How may watts does a 60-watt light bulb use in three hours?
60*3=180watts?
60*3=180watts?

how can i convert that to amps?

Uh... hmm. This is true (as a simplification) in this case, but is not always true.They both stay constant and do not change with time.
Not neccessarily. Depends on the country.To find the amps, divide by the watts by 120.
Wattage refers to the amount of energy a light bulb uses, while lumens refer to the amount of light output. A higher wattage does not necessarily mean a brighter light; instead, it indicates how much energy the bulb consumes. Lumens, on the other hand, directly measure the brightness of the light bulb.
The best wattage for your light fixture depends on the size and purpose of the room. A general rule of thumb is to multiply the square footage of the room by 1.5 to determine the ideal wattage. For example, a 100 square foot room would require a 150-watt bulb.
No, it is not recommended to use a higher wattage bulb than what is recommended for your fixture. This could lead to overheating and potentially cause a fire hazard. Always follow the recommended wattage for your light fixture.
Incandescent bulbs typically have higher wattage than LED bulbs because they produce light by heating a filament, which requires more energy. LED bulbs, on the other hand, use semiconductor technology to produce light and are more energy-efficient, requiring lower wattage to produce the same amount of light.
Yes, lower wattage bulbs can save energy and money. The lower the wattage, the less energy the bulb consumes, resulting in lower electricity bills. Additionally, using energy-efficient bulbs such as LED can also save money in the long run due to their longer lifespan.
