If you're talking about the standard 60-watt lamp, no. It is true that by assembling the correct components and "plugging them into" the spud, you can make a simple electrochemical cell, but this cell won't generate the voltage or the current to drive the lamp enough to light it up. Not even a little bit.
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.
A 60 watt light bulb produces 60 watts of heat energy as a byproduct of generating light.
A watt is a measurement of electricity, usually pertaining to light. Light bulbs luminosity is graded by wattage, such as a 60 watt bulb, 100 watt bulb and so on. You would find a watt in a light bulb, to start.
No, they are not the same thing. 60 Hz refers to the frequency of the electricity supply, while a 60-watt light bulb refers to the power consumption or output of the bulb.
Yes, a 100-watt light bulb is brighter than a 60-watt light bulb because it produces more light.
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.
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.
Yes, it will be perfectly safe.
A 60 watt bulb at 12 volts will pull 5 amps of current.
Original answer: Because it gives off more power. Updated answer: In general, because the 100-watt bulb produces more total light (lumens) because it also consumes more power than the 60-watt bulb. However, a 60-watt can produce more lumens than a 100-watt bulb, depending on the types of bulbs in question.
A 13-15 watt compact fluorescent bulb (CFL) or a 9-11 watt LED bulb is roughly equivalent to a 60 watt incandescent bulb in terms of light output.
Approximately, 750 lumens is equivalent to a 60-watt incandescent light bulb.
