How much heat does a light bulb make?
The electrical term Watts is a measure of heat. It is calculated by multiplying amps times volts, but it is still a measure of heat. A 50w light bulb made for 12 volts produces about the same amount of heat as a 50w light bulb made for 120 volts.
How many amps in a 40 watt light bulb?
A lumen is the perceived intensity of the light, as seen by the human eye. The lumen value is largely determined by the the nature of the light, i.e. the sum of the different wavelengths of the light being transmitted by the particular bulb type.The standard tungsten wire-filament ('incandescent') bulb radiates a different type of light to a flourescentlight.* a 230 V, 40 watt incandescent bulb produces a light (quality) of about 400-500 lumens,* a standard 230 V flourescent lamp of only 7 watts will produce exactly the same value of lumens, i.e. 400-500 lumens. * the cool white XLamp XP-G 3.5 V LED lamp of only 3 watts will produce a similar value of lumens, i.e. 350 lumens. And is safer for the workers that make them and better for the environment. It is currently more expensive, but prices have been dropping about 20% per year. Therefore LED light bulbs convert electricity into light more efficiently than incandescent or florescent light bulbs. * For more information, See Related links below this box

No. The term SOURCE means that it is a supply of electrical energy, and a light bulb does not supply electricity, it uses it. A battery, generator, fuel cell, or solar cell would be a source.
Who created light bulb watts?
Thomas Edison invented the vacuum sealed filiment light bulb. James Watt coined the term "watt" as the work done by an electrical circuit, which can be calculated as Volts multiplied by Amps.
