Does it matter what wattage bulb you use?

When it comes to the amount of light you get from an ampoule, the watts do not matter. The light is not measured in watts. It is measured in candles or lumens.

How many watts does a 40 watt bulb use in an hour?
The electricity company charges you on the consumed Watts (hours of kilowatts). An hour of kilowatts is 1000 watts per hour. Thus, a bulb of 40 watts (if rated at 110 volts) would use 40 watts per hour.
Can 120v bulb work on 220v?
Just to clarify a 120v NA bulb placed in a 220v European lamp in Europe. Would it work? No, unless you wanted to have a fast flash. However, you can use a 220240 Watt bulb in North America.
Do all light bulbs fit the same?
Nowadays, lamps are mainly light-emitting diodes (LEDs). LED lamps adapt to standard light sockets and are the choice of most energy-efficient lamps. They have a lower power than incandescent lamps, but emit the same light power. This allows them to produce the same amount of light, but use less energy.
Can you use a 75w LED bulb in 60w socket?
LED lamps that provide 800 lm are considered to have a luminous power equal to the standard 60W lamps. If the device is qualified to accept 60 Watt, you can safely use 75W, 100W, or even 125W equal lamps (which all generate less than 50 Watt of power).
Do you have to use a 3 way bulb in a 3 way lamp?
A 3-way lamp requires a 3-way lamp and a 3-way switch. Contrary to an incandescent lamp controlled by a dimmer, each filament works at full voltage, so that the colour of the light does not change between the three available light steps.
Can you use Hue bulbs in any lamp?
They don't work on dimmer switches or anything that may not provide 120v full constantly. I just tried to put two on my ceiling cameras and wouldn't work on either of the sockets. The same Hue lamps work well on other lamps, and the regular lamps work well on the ceiling mounting.
