Best Answer

"Wattless power" refers to the reactive power in an electrical circuit that does not perform useful work, such as magnetizing a motor or generating a magnetic field. It is measured in units of volt-amperes reactive (VAR) and is necessary for maintaining voltage levels in the grid but does not contribute to real power consumption.

How much energy does a nightlight use compared to a 100 watt bulb?

An incandescent nightlight bulb is either 4 watt or 7 watt. A 4 watt bulb uses 1/25th (0.04) the power of a 100 watt bulb. A 7 watt bulb uses 7/100th (0.07) the power of a 100 watt bulb. There are LED and other types of nightlights that use much less power than this. To find the energy total used multiply the power (in watts) by the total time the light is on (in hours) to get energy (in Wh). If you want kWh divide this by 1000 as a watt is 1/1000th of a kW.
