40 watts of consumed power. The light output may be greater with one compared to the other, but wattage alone does not give us that information. Electric heaters, for example, consume 1500 watts of power and produce almost no visible light.

Check the Lumen's. That is where the difference is.
Current draw and light output.
A 60 watt bulb uses 60 watts of electricity (i.e. it converts 60 joules of energy per second), a 100 watt bulb converts 100 joules per second. Electrical power is measured in watts. Since a 60 watt bulb pulls less energy to it than a 100 watt bulb the 60 watt bulb will not be as bright.
Resistance.
Just in the amount of power used and the brightness of the bulb. The 60 watt bulb might be a bit smaller.

What it is the difference between 100 watts and 75 watt light bulb?

The main difference between a 100-watt and a 75-watt light bulb is the amount of light output they produce. A 100-watt bulb will be brighter and consume more energy compared to a 75-watt bulb. The 100-watt bulb may also generate more heat than the 75-watt bulb.

Does a 100 watt bulb produce more heat than a 25 watt light bulb?

Yes, a 100 watt bulb produces more heat than a 25 watt bulb because the higher the wattage, the more energy is being converted into heat. In this case, the 100 watt bulb will generate more heat compared to the 25 watt bulb.


What percentage is a 100 watt light bulb brighter than a 60 watt light bulb?

Original answer: Because it gives off more power. Updated answer: In general, because the 100-watt bulb produces more total light (lumens) because it also consumes more power than the 60-watt bulb. However, a 60-watt can produce more lumens than a 100-watt bulb, depending on the types of bulbs in question.


What does the difference between between a 60-watt and a 100-watt light bulb describe?

Those numbers describe the power used by the two bulbs, in other words how many joules of electrical energy they use per second. The 100 watt bulb uses 40 watts more.


What does the difference between a 60 watt and a 100 watt bulb describe?

The difference between a 60 watt and a 100 watt bulb is the amount of power each consumes and the brightness they produce. A 100 watt bulb consumes more energy and therefore produces more light than a 60 watt bulb. This can impact the brightness and energy efficiency of the lighting.


What is the brightness level of a 25 watt LED bulb equivalent?

The brightness level of a 25 watt LED bulb is equivalent to that of a 100 watt incandescent bulb.
