What uses more energy a 60 watt light bulb or 18 watt light bulb?

This depends on how long it is being used. The 60 Watt bulb consumes 2.6667 times the power of an 18 Watt bulb, but energy equals power times time. There is also an amount of 'hidden' energy: the energy to manufacture and transport the bulb. This depends on how long it is being used.

Which is brighter 60 watts or 75 watts?

Watts aren't a unit of light. Previously, light bulbs could be rated based entirely on their energy consumption. A 60W light bulb consumes 60W, and produces light accordingly. A 75W light bulb consumes more power, and produces a little more light. Newer bulb technology like LEDs and CFLs consume less power, but produce a greater number of lumens (or candlepower). Thus, light bulbs are starting to display the lumens, one of the units for measuring light intensity. Note that the readings can be misleading, as the lumens shown may have a weird distance compared to other bulbs.


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
