Hey mate,here is your answer :
It would be possible to measure the amount of energy emanating from the lightbulb over time if desired (a photometer or similar device could be used). As to your question, according to the law of conservation of energy for an isolated system (say, our lightbulb and the area immediately around it), energy is conserved in the system over time. By Noether's theorem, continuous time translation symmetry (which exists in this situation, the local curvature of spacetime is negligible) implies that the energy in this system is conserved. As such, no energy is leaking into another time dimension (we are currently unaware of any additional time dimensions anyhow). The law of conservation of energy is fundamentally defined by the passage (and symmetry) of one time dimension.
Hope this answer helps you !!
