Spotlights Electrical usage

Hi

In my study , kitchen and Bathroom i have three spotlights on aone centre light point. They each have three 60w bulbs. Do these draw 60w each or 60 w over the three bulbs.

If one blows do the otehr start taking a greater wattage or will my bill for that light fall by a third.

reason I am asking , is that th study has 2 bulbs working and is bright enough and I dont really want to replac ethe third cos it "looks nicer"

60W each.

Your consumption, and hence cost, will fall by a third.

Ill take put a dud one (thought it was good but isnt) I have in bathroom as well. therefore from 9 bulbs on spotlights i am down to 7 is around 23% saving on the leccy for the spotlights. I may even get away with one each in the Study/ Bathroom.

Hi,
There may be a problem if you have low-voltage lights all your lights run off a single transformer . Lamps will start failing prematurely.
