Is a 35 lumens bulb as bright as a 60 watts bulb?

Lumens measures how bright it is, watts measures how much electric power it uses up. An old-type incandescent bulb produces about 10 lumens per watt. A halogen produce about 13 lumens per watt. A fluorescent (energy saving) bulb produces about 50 lumens per watt. LEDs produce somewhere around the same as a fluorescent.

How many lumens in niterider firestorm hid light?

the NiteRider HID Firestorm produces 500 Lumens its bulb equals that of a 40watt incandesent bulb ,but with a much brighter white color


What is a lumen How does it relate to watts?

A lumen is a unit of luminous flux, which is the amount of light emitted per unit time. A watt is a unit of power (such as electrical power), which is the amount of energy consumed per unit time. Light bulbs have ratings in watts, which measures how much electricity they use, and lumens, which measures how much light they give off. For the same kind of bulb (incandescent, fluorescent, LED, etc.), a bulb with a higher wattage will produce more lumens. However, a 10-watt LED or compact fluorescent bulb may produce more lumens than a 40-watt incandescent bulb.


How much wattage does a 250w HPS bulb use?

hps light averages 125 lumens, therefore, a 150 watt hps light is about 18,750 lumens.


How bright is 400 lumens?

This is a bit less light than a 40W incandescent bulb (much less than a 9-watt CFL bulb, but twice as much as a 5-watt CFL mini-bulb).


How much energy does a CFL light bulb save versus an incandescent bulb?

About 80%. An incandescent bulb produces 12 lumens per watt, (15 for halogen) while a CFL produces about 60 lumens per watt.


How many lumens are in a 60 watt bulb?

That depends a LOT on the technology used - some technologies are much more efficient than other (converting a higher percentage of the power used into visible light).


Does a lighting fixture use watts or is it the bulb that uses watts because my fixture says 660 watts but the CFL bulb is only 23 watts?

The watts determine how much energy is taken and how much heat is produced. You need to look at the lumens to see how much light is produced. CFLs produce 4-5 times more lumens than incandescent bulbs, or 3-4 times more than halogens, for the same power in watts.


How much light does a 50w xenon bulb emit?

For a halogen xenon you'll get a max of about 30 lumens per watt, but more likely around 20. So for a 50 w you get around 1000 lumens.


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 to equal a watt?

Incandescent bulbs: 10 lumens per watt Halogens: 13 lumens per watt CFLs: 50 lumens per watt A useful bulb to light a small room is 600 lumens, so that would need a 60-watt incandescent, or a 45-watt halogen, or a 12-watt CFL energy-saving bulb. The best CFL bulbs are the spiral ones.
