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.
The brightness of an incandescent lightbulb is determined by its wattage. New technology, such as fluorescent bulbs and LED bulbs, produce the same brightness with less energy consumption.
Light bulbs are generally classified by wattage. eg: 25 watt, 40 watt... A secondary classification is voltage. eg: 120v.
Depending what your measuring for, they are usually measured in watts just as any other light. However, you can measure them in candles and temperature as well.
why light bulbs are fragile
Light bulbs emit light.
Electrical power is measured in watts (W), just like any other type of power.Power is the rate at which energy is used. Energy is measured in joules (J), though utility bills usually measure energy using kilowatt-hours (kW·h) instead. 1 kW·h = 3,600,000 J.
They are known as CFL bulbs. It stands for Compact Fluorescent Lamps.
The power of light bulbs is measured in
Watts and lumens
The amount of power they consume is measured in watts. The amount of light they put out is measured in lumens.

The electricity used by a Lightbuldb is measured in "Watts", the output of the Light (i.e. the Light) is measured in "Candela".
Light bulbs are measured in two ways: Lumens for their light output and Watts for their power consumption.
No. All light from light bulbs (incandescent) are equally bright. Higher wattage bulbs simply produce a higher quantity of light measured in lumens.
It is measured in watts.
wattage or watts
Light bulb are measured in Candela (Cd) for its luminous intensity and Watt for its power consumed.
The unit for intensity of light is candela(cd). However, bulbs are rated by their power usage which is measured in watts(W)
