Most equate wattage with the amount of light a bulb will put out. But, the wattage is the result of the resistance of the element and the voltage and is the amount of heat. the frequency is unrelated.

How many lumens are in a 34 watt bulb?
The number of lumens produced by a 34 watt bulb depends on the type of bulb. As a general estimation, a standard incandescent bulb produces around 400-500 lumens per 40 watts, so a 34 watt bulb would likely produce slightly fewer lumens, around 350-450 lumens. However, different bulb technologies such as LED or CFL can produce a higher number of lumens with lower wattage.
Which wattage is used if you put a 3 way bulb into a lamp that does not have 3way ability?
The medium filament will be the light producer. This is because that filament is connected to the center pin of the lamp base the same as ordinary light bulbs. If the tri-light bulb is 50, 100 and 150 watts, the 100 watt portion will light.
Does a yellow bug light put off the same amount of heat as regular incandescent light bulb of the same wattage?
YES
Does a high watt bulb give more energy than a low watt bulb?
More watts means it uses more energy per second (watt is a unit of power). If it is a light-bulb of the same type of technology, the higher-watt light bulb would also give off more light.
Can you put a 100 watt bulb in a 75 watt lamp?
Yes, you CAN. The real question is whether or not you should. There is always a fire hazard, especially if the lamp is near drapes, or has a large shade or whatnot on it. If it was me I'd only use a 60 watt bulb in a 60 watt lamp.
Can you put a lower 13 watt bulb in a 15 watt lamp?
Yes. Lower wattage would be safe for the lamp wires and components.

What happens to a light bulb in series?
If you put two incandescent bulbs of the same wattage in series, they will both light with the same intensity. If one is lower wattage than the other, the lower wattage bulb will light brighter than the oter one. If you put two 115 volt bulbs of the same wattage in series across 230 volts, both will light equally, but if you use dissimilar wattages, the smaller one will burn out.
Can you put a 100 watt bulb in a 75 watt lamp?
Yes, you CAN. The real question is whether or not you should. There is always a fire hazard, especially if the lamp is near drapes, or has a large shade or whatnot on it. If it was me I'd only use a 60 watt bulb in a 60 watt lamp.
Can you put a 10.5 LED bulb in a basic 40 watt intermediate lamp base?
An LED bulb that replaces a basic bulb must have the same working voltage and the same type of fitting. A 10.5 watt LED will draw less power and produce less heat than a 40 watt incandescent, but not all LEDs are dimmable.
What is the biggest watt in lighting?
In europe the biggest common house light wattage is a 60 watt light bulb. They have now put in a law saying that they can no longer be made, but they can be sold.outdoor lights vary from 100w up to 2000w projections for open park concerts and strobe lighting.
Can I put a UV bulb to power a lava lamp?
The dark black incandescent type UV bulbs will work as they actually get hotter than the equivalent standard incandescent bulb of the same wattage, but the compact fluorescent type UV bulbs run too cool.
Does a 100 watt bulb put out more light than a 25 watt bulb?
The higher the rated wattage of the bulb, the greater the luminous efficacy, which means you get more lumens per watt using a 120-watt bulb than using two 60-watt bulbs.Check the lumen ratings for the two 60 watt bulbs, and compare it with the lumen rating for the 120 watt bulb. That should give you the answer you seek. The 60 watt bulbs may give off a light that is more yellow than the 120 watt.A More AccurateIt depends upon the type of light bulbs used, and what you mean by "light". Incandescent light bulbs are very efficient at converting electricity into light, but unfortunately they emit most of that light in the infrared band, which humans cannot see. Therefore, we describe incandescent bulbs as being inefficient in terms of converting electricity into visible light.Generally, higher wattage incandescent light bulbs operate at higher temperatures, and they therefore emit a greater proportion of the light in the visible spectrum. Consequently it is common to say a 120 watt bulb emits more than twice the light of a 60 watt bulb. In truth, a 120 watt bulb emits almost exactly double the luminescent energy of a 60 watt bulb, but because the 120 watt emits a greater proportion of its energy in the visible spectrum, it is common to claim that the 120 watt bulb emits more than double the light of a 60 watt bulb.The situation changes considerably when talking about fluorescent and LED bulbs, which emit the majority of their luminescent energy in the visible spectrum. That is why they are so popular, because they use much less electrical energy to emit the same amount of visible light, compared to incandescent light bulbs. As a general rule, a 120 watt fluorescent or LED bulb will emit about twice the visible light as a 60 watt bulb.Watts is not a unit of light, but of power consumption. However, many people are familiar with the amount of light emitted from an incandescent lamp (bulb) of a given wattage, so that has become an unofficial way of expressing brightness. Many compact fluorescent packages are labeled with the incandescent wattage giving a similar light output.
Can you put a 7 watt bulb in a 40 watt socket?
Yes if it fits. The 40 watts would be an upper limit.
