Light bulbs have various ratings. They are rated in Watts.
To answer this question the amp hour rating of the battery is needed along with the voltage of the battery or bulb.
A 100 w light bulb uses one tenth of a kilowatt of power, therefore in 1 hour it uses one tenth of a kilowatt-hour of energy, that is 0.1 units, or 1.5 p.
Wattage is a direct measure of how much power is used in an hour. Ex.A 60 Watt light bulb uses 60 watts of power in an hour. Power at your meter is measured in Thousands of Watts or Kilowatts.

Please give the voltage and Ah rating of the battery and voltage rating of bulb.

The average home fluorescent lamp consumes 40W of power. Running for one hour it will consume 0.04 KWh. Units of electricity are charged per Kilowatt hour.
"A standard light bulb I would consider to be a 60 watt light bulb, and kilowatts are the amount of usage in a light bulb. From my research I have found that a standard 60 watt light bulb uses approximately 1.44 Kilowatts per hour."

The watt was named after James Watt. The term watt in electric appliances refers the rate at which energy is generated or consumed and therefore is measured in units (e.g. watts) that represent energy per unit time. An example; when a light bulb with a power rating of 100W is turned on for one hour, the energy used is 100 watt hours (The watt second is a unit of energy, equal to the joule).
That would depend on the how many watts the light bulb you are talking about. Also, it would depend on how much your power company charges for electricity.
You have to have three factors to calculate this cost. First what you are charged per Kw/hr from your power supplier, second the wattage size of the bulb that you want to do the calculation on and third the voltage of the bulb. Give me these and I can tell you how it costs to run the bulb per hour.

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.
