The goal of the input of a light bulb is to convert electrical energy into light energy. This process typically involves passing electric current through a filament or gas in the bulb, which generates heat and produces light. The efficiency of this conversion can vary depending on the type of light bulb, such as incandescent, LED, or fluorescent. Ultimately, the aim is to provide illumination for various spaces and activities.
Input to light bulb is Electricity and output is light.
The input of a light bulb is electricity, which powers the bulb, causing it to emit light as the output.
A light bulb can be considered an output device as it converts electrical energy into light energy. In the context of a system, the light bulb would typically be connected to an input device such as a switch or sensor that controls when the light bulb turns on or off. Therefore, while the light bulb itself is an output, its operation is often dependent on input signals.
A light bulb is an output device because it produces light when electricity is applied to it. It takes the input of electrical energy and converts it into light energy.
Because efficiency is measured in Output/input. At the same light bulb output, one with lesser energy input required is higher in efficiency. Possible confusion come from description of low energy light bulb without stated the high or low energy is compared at what lux it can produce light.
To calculate the efficiency of a light bulb, you would divide the light output (measured in lumens) by the power input (measured in watts). This will give you the number of lumens per watt, which is a measure of how efficiently the light bulb converts electricity into visible light. The higher the lumens per watt value, the more efficient the light bulb.
Use a small light bulb, such as 25-50 watt. Connect 120 VAC power to the big L1 terminal. Connect the big T1 terminal to the light bulb. Connect the neutral to the light bulb. The light bulb will be OFF. Connect another 120 VAC wire to the control input terminal #3. Connect another neutral to the control input terminal #4. The light bulb will now be ON.

Assuming that a sensor (any type, heat, light, sound etc) is connected to something - eg a computer or a switch etc. it is an 'input' device. The device which created whatever is being 'sensed' is an output device. For example if you put a thermometer next to a light bulb to see how hot it is then the bulb is 'output' and the thermometer is 'input'.
The more efficient bulb will produce less heat than the less efficient bulb. This is because a higher proportion of the energy input is converted into light output rather than wasted as heat.
No. A light bulb can only USE energy, it cannot STORE it. Before it can operate it needs to be given a supply of electrical energy and, from that input of energy, it produces outputs of energy in the form of heat and light.
The input energy of a fluorescent light bulb refers to the electrical energy it consumes when powered on. This energy is typically measured in watts (W) and can vary depending on the bulb's size and design, commonly ranging from about 15 to 40 watts for standard household bulbs. The energy is used to excite mercury vapor, which emits ultraviolet light that then excites phosphor coatings inside the bulb, producing visible light. Overall, fluorescent bulbs are more energy-efficient than traditional incandescent bulbs, providing more light output per watt consumed.
"60 watts" means "60 joules every second". That's what a '60 watt' bulb is designed to consume. If you put 100 joules of energy into a light bulb, 100 joules of energy are going to come out of it, one way or another. Either that energy will be converted into light and heat by the bulb's filament, or else it won't get consumed at all, and it'll come out the other side of the bulb and still be available for use in some other device. So, comparing output energy to input energy is not an effective way to evaluate the efficiency of a light bulb. What you need to do, in order to compare the economy and effectiveness of light bulbs, is to compare LIGHT output to input ENERGY.
