The wattage of a squiggly light bulb is dependent on its size and brightness. Generally speaking, squiggly light bulbs range from 5 watts to 15 watts. Here is a list of the wattage for the most common sizes of squiggly light bulbs:
- 2.5 Watt: Ideal for low-light applications
- 5 Watt: Ideal for accent lighting and task lighting
- 7 Watt: Ideal for mood lighting and for general lighting
- 9 Watt: Ideal for general lighting and for brighter task lighting
- 11 Watt: Ideal for brighter general lighting and for brighter mood lighting
- 15 Watt: Ideal for brighter general lighting and for brighter mood lighting
The wattage of a squiggly light bulb can vary depending on the manufacturer, so it's important to check the label of the bulb for its exact wattage.

Is a watt a light bulb?
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.
How much does a light bulb change the temperature of a room?
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.
Why is 60 watts written on the bulb?
The 60 watts on the bulb indicates the power or energy consumption of the light bulb. It tells you how much electricity the bulb consumes to produce light, helping you to choose the right bulb for your lighting needs and to ensure you are using the appropriate wattage for your fixture to prevent damage.
How much wattage does a light bulb need?
Also CFL and LED light bulbs use much less actual wattage than their equivalent wattage. It is best to look at the datasheet for each individual type of light bulb. They can vary from milliwatts to kilowatts, depending on the purpose the light bulb was intended for.
What does the wattage of a bulb indicate?
The power rating of light bulbs tells how much electric energy in watts the bulb consumes when burning. As an aside, a rule of thumb for estimating how much you are paying to burn a light bulb for a year, the number of watts equals the number of dollars. So if you burn a 40 watt bulb for a year it costs about $40. If only at night cut that in half and say it costs $20. If you burn 5 of the bulbs all year it's $200

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.

How much eletricity does a light bulb take?
The amount of electrical energy it uses in a fixed time is the power, measured in watts, that should be marked on the light bulb when it's bought.
Why is 60 watts written on the bulb?
The 60 watts on the bulb indicates the power or energy consumption of the light bulb. It tells you how much electricity the bulb consumes to produce light, helping you to choose the right bulb for your lighting needs and to ensure you are using the appropriate wattage for your fixture to prevent damage.
How much energy does a 5 watt light bulb produce?
None. But it does convert 5 watts of electrical power (energy per unit time) into 5 watts of [light + thermal] power.
How much energy to produce one light?
Lights vary tremendously in power, but the normal incandescent bulb takes 100 watts. Low energy bulbs can give the same light at 20 watts
How much horsepower is in a 270 watt light bulb?
To convert watts to horsepower, you can use the conversion factor where 1 horsepower is approximately equal to 746 watts. Therefore, a 270-watt light bulb would have about 0.362 horsepower (270 watts ÷ 746 watts/hp). This is a very small amount of horsepower, as light bulbs are primarily designed for illumination rather than mechanical work.
How much energy is used by a streetlight per hour?
Yes, that's the question. A 1000 Watt light uses... 1000 Watts. A 500 Watt light uses, you guessed it... 500 watts. It depends on the size of the bulb. ACTUALLY... Watts are a measure of power, Joules are the measure of energy - you can simply convert watts/hour or watts/second to joules but to say that a 1000 Watt light bulb uses 1000 watts is a ridiculous thing to say =D watts are Wh-1 or Ws-1
What is the power of a light bulb?
Every person has a different power of light bulb. In my room, I have a 7.5 and a whole bunch of 60s. The number of watts you choose for your light bulb depends on how bright you want your light to be. The higher the number, the brighter it is.
Does a lighting fixture use watts or is it the bulb that uses watts because my fixture says 660 watts but the CFL bulb is only 23 watts?
The watts determine how much energy is taken and how much heat is produced. You need to look at the lumens to see how much light is produced. CFLs produce 4-5 times more lumens than incandescent bulbs, or 3-4 times more than halogens, for the same power in watts.
How much wattage does a light bulb need?
Also CFL and LED light bulbs use much less actual wattage than their equivalent wattage. It is best to look at the datasheet for each individual type of light bulb. They can vary from milliwatts to kilowatts, depending on the purpose the light bulb was intended for.
