The electricity used over the lifetime of a single incandescent bulb costs 5 to 10 times the original purchase price of the bulb itself. Light Emitting Diode (LED) and Compact Fluorescent Lights (CFL) bulbs have revolutionized energy-efficient lighting. CFLs are simply miniature versions of full-sized fluorescents.
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.
