Depends on the bulb. There are different sizes.

<<>>

It is not the wattage of the tubes that is the concern, it is the wattage of the ballast that is connected to the power source that has to be known for circuit loading. Look on the ballast and you will see an amperage that the ballast draws. Use the formula W = A x V to find the line side wattage. Once all of the wattage's have been added up use the formula; I = W/V, this will give you the amperage the circuit so that the wire size and breaker size can be calculated.

<<>> The power used by the bulb, in watts, should be printed somewhere on the bulb. A CFL like the one in the picture would use 15-20 watts.

How much energy does it take to light fluorescent a light bulb for 1 hour?

The average home fluorescent lamp consumes 40W of power. Running for one hour it will consume 0.04 KWh. Units of electricity are charged per Kilowatt hour.


How much total energy does a 60-watt fluorescent light consume?

Take a look at the units: 1 Watt = 1 Joule/Second A joule is a unit of energy. For example, 1 Joule = .239 calories = Therefore 60 Watts=60 Joules/Second So that means for every second, the light consumes 60 Joules. You must know for how long the light will be on to know how much energy will be consumed.


How many kilowatts would a 400watt light use in a hour?

Which bulb lasts longer an incandescent light bulb or a compact fluorescent light bulb?

A regular incandescent bulb uses a lot more energy than a compact fluorescent to produce the same amount of light. Most energy used by an incandescent bulb is wasted as heat which does not give off visible light. Incandescent bulbs are cheaper to buy, but they have shorter lifetimes than other alternatives.

How long do fluorescent lights last?

Fluorescent light bulbs are extremely long-lasting. Most are designed to last over 10,000 hours. This comes out to approximately 416 days of continuous 24 hour usage. Even if used only 8 hours/day, the average fluorescent bulb should last over 3 years.


What happens to the energy wasted in a light bulb?

electircal or photo electrical energy. Photons are shot across from panel to another panel this sparking back and forth creates the light you see.Answer: Electricity is the energy input into a light bulb. It either heats afilamanet to produce heat and light, r excites the gas contained in the bulb (in flluorescent tube) to emit visible light directly or emit UV light which interacts with a phosphor coating in the tubes to emit light.
