The maximum lumens that a 1-watt LED flashlight can have now is 160.
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.
There is aluminum reflector around the LED source to firect the beam of the flashlight.
For comparable lumens you pay less for energy efficient bulbs. For example, a typical 75 watt incandescent bulb provides about 850 lumens. The same light from an LED bulb would only consume about 12 watts. So even though the LED costs more to buy, it costs only about 16% of the cost of a comparable incandescent to operate.
I cannot tell you as this will vary from brand to brand of LED lightbulbs. Look on the package for the "equivalent wattage" rating and buy bulbs rated at 60W equivalent. You should not need to change the fixture, just put LED lightbulbs in the one you already have.
Battery (chemical energy) goes to the wires (electrical energy) which goes to the light bulb (thermal and electromagnetic energy. In the bulb of a traditional flashlight, electric current energy is transformed to heat and then partially to light, when the temperature of the filament in the bulb is sufficient. In an LED type flashlight, little heat is produced and more of the electrical current energy is transformed into light.
1800lumens per watt
About 80 lumens per watt of electric power is normal for LEDs.
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.
LEDs use the smallest amount of electrical power to produce a given amount of light. Approximate data: Incandescent 12 lumens per watt Halogen: 15-17 lumens per watt CFL: 50 lumens per watt LED: 80 lumens per watt Sodium lights as used in street lighting produce 100-200 lumens per watt.
The main types are: Incandescent 10 lumens per watt Halogen 13 lumens per watt Fluorescent 40-50 lumens per watt LED 40-60 lumens per watt Lumens measures the brightness, watts measures the electric power used.
Incandescents produce 10 lumens per watt, halogens about 13 lumens per watt, fluorescents and LEDs 40-50 lumens per watt. Lumens measure the brightness, watts measure the speed at which electrical energy is used.
From halogen to LED you can divide by 4 to find the equivalent. Therefore an 80 watt LED would do the job.
Compact fluorescent bulbs are widely used because they use one fifth of the electric power to provide the same amount of light as an incandescent bulb. Incandescent: 12 lumens per watt Halogen: 15 lumens per watt CFL: 50-60 lumens per watt LED: 100 lumens per watt High-pressure sodium: 200 lumens per watt
Currently maximum LED luminous efficiency is about 114 lumens/W, measured at 50mA. Average luminous efficiency is about 104 lumens/W. Ordinary LED light effect is about 60 lumens / W. 18W is about 130 lumens is about 1080 lumens.
Bulb brightness is measured in lumens which express the amount of light produced, while the electric power used is measured in watts. The typical efficiency of some different types of bulb is: Incandescent 12 lumens per watt Halogen 17 lumens per watt CFL (compact fluorescent) 50-60 lumens/watt LED (light-emitting diodes) 90-100 lumens/watt.
lumenicity (how much light something gives off) is not directly related to power. A 60 watt LED will give off more light than a 60 watt incandescent. You should check the manufacturers information. Light.com (first one to show up in my google search) specifies a 500 lumen 8 watt LED. the 52W incandescent "soft white" bulbs I have on many dimmers in my home put of 710 lumens as a comparison.
LEDs don't use any power, or they are at least 10 times more efficient than any other kind of lighting. LEDs are about 15 percent more efficient than fluorescent lights, and six times as efficient as incandescent - and rapidly improving. LEDs are on an impressive development path. In just the past year, we have seen commercially available dies move from 65 lumens per watt to over 90 lumens per watt. Within the next five to seven years, there seems to be a clear path past 150 lumens per watt and a reasonable expectation of approaching 200 lumens per watt. represents a tremendous opportunity to provide a real alternative to fluorescent lighting. Note that these LED efficiencies then need to be combined with power conversion circuitry efficiencies, optical efficiencies, etc., to come up with a total LED lighting system efficacy. For example, a product using a 90 lumens per watt LED may have a total system efficiency of 60 lumens per watt when everything is accounted for. Unfortunately, it is common today to find an LED product advertising well over 100 lumens per watt, leading to buyer disappointment.
