Electric lamps have a wattage rating, but also have voltage ratings. Additionally, there are different socket styles for lamps, too.

What is the unit of a light bulb?
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CFL bulbs were commonplace.Light output may also be described in 'candlepower', although this unit of measurement is obsolete and was replaced by the 'candela' in 1948.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
Why power of incandesent bulb is lower than actual power written on it when you buy it?
Very few bulbs take exactly the nominal power. Because of manufacturing variations they can take up to 5% less or more than stated. It could also be due to measurement inaccuracy in the measuring equipment used for this measurement.
Do daisies grow in bulbs or seeds?

Are ordinary light bulbs rated in terms of luminosity or brightness?
Yes, ordinary light bulbs are rated in terms of luminosity (which is generally understood as a measurement of brightness) AND voltage AND current. And physical size AND type of base (screw in, bayonet and which size?).There are many parameters that a light bulb can be rated by.
What bulbs go in a s-10?
Headlight bulbs, high and low beam, parking light bulbs, signal light bulbs, brake light bulbs, dash light bulbs, interior light bulbs, plate light bulbs, etc.
How are light bulbs measured?
Brightness of a light bulb depends on the power, current, resistance and size of the filament. Lumens is the unit of measurement for the brightness of a bulb. A bulb has more brightness if there is more power and current. Greater the resistance, less is the brightness.

Very few bulbs take exactly the nominal power. Because of manufacturing variations they can take up to 5% less or more than stated. It could also be due to measurement inaccuracy in the measuring equipment used for this measurement.
How can we place FOUR 60 watt bulbs in same distance?
If you are asking about placement of four bulbs in a row, take the overall measurement of the room and divide the distance by the number five. Example, room is 20 feet long, divided by 5 equals 4 feet. The first bulb will be 4 foot off the wall and the remaining 3 bulbs will be 4 feet apart. The last bulb will end 4 feet from the opposite wall.
