like what is the difference between 60, 75, and 100 watts? Does 100 watts last longer? Or is it just brighter? Or both?

That tells you only its power consumption. Lifetime is a separate design criterion. All 60-watt incandescent bulbs will produce about the same amount of light, but much less light than a 60-watt fluorescent or compact fluorescent.

A watt is a unit of potential that's maximum purely defined as warmth... the better the warmth fee(wattage) the extra suitable resistance to modern-day pass .. working example one hundred watts = I amps xE(120vac) fixing for i one hundred/a hundred and twenty=.80 3 amp 60 watts= I amps x E(120vac) fixing for i 60 / a hundred and twenty = .5 amps with the aid of fact the fee at which electric powered modern-day passes in the course of the filament will improve the brightness/ its stands to reason that for a brighter mild it takes extra capability... maximum designers use the first lumen according to watt primary for describing the foot-candle potential of any lamp.. there ya bypass from the E....have a powerful one

the more the watts, the brighter it will be.

It is all to do with brightness.I do not think that this has any signifance to their life span.All bulbs blow and thats is a fact.
