Bulbs for domestic use are available between 3 watts and 100 watts. Bulbs used in large areas such as theatres and street lighting can be up to 2 kilowatts.

Answer

A lamp doesn't 'use' power, it uses energy. Power simply tells you the rate at which it consumes energy. So, you can ask how powerful a lamp is, but you can't ask how much power it uses!

What is the power rating of lights?

The power rating of the bulb indicates how much power it uses. The power in watts indicates how much energy in Joules the bulb uses in one second. A bulb should have its voltage and power printed on it.


How much power does a light bulb use when it is turned on?

When a light bulb is turned on, it uses a certain amount of power, measured in watts. The power consumption of a light bulb can vary depending on its wattage, with higher wattage bulbs using more power. For example, a 60-watt bulb uses 60 watts of power when turned on.


What does the number on the top of a light bulb indicate?

The number on the top of a light bulb indicates the wattage of the bulb, which is a measure of the amount of power the bulb consumes. This can give you an idea of how bright the light will be and how much energy it will use.

How much energy does a nightlight use compared to a 100 watt bulb?

An incandescent nightlight bulb is either 4 watt or 7 watt. A 4 watt bulb uses 1/25th (0.04) the power of a 100 watt bulb. A 7 watt bulb uses 7/100th (0.07) the power of a 100 watt bulb. There are LED and other types of nightlights that use much less power than this. To find the energy total used multiply the power (in watts) by the total time the light is on (in hours) to get energy (in Wh). If you want kWh divide this by 1000 as a watt is 1/1000th of a kW.
