a resistive load, there is no need to consider power factor and phase angle, so that simplifies the explanation. ======================== Assuming this is an incandescent or halogen lamp (using a filament to make the light) there is a trick here: the resistance of a lamp filament varies with temperature and does not follow Ohm's law. The resistance will be much lower, thus the current will be much higher when the filament is cold, when the lamp is first connected. As the filament heats up, the resistance increases until it gets to a steady operating point of 0.5A. For a halogen lamp, the operating temperature is about 2800-3400K, so the R at room temperature is about 16 times lower than when hot... so when connected, the current is about 8A but drops rapidly. The current could be even higher if the lamp is in a cold environment. Non-halogen lamps operate at a lower temperature and would have a lower initial current--about 5A. And this all assumes the lamp is rated for 120V. If it is a 12V/60W lamp, the filament will probably break and create an arc, which may draw a very large current.
