What energy is produced by a 150 w lightbulb lit for 4.6 hours

Light nulbs do not "produce" energy.

When YOU bring electrical energy from somewhere and pour it through the light bulb, the bulb turns some of it into light energy and the rest into heat energy .

(150 W) x (4.6 hr) =690 watt-hrs

or 0.69

W = Pt

W = 150 x (4.6 x 3600) = 2.484 x 10⁶ J
