The wattage of a lamp is normally written on it.
If you need to work it out you can measure the voltage across the lamp then measure the current passing through it.
Multiplying the voltage by the number of amps will give you the wattage.
You should not use a higher wattage bulb in a lamp that says 40 watts. The higher wattage could cause the lamp to catch fire due to the excess heat and could cause you serious electrical problems.
LEDs and CFLs use about a quarter of a halogen so the answer is 35-40 watts.
No, you should not use a helical 26 watt bulb that gives off 100 watts of light in a lamp that warns against using bulbs over 60 watts. This could lead to overheating and potentially cause damage to the lamp or pose a safety hazard. It's best to follow the manufacturer's guidelines for wattage to ensure the safe operation of the lamp.
You can determine the amps of any power consuming source by dividing the watts by the volts. Example: If the bulb is 60 watts and your volts are 120, then 60/120 = .5 amps. Or you could use an amp probe.
A 20 watt 12 volt lamp will consume 20 watts of power per hour. The wattage represents the amount of power consumed by the lamp, and the 12 volts indicates the voltage at which it operates.
6 watt bulb for mini lamp
The usual criteria is that the larger the envelope size of the lamp the larger the wattage of the lamp. The terminology of "big bulbs" suggests that the lamp could be in the range of 400 watts.
You should not use a higher wattage bulb in a lamp that says 40 watts. The higher wattage could cause the lamp to catch fire due to the excess heat and could cause you serious electrical problems.
the bulb is usually 30 or 40 watts
The number of watts a lamp uses when turned on depends on the type and wattage of the bulb. Common incandescent bulbs typically range from 40 to 100 watts, while LED bulbs are more energy-efficient and can range from 4 to 20 watts.
220 lumens is equal to a tungsten incandescent light bulb of 15 watts. Halogen lamp 20 watts. Fluorescent lamp 60 watts. LED lamp 60 watts. high pressure sodium vapour lamp 117 watts. Mercury vapour lamp 50 watts or 17.32 candle power

A lamp post produces exactly zero watts, just like my computer produces zero watts. It is a user of electricity, not a producer. The amount of electricity used will depend on the bulb that is used in the lamp post.
A 20 watt 12 volt lamp will consume 20 watts of power per hour. The wattage represents the amount of power consumed by the lamp, and the 12 volts indicates the voltage at which it operates.
40 watts is 40 watts, that is what you are paying for. However, an incandescent bulb uses the 40 watts to make light and heat. The compact bulbs make more light and less heat for the same wattage. To actually save, choose a lower wattage that will give acceptable light levels.
