Open Question: Electricity Efficiency Percentage Question?

Open Question: Electricity Efficiency Percentage Question?

15 minutes is 0.25 hours
100W is 0.1 kW.
So the bulb CONSUMES (0.25 * 0.1) kWh = 0.025 kWh

If the bulb PRODUCES 0.0015kWh of light energy, the efficiency is equal to:

energy produced divided by energy consumed = 0.0015 / 0.025 = 0.06

expressed as a percentage this is = 6% efficient (not very good efficiency !)
