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.

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.


What is the energy consumption of a 150 watt light bulb?

A 150 watt light bulb consumes 150 watts of energy per hour when it is turned on.

How much energy does a 5 watt light bulb?

That varies a lot, depending on the type of light bulb. The old-fashioned incandescent light bulbs produce much less light, for the same power, than the fluorescent light bulbs.That varies a lot, depending on the type of light bulb.

How many kWh will a 32 watt fluorescent bulb use?

A 32 watt bulb uses 32 watt-hours, or 0.032 kWh, every hour it is used.


What is the power rating for a light bulb in one hour?

The power rating of a light bulb is measured in watts (W), which represents the amount of electrical energy it consumes per unit of time. If a light bulb has a power rating of 60 watts (for example), it means it consumes 60 watt-hours of energy in one hour of operation.


How much energy will a 100w light bulb convert to light and heat if it is left burning for 1hour?

Power = Energy/time 100W=Energy/360 Seconds Energy = 100/360 Energy ≈ 0.27 Joules


How long does it take for a 100 watt light bulb to cobsume 100 units of energy?

Simple 10,000 hours cause it completes 1 unit in 10 hours.....


How long does a filament light bulb last?

Every once in a while, you will get a dud, but for the most part they are intended to last for up to 10,000 hours. For comparable Lumens, they save about 75% of the energy that a regular filament based incandescent (the regular kind) will use. Even with the duds, it saves you significant amounts of energy. Get a good bulb, though. You're going to want to like the light quality and a good bulb will last longer. You will save money even if they're giving away the incandescents. Ideal conditions for a compact fluorescent bulb (CFL) are when the bulb comes on, has a chance to warm up, and then stays on. Closet lights will burn out sooner (per hour of use, but since they're used so less frequently), but you will still save energy. Modern bulbs come on instantly, but they take about 30 seconds to heat up. Best of luck!


How much energy does a sixty watt light bulb use to yield light?

It takes 60 watt-hours. Same as lighting a 1-watt bulb for 60 hours; or 60 bulbs of 1 watt each for 1 hour. You get the idea.Notice the units: watt-hours, not watts. Watt is a unit of power, watt-hour is a unit of energy. 1 watt-hour = 0.001 kWh (kilowatt-hour) = 3600 joules = 860 calories = 3.4 BTU.


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.


How much energy does it take to light a 60-watt light bulb for an hour?

Actually, your wrong. Sure, the lighting ithat is set for proper illumination is 60watts, but if anyone is used to using a dimmer, you can dial down the power consumption for a typical incandescent bulb and it will still light. And as expected, the light level will decrease as you lower the dimmer setting as well.
