[su_posts posts_per_page=”1″ tax_term=”2703″ order=”desc” orderby=”rand”] Keeping this in consideration, how do I know what watt light bulb to use?
To chose a light bulb wattage, it is best to look on the lamp itself to see what wattage it suggests. If it does not have a label, consider the type of lamp you wish to light. If it is a desk lamp, no more than 40 watts will be fine, but if it is a standing lamp or outdoor, the wattage may be higher..
Likewise, how does a incandescent light bulb work? An incandescent bulb typically consists of a glass enclosure containing a tungsten filament. An electric current passes through the filament, heating it to a temperature that produces light. The enclosing glass enclosure contains either a vacuum or an inert gas to preserve and protect the filament from evaporating.
In this way, what is the LED equivalent of a 40 watt incandescent bulb?
Equivalent Wattages and Light Output of Incandescent, CFL, and LED Bulbs
| Light Output | LEDs | Incandescents |
|---|---|---|
| Lumens | Watts | Watts |
| 450 | 4-5 | 40 |
| 750-900 | 6-8 | 60 |
| 1100-1300 | 9-13 | 75-100 |
What does Watts mean for light bulbs?
Simply put, wattage is the amount of energy or electricity that the light bulb uses per hour. This goes without saying that the higher the wattage of the light bulb, the more energy or electricity it consumes. There are people who believe that the higher the watts, the brighter the light emitted by the bulb.
