How much light DOES it take to light up a black hole?
Answer: you can't fill up a black hole. A black hole is a singularity where there is literally no volume to it. It has mass, but you can't measure how "big" it is. If you don't have volume, you can't fill it up, since there is nothing to fill up. For a better explanation, go read Stephen Hawking's "A Brief History Of Time".

Black hole will pull the lights out with its gravity. Even if all the suns in the whole universe are combined to light up a black hole, it will remain black.

You can't light up a black hole -- all light would disappear in a black hole.

It depends on the candlepower and the ability of the 'Black Hole' to take the heat.

As much as the black hole can take.

To see something, light has to reflect off the object into your eye. Since a Black Hole absorbs light gravitationally, you can never "light it up"

You need at least a 60 watt bulb.

More. Always more. . . .
Any light that enters into the schwarzschild radius will only add to its mass.
