100W is a lot. It is a couple of very old incandescent bulbs or ten 60W equivalent LED bulbs.

No, it’s ONE incandescent bulb.
And much less than the bulbs that were needed to light a fairly large room.
We used to have a lot of 100W lights until not many years ago, honestly I don’t see the problem in spending that amount of energy if you have no other means to access a fast internet connection.
perspective i guess - i used to use 2 100watt bulbs to light a single room.

For perspective, these will cost around $0.3 a day in electricity, when in the room you spend most of your time in.
And yes, that's easily over a hundred dollar a year.
