The actual amount of light (lumens) given off by a bulb depends on the how the bulb was made and with what materials. It depends on the filament material, its length and thickness, and the type of gas in the bulb. As a rule, longer lasting bulbs of the same wattage will generally be less bright than others and brighter bulbs of the same wattage will not last as long as other bulbs.

Sample lumen outputs:

  • Sylvania 250 Watt Indoor Soft White 3-Way Bulb can emit 3940 lumens at its highest setting.
  • Philips 250 Watt 120 to 130V PAR38 Krypton Flood Bulb emits 3100 lumens

How many watts does a 'dim bulb' produce?

The wattage on a bulb measures how much electricity it uses, not its output. What you need for output is lumens. How that is related to wattage depends on what sort of bulb it is. An old fashioned incandescent tungsten bulb converts only about five percent of the energy to light, so a 40 watt bulb gives 400 lumens whereas 'energy saving' cfl ones are much more efficient so you only need 9 watts for the same brightness. Led's and halogen bulbs are different again. All types of fitting come in a range of brightnesses. It also depends on what you consider 'dim'. I'd find an incandescent 60 watt bulb in my living room far too dim, and a 40 watt one useless. Other people are happy with 60 watts.

What is the efficiency of a fluorescent light bulb?

LEDs are solid-state lights that use light-emitting diodes as the source of light. They are semiconductors that glow when electricity is applied to it. The efficancy of LED package & products depends on many factors, which range from electrical effciency to internal quantum efficiency to spectral efficiency. http://www.emotiveearth.com.au/


When did Edison invent the long lasting light bulb?

Oh, what a happy little question! Thomas Edison invented the long-lasting light bulb in 1879. He worked hard and tried many different materials before finding the right one that would glow for a long time. Just like in painting, sometimes it takes a few tries before we create something truly wonderful.
