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 energy does a nightlight use compared to a 100 watt bulb?
An incandescent nightlight bulb is either 4 watt or 7 watt. A 4 watt bulb uses 1/25th (0.04) the power of a 100 watt bulb. A 7 watt bulb uses 7/100th (0.07) the power of a 100 watt bulb. There are LED and other types of nightlights that use much less power than this. To find the energy total used multiply the power (in watts) by the total time the light is on (in hours) to get energy (in Wh). If you want kWh divide this by 1000 as a watt is 1/1000th of a kW.
Is there a danger of using higher watt compact fluorescent bulbs in a lamp for example 100 watt equivalent vs 60 watt equivalent?
Not in the least, and you will still save money. A 100W equivalent will use only 20 to 25 watts, well below the 60W rating of your fixture. Much of the 60W used by the incandecent bulb is dissipated in heat. This is where the danger in over-watting fixtures lies.
Can you use a 100 watt HPS bulb in a 70 watt hps fixture?
In general no, because the extra heat produced would make it a fire hazard.
How do energy efficient light bulbs work?
Light bulbs always use energy. Therefore to save energy they should be switched off. But certain types of bulb use much less energy than others: Incandescent: 10 lumens per watt Halogen: 13 lumens per watt Fluorescent: 50-60 lumens per watt (cheap to buy) LED: 50-70 lumens per watt (expensive to buy)
Can you use a 65 watt fluorescent bulb in a metal halide light fixture?
No, the ballast's output is not matched to operate a fluorescent bulb.
What watt fluorescent bulb can you use to replace a 60watt incandescent bulb?
fluorescents are about 5x as efficientso a 12W will give about as much light
How many kWh will a 32 watt fluorescent bulb use?
A 32 watt bulb uses 32 watt-hours, or 0.032 kWh, every hour it is used.
Can you use 40 watt in a fluorescent light in place of a 32?
Yes, the wattage is just the power consumption. A 30 watt Fluorescent will give more or less the same light as a incandescent bulb or 60 watts, which is the limit for your fixture for incandescent bulbs.
Which would use more energy a 50 watt bulb or a 75 watt bulb?
A 75 bulb will use more electricity.
Can I use a 60 watt bulb in a 75 watt bulb ceiling fan?
Yes.
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.
Can you use a 70 watt high pressure sodium bulb in a 150 watt ballast?
No, you can not use a 150 watt high pressure sodium bulb with a 70 watt ballast.
What is the highest watt headlight bulb that you can use in a 2000 Mazda 323?
The highest watt headlight bulb you can use in a 2000 Mazda 323 is 65 watts. Most vehicles use a 55 watt bulb.
Can you use a 65 watt bulb instead of the recommended 55 watt bulb?
If you dont mind splodey light bulb.
Can you use a 67 watt light bulb in place of a 60 watt bulb?
It is not recommended to use a 67 watt bulb in place of a 60 watt bulb as the higher wattage could potentially cause overheating issues. It is best to stick with the recommended wattage for the fixture to ensure safety and proper functionality.
How do you use the word dimmer in a sentence?
A 40 watt bulb is dimmer than a 100 watt bulb.
