An electrical watt is a measure of power. A 40 watt light bulb uses 40 watts of electrical power. It has a relative measure of twice the light output of a 20 watt bulb and one half the output of an 80 watt bulb.
A 40 watt bulb uses 40 Joules of energy each second, or 40 watt-hours of energy each hour. In 1000 hours it uses 40 kilowatt-hours or Units of electrical energy.

Can you put a 7 watt bulb in a 40 watt socket?
Yes if it fits. The 40 watts would be an upper limit.
How many watts is light bulb 120 VAC 60Hz 300mA?
Multiply the current by the voltage: 120 times 0.3, which is 40 watts.
How do you work out how many amps a forty watt bulb uses?
To calculate the amperage of a 40-watt bulb, you need to use the formula: Amps = Watts / Volts. If the bulb operates at 120 volts (standard for US households), the amperage will be 0.33 amps (40 watts / 120 volts).
Can I use a higher wattage bulb in a lamp that states 40 watts?
You should not use a higher wattage bulb in a lamp that says 40 watts. The higher wattage could cause the lamp to catch fire due to the excess heat and could cause you serious electrical problems.
How may watts is 400 lumens?
It is not possible to directly convert lumens to watts because they measure different things - lumens measure brightness while watts measure power consumption. The relationship between lumens and watts depends on the efficiency of the light source.
