If the question is what wattage compact fluorescent (CFL) lamp has a similar light output to an incandescent lamp of a given wattage, the ratio is usually about 4.

A 60W incandescent can be replaced by an 13-15 W CFL lamp.

A 60W CFL lamp can replace a 300W incandescent lamp.

What LED bulb same as 13 watt CFL?

A 13 watt CFL bulb is roughly equivalent to an 8 watt LED bulb in terms of light output. Look for an LED bulb with around 8-9 watts and a lumens (brightness) output of approximately 800-900 lm to match the brightness of a 13 watt CFL bulb.


How much wattage is in a CFL?

So to replace a traditional 60-watt bulb, buy a 15-watt CFL: 60-watt incandescent / 4 = 15 watts. Note: Some brands of 60-watt equivalent CFLs still do not seem to give off as much light as a 60watt incandescent bulb.


Can you use a 13 watt CFL bulb in place of a 60watt incandescent bulb?

no because it would blow up because the socket would draw 13 watt not 9 watt


How many lumens are in a 60 watt incandescent grow light?

It's about 600 lumens. The same brightness comes from a 12 Watt compact fluorescent light (CFL).


What size fluorescent bulb replaces a 60 watt incandescent bulb?

A 13-15 watt compact fluorescent bulb (CFL) or a 9-11 watt LED bulb is roughly equivalent to a 60 watt incandescent bulb in terms of light output.


How many lumens does a 42 watt CFL give off?

A 42 watt CFL bulb typically produces around 2800 to 3100 lumens of light output.


Can you replace a 60 watt incondescent light bulb with a 100 watt CFL?

You will have more light but at a lower cost. They produce much less heat so that wouldn't be a problem.


Can you use a 100 watt CFL in a fixture that says the bulb should not exceed 25 incandescent watts?

No, it is not recommended to use a 100 watt CFL in a fixture that specifies a maximum of 25 incandescent watts. CFL bulbs have different wattage equivalencies compared to incandescent bulbs, so you should use a CFL bulb that is equivalent to or lower than the specified incandescent wattage for the fixture. Using a higher wattage CFL bulb can cause overheating and potentially pose a fire hazard.


What compact fluorescent lamp bulb do you use to replace a standard 60 watt bulb?

A 20 watt CFL may fit into the 60-watt standard. But you should never fit one higher than the 60-watt, due to such a high fire hazard. It's not exactly the wattage but the heat coming from the bulb, so keep in mind not to go any higher than 60.


What is the lumen of 23 watt CFL?

A 23 watt cfl will give off roughly 1600 lumens. However that is only within a few inches of the bulb.


Why cfl is widely used nowadays?

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


What is the percentage of light output between CFL bulbs and an incandescent bulb?
