You don't say which type of bulb, so I'll cover a few. The U.S. Department of Energy says that as much as 90 percent of the energy generated by the filament in an incandescent light bulb is wasted.

Only 5W is actually producing light. If it is a quartz-halogen incandescent, then it is a bit more efficient.
