Stupid question incoming guys, hoping somebody here knows more about than me 
Here goes,
If you're PC's idle power usage is say 50w, how does this compare to running a 50w light bulb?
Does the PC use more power than other 50w devices or would it draw the same.
Reason I ask is my kids sometimes put a film on in bed at night, fall alseep and the PC goes to idle, would this be similar to leaving a light on overnight or use more power, if both are 50w?
