That is why a 100 Watt bulb burns brighter than a 60 Watt bulb.
The bulb is running AT 100 Watts from the moment of turn on.
If it ran for 10 hours, it would consume a Kilo-Watt Hour of power.

I must be dense because that doesnt make sense to me. 1 second for 100 watts = 360000 watts per hour? Or if I read a book for 5 hours under a 100 watt bulb, I would have consumed 500 watts, correct? which then would be 1Kwatt for 10 hours.
