Compare lumen with the wattage of LED lighting

Compare lumen with the wattage of LED lighting 

LED lamps use much less power compared to a normal lamp. This is the reason that LED lamps are not expressed in Watts alone. If you have never bought an LED lamp this can be quite difficult. You want to replace your old lamp with LED, but you have no idea how many lumens you need. Fortunately for most lamps, the specifications state how many Watts the number of lumens has been converted. You have an idea of how much light your new lamp will give. By converting lumen into Watt, you can really compare the lamps with a low-energy lamp or halogen lamp.

Lumen versus Watt

By also looking at the lumen you get an idea of the amount of light that the lamp is going to give. If you are going to replace a particular light bulb, you know exactly which bulb you need. Most households use a 40-watt light bulb in the home. With a light bulb of 40 Watt, you need between 400 and 500 lumens for LED. Do you have a 25 Watt light bulb? Between 200 and 300 lumens in LED is sufficient. This comes to around 2-3 watts for LED lighting. As a rule of thumb you can hold around x 10. 25W x 10 = 250 lumens, this is approximately true. 

Less light than normal

It can happen that an LED lamp gives less light than the manufacturer promised. Suppose you now have a light bulb of 40 Watt and you take a 400 lumen LED lamp. Then it could very well be that the lamp gives less light than you are used to. We recommend that you take a little more lumen than the manufacturer indicates. You are always in the right place with the choice of an LED lamp. Click here for more information.
