I wish to thank everyone who has answered. Everyone is unanimous that 0.1 amps * 16 volts = 1.6 watts.
That is how much power the BULB is drawing from the TRANSFORMER. But how many watts is the 300 watt TRANSFORMER drawing from the WALL to provide that 1.6 watts on the secondary? Thank you for your patience.
