Two lumens of light is twice as much as one lumen of light, but it will not look twice as bright. This is because human perception of brightness is not linear, but follows a logarithmic pattern. The subject is very complex but generally twice as much light will only look about 30% brighter. To find out more search for "Weber-Fechner law", "Stevens' power law" and "perception of brightness".

How many watts equal 35 lumen's?
There is no direct conversion for this, because these are two separate things. Watts is actual power usage. "Lumens" is how much light is provided from a specified amount of power. The typical light bulb converts some of the electricity driven through it into light, and the rest into heat. The more efficient the light bulb, the less power per lumen will be required.That is why newer bulbs can be purchased that are 13 watts and advertised as equivalent to 60 watt incandescent bulbs - the light output is roughly equivalent (lumens), but the power usage is substantially different.
How many lumens in 40 watt fluorescent tube bulb?
There is no fixed relationship between the brightness (lumens / candela) of a light source, and its power consumption (watts). Incandescent bulbs have a low luminous output for their power consumption, Compact Fluorescent Lamps are intermediate, and LED's are the most efficient in today's world.
What unit is the electrical power of light bulbs measured in?
I dont know i sorry some idiot changed the answer it was a awfull answer so please dont get up set about not finding ur answer....
What are two advantages of solar power?
1. You don't have to pay for sunlight. 2. The sun will be bright and hot for a very long time.
How do you get two bright lights and one dim light without a resistor?
1. Use 3 lightbulbs, with a 3 way switch. 2. Use 1 3-way lightbulb with a 3 way switch. 3. Use a diode in series with one bulb to dim it. 4. Use a silicon-controlled rectifier (SCR) with a simple circuit to cut out a certain percentage of each AC wave.
How many lumens make 1 ANSI Lumens?
One lumen makes up 1 ANSI lumen as they both measure the same output of light. ANSI lumens are used exclusively for measuring the output of projectors.
How many lumens per watt?
161 lumens I believe the above answer to be inaccurate. It depends on the light source. For example: For an incandescent light bulb 1 watt it is approx. 18 Lumens. However most LED's use only about 10% the wattage to produce the same amount of light. So for LED's .1 watt produces 18 Lumens.
How bright is a 300 lumen flashlight?
it is hard to describe by words, why not to buy an infinite bright flashlight to compare. I know a flahslight with displaying lumens. It is DDT40 imalent. from 5 lumens to 4000 lumens you could find a way to compare gradually. by the way, one lightening candle is a lumens.

How many lumens in one LED?
A LUMEN is a unit of measurement of light. It measures light much the same way. Remember, a foot-candle is how bright the light is one foot away from the source. A lumen is a way of measuring how much light gets to what you want to light! A LUMEN is equal to one foot-candle falling on one square foot of area. So, if we take your candle and ruler, lets place a book at the opposite end from the candle. We'd have a bit of a light up if we put the book right next to the candle, you know. If that book happens to be one foot by one foot, it's one square foot. Ok, got the math done there. Now, all the light falling on that book, one foot away from your candle equals both…….1 foot candle AND one LUMEN
How many lumens does a flashlight with a 1 watt LED have?
The maximum lumens that a 1-watt LED flashlight can have now is 160.
How many lux in a 1000 watt bulb?
Incandescent bulbs give about 10 lumens of light per watt of electric power Halogens give about 13 lumens per watt CFLs give about 50 lumens per watt So it depends on the type of bulb.
How many lumens are in a 20 watt halogen bulb?
The lumen output of the bulb should be determined by measuring the Lumens exiting the fixture that it is installed in. The reflector, lens and housing will all affect the the amount of "light" that exits the fixture to reach the space you are intending to illuminate. Bulbs will vary and Lumens will vary based upon the voltage. A typical 12V 20W Halogen bulb will yield about 180-220 lumens depending on the lens (clear vs. frosted) and the reflector type. Lumens will drop as voltage goes below 12Volts as the design voltage is specified in order to "excite" the halogen gas as it reacts with a tungsten coated filament. If the voltage isn't high enough the filament won't reach it's design temperature and the light won't burn as bright as it was designed to. a lone bulb will yield up to 280-300 Lumens with now housing, lens or fixture but it is also very dangerous due to the heat hazard.
How many times brighter will a star be than an identical star that's twice as far away?
4 times as bright. This is calculated as 1/22.
How fast do the lumens decrease in an incandescent bulb?
Very quickly, less than 1/10 second. Incandescent bulbs produce only about 10 lumens per watt of power, with the halogen type producing abiut 1 lumens/watt. Low-energy bulbs and LEDs produce about 50-60 lumens per watt.
What is measured in lumens?
Lumens is a measure of light flux, so is independent of the area. It is essentially the amount of light available. So think of a bright light. It has a fixed amount of lumens, regardless of how near or far you are. Lux is the light level at a surface. If you think of a light bulb, the lux will vary with the distance from the light source because the light spreads out. 1 lux = 1 lumen per sq meter. Most light meters read out in lux, which is a measure of the brightness at a surface. You will measure more luxes when you are closer to the bulb, than when farther away. Suppose you are measuring a compact flourescent lightbulb (CFL), which is roughly cylindrical in shape. You use your light meter and read 1000 foot-candles at about 1/2" from the lightbulb. How do you compute the lumens of the lightbulb? (1) Convert the foot-candles to lux: 1000 foot-candles = 10764 lux (2) Compute the area over which that lux value applies. This is roughly a cylinder that is 1/2 inch bigger in all directions from the bulb. So measure the bulb. We are going to convert all of our measurements into metric units. 1/2 inch = 0.0127 meters bulb height = 9 cm or 0.09 m bulb radius = 2 cm or 0.02 m inflated height = h = 0.09 m + 2 * 0.0127 m = 0.1154 m inflated radius = r = 0.02 m + 0.0127 m = 0.0327 m area_of_cylinder = 2*pi*r*(r+h) = 2 * 3.14 * 0.0327 *(0.0327 + 0.1154) = 0.03 m^2 (3) Compute the total lumens of the bulb: bulb_lumens = 10764 lux * 0.03 m^2 = 327.5 lumens. Notes: a) If your bulb is more like a sphere, you should use the formula for the surface area of a sphere rather than a cylinder. b) When measuring the lux or foot-candles of the bulb, you should measure at several locations and average the number. c) If you measure from a large distance away from the bulb, then you can ignore the size of the bulb in your calculations.
What is the difference between LED and incandescent lights?
Incandescents tend to be less efficient and use more electricity. A lot of the energy used tends to be converted to heat, rather than light. Fluorescents tend to give you more light for the buck! They run less hot, which tends to mean that more energy is being converted to light, rather than heat. Compact fluorescent bulbs (CFBs) are a good alternative to incandescent bulbs. They have the same type of sockets, so no rewiring is needed, and they cost much less to use while giving out the same amount of light. Their price is going down substantially, and most use very little, if any, mercury.
