An incandescent nightlight bulb is either 4 watt or 7 watt.
A 4 watt bulb uses 1/25th (0.04) the power of a 100 watt bulb.
A 7 watt bulb uses 7/100th (0.07) the power of a 100 watt bulb.
There are LED and other types of nightlights that use much less power than this.
To find the energy total used multiply the power (in watts) by the total time the light is on (in hours) to get energy (in Wh). If you want kWh divide this by 1000 as a watt is 1/1000th of a kW.
a nightlight can cost a few dollars depending on the type of nightlight it is such as a bulb or sensor. the decor of the nightlight can be factored in the cost as well.
Yes, Of Course The lifetime depends on the wattage. The wattage is the amount of Power the light bulb uses, and the life time depends on the power. Thank you
An Energy Star qualified compact fluorescent light bulb can save you around $30 over it's lifetime, paying for its self in about 6 months.
That does not depend directly on the brightness of the bulb, it depends on the current drawn by the bulb (which depends on the efficiency of the bulb). For example an incandescent bulb will draw much more current than a much brighter CFL bulb or LED bulb. Therefor switching to an brighter LED bulb can make the battery last much longer while switching to a brighter incandescent bulb will make the battery run down quicker.
A Low energy bulbs uses about 1/5 energy of a traditional bulb. ie. 20w (Low energy bulb) = 100w (standard filiment bulb) 80%+ traditional bulb s' energy is lost as heat. The 20% figure shown above only relates to the low energy bulb during its normal usage. The question was about the overall ecological balance, which includes ecological burden through manufacture, distribution and disposal (or recycling). Low energy light bulbs contain heavy metals, electronics and toxic materials, and are manufactured (and recycled) using much more complicated and, presumably, more ecologically damaging processes compared to those involved in traditional tungsten filaments. The question is still open thus.

The total energy delivered to each bulb in a circuit depends on the voltage of the circuit and the resistance of the bulb. In a series circuit, the total voltage is divided among all bulbs, so each bulb receives less energy compared to a parallel circuit where each bulb gets the full voltage of the circuit.
An energy-saving light bulb can save around 75-80% of energy compared to a traditional incandescent bulb. This can result in significant savings on electricity bills and reduced energy consumption over time.
Both normal and colored light bulbs typically have the same energy consumption in terms of electricity when producing light. The difference lies in the design of the colored bulb that filters out certain light wavelengths to produce colored light, which can make it appear dimmer compared to a normal bulb of the same wattage.
A typical incandescent light bulb produces around 90% of its energy as heat and only 10% as visible light. The heat output can vary depending on the wattage of the bulb, with higher wattage bulbs producing more heat. LED bulbs, on the other hand, are much more energy-efficient and produce very little heat compared to incandescent bulbs.
The amount of energy that comes out of a light bulb is typically less than the energy that goes in, due to energy losses in the form of heat and light. The efficiency of a light bulb is determined by its design and technology. The amount of useful energy output can vary depending on the type of light bulb used.

No, Colored light bulbs holds the same amount of energy a regular light bulb holds.
Compared to what?
Every person has a different power of light bulb. In my room, I have a 7.5 and a whole bunch of 60s. The number of watts you choose for your light bulb depends on how bright you want your light to be. The higher the number, the brighter it is.
A CFL light bulb can save about 75% of energy compared to an incandescent bulb. This is because CFLs are more efficient in converting electricity into light, while incandescent bulbs produce more heat than light, resulting in greater energy waste.
Yes a baby can sleep with a nightlight without awakening. It does, however, depend on how much of a light sleeper the baby is, since all babies are different. But generally, a nightlight should not be a problem as the light is soothing and not blinding like the ceiling lights.
