A 48-inch T8 fluorescent bulb typically uses about 32 watts of electricity. This wattage can vary slightly depending on the specific model and manufacturer, but 32 watts is the standard for most T8 bulbs. When considering energy consumption, it's also important to factor in the ballast, which may add additional watts to the overall power usage.

How much electricity a light bulb uses?

That depends on the type of bulb AND on it's power usage. An old incandescent bulb of 100 watts uses about an amp, a 60 watt uses about a half amp. But a florescent bulb putting out the same light would consume about half the current, and a LED bulb would use less than half that.


Why does a bulb blow?

Because to much electricity is getting through to the light bulb.


How much electricity does electric bulb uses?

The quantity of power consumed by a light bulb is dependant on the wattage of the bulb.

How much energy does an energy saving light bulb save?

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.


Why does energy saver give more light than electric bulb of same watt?

Both bulbs output the same amount of energy. The difference is in how much of that energy is output as heat vs the energy output as light. In a standard incandescent light bulb about 10% of the energy is output as light while the other 90% is output as heat. This makes the bulb only 10% efficient. For a florescent bulb the output of light is about 50% and the other 50% is output in heat. This means that a fluorescent bulb outputs five times as much light for the same wattage as a standard incandescent bulb, hence you can get the equivalent of 100 watts of light output for only 20 watts of electricity.


What will happen if a light bulb gets too much electricity?

If its an incandescent bulb the filament burns out; depending on the voltage put through the bulb (and the operating voltage of the bulb) the results can be quite spectacular. Normally the filament will burn out with a bright flash, if the voltage is high enough the bulb may explode.

How much does it cost to run a 12V bulb?

The cost of electricity varies from country to country and between suppliers. Consumers can also have different tariffs so that it is cheaper to use electricity at times when others are not using it. There is, therefore, no simple answer.


How much electricity costs when a light bulb is on for a long period of time?

The cost of electricity for a light bulb being on for a long time depends on the wattage of the bulb, the electricity rate per kilowatt-hour, and the duration it is on. To calculate the cost, you can use the formula: (Wattage of bulb / 1000) * hours on * cost per kilowatt-hour.


How much electricity does a plugged-in lamp use?

The amount of electricity a plugged-in lamp uses depends on its wattage. A typical 60-watt bulb, if left on for one hour, uses 0.06 kilowatt-hours of electricity.
