The 100 watt lumen-equivalent bulbs use 20 watts.
The 60 watt lumen-equivalent bulbs use 16 watts.
A 20 watt incandesent bulb is dim. For a medium sized room you need 100 watts. A 20 watt halogen bulb is brighter but still quite dim. These are marketed as low-energy but they are not. For a medium sized room you need 80 watts. A 20 watt fluorescent bulb can light a medium sized room quite brightly. This is a genuine low energy bulb.
Energy-saving bulbs use much less than 1 kilowatt and most of them use less than 40 watts which is 0.04 kilowatts. A 20 watt bulb uses 1 kilowatt-hour of energy if run for 50 hours.
None. But it does convert 5 watts of electrical power (energy per unit time) into 5 watts of [light + thermal] power.
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.
When a light bulb is rated at 60 watts, it means that it consumes 60 watts of electrical power when it is turned on. This power consumption determines the brightness of the bulb and is used to measure its energy usage.
No. An energy saving light bulb is just a light bulb, and can't charge anything. The reason it's called an "energy saving" device is that it can give you the same amount of light while using less electrical energy than older bulbs used.

It uses less energy to produce the same amount of illumination as a standard light bulb
Very little, but it is noticeable, with a bright light in a small room. A light bulb puts out between 9 watts (energy-saving fluorescent light bulb) to approximately 100 watts (bright incandescent light bulb). Your average bar-heater, for comparison, puts out about between 1200-2400 watts.
Energy-saving bulbs use much less than 1 kilowatt and most of them use less than 40 watts which is 0.04 kilowatts. A 20 watt bulb uses 1 kilowatt-hour of energy if run for 50 hours.
A 150 watt light bulb consumes 150 watts of energy per hour when it is turned on.
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.
The energy saving light-bulbs are usually fluorescent. Neon is a type of fluorescent light bulb.
40W on a light bulb indicates that the bulb consumes 40 watts of power. This measurement refers to the amount of energy the bulb consumes to produce light. In general, higher wattage bulbs produce more light but also consume more energy.
If it is a 40 Watt bulb it converts energy at the rate of 40 Watts as long as it is switched on.
None. But it does convert 5 watts of electrical power (energy per unit time) into 5 watts of [light + thermal] power.
