A 1kW lightbulb is rather bright and not used in homes, more so in studios. A better comparison might be 10 100W bulbs or maybe an average chandelier.

- Reason077 10y agoEven 100W bulbs are pretty rare now days (illegal in the EU), replaced with LED versions that consume far less energy. 4.5 kWh is really a tremendous amount of energy just to refine a single gallon of gasoline. And it's energy that's completely lost, just converting hydrocarbons from one form into another. By putting that energy directly into electric vehicles instead, you'd be able to power around half of all the vehicles on the road!
