When a light bulb is rated at 60 watts it means it?
. . runs at a constant 60 watts of electric power. In an hour it uses up 60 watt-hours of energy.
WILL 103 VOLTS LIGHT A 60 WATT LIGHT BULB?
Yes, a 103 volt source will light a 60 watt light bulb. The relationship of the bulb's wattage output at a lower voltage, as to the normal voltage that the bulb is rated to operate on, the light output will be lower.
Does a 25 watt light bulb draw more current than a 60 watt light bulb?
No, a higher wattage INCANDESCENT light bulb uses more current than a lower wattage INCANDESCENT light bulb. Some CF and LED bulbs are rated by the amount of light that an incandescent bulb would produce, but they are also rated by the wattage that they use.
How many watts of electricity to light a 60 watt fluorescent light bulb?
Providing the lamp is operating at its rated voltage, a 60-W lamp will require 60 W. Thought that should be self-evident!

What is 60w light bulb?
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.

Is a watt a light bulb?
A 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.
Is it safe to use a 3-way incandescent light bulb in my table lamp that states it takes a 60 watt bulb?
Provided the bulb is rated at 60 Watts or less and the fitting is compatible, yes.

A typical light bulb in your house is rated 60 W which means that the bulb dissipates 60 W when connected to a DC voltage of 110 V What is the currrent?
P=VI 60W = 110V x I I=0.54* A Hopefully in your house you are connected to 110 VAC and not DC. Same answer as above applies.

When 60 W means that W joules of energy are transferred into the bulb each second. In use how much energy is given out by the bulb each second?
The light bulb will use electrical energy at the rate of 60 W (60 J/s), and it will emit that energy, also at the rate of 60 W.Note that in any real light bulb, only part of the energy is emitted as visible light. The remainder is mainly heat.
How much energy does a sixty watt light bulb use to yield light?
It takes 60 watt-hours. Same as lighting a 1-watt bulb for 60 hours; or 60 bulbs of 1 watt each for 1 hour. You get the idea.Notice the units: watt-hours, not watts. Watt is a unit of power, watt-hour is a unit of energy. 1 watt-hour = 0.001 kWh (kilowatt-hour) = 3600 joules = 860 calories = 3.4 BTU.
How many killawatts are in a standard light bulb?
"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."
