Photons released by the bulb

Given that only about 10% of the energy of incandescent bulbs is converted into visible light and assuming that each photon carries an energy E, compute I the total number of photons emitted by the 100 Watt bulb during each response time of the eye. Give your answer in terms of numerical values and the one unknown variable E.
