None, since one does not normally "power" a solar panel.

However a single 7w lamp would be useable with a 5watt panel but with reduced efficiency unless the panel was used to charge a battery first and then the bulb was powered by the battery.

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 do you transfer watt to lumen?

When measuring light, the lumen and the watt both measure power -i.e. the rate at which electromagnetic energy is emitted (for visible light, this 'power' is termed 'luminous flux'). Although they are both SI units, one (the lumen) is used in the photometric system of measurement, whereas the other (the watt) is used in the radiometric system of measurement. Whereas the watt is used to measure the total rate at which electromagnetic energy is emitted from a light source, the lumen is used to measure only the visible part of the spectrum and, then, corrected for the sensitivity of the human eye (the eye is most sensitive to the green part of the visible spectrum. The watt, of course, can also be used to measure the input power to a lamp.In the radiometric system, the input and output powers of a light are each expressed in watts, but in the photometric system, the input power of a light is expressed in watts, but the output power (luminous flux) is expressed in lumens. The ratio of a light's output (in lumens) to input (in watts) power, is termed efficacy (NOT 'efficiency'), and it various according to the type of light. An incandescent lamp, for example, has an efficacy of up to about 15 lumens per watt, whereas a fluorescent lamp has an efficacy of around 50 or so lumens per watt.


Are 2 lumens of light twice as bright as 1?

Two lumens of light is twice as much as one lumen of light, but it will not look twice as bright. This is because human perception of brightness is not linear, but follows a logarithmic pattern. The subject is very complex but generally twice as much light will only look about 30% brighter. To find out more search for "Weber-Fechner law", "Stevens' power law" and "perception of brightness".


What does MWp stand for in respect with solar power plant?

It is the nominal output of a solar panel measured as maximum power output under standard test conditions (STC) in a laboratory with light intensity is 1000W/m2. Manufacturers advertise and sell modules based on this value for solar panel efficiency, which is known as "Nameplate Rating" of solar panels or arrays. Needless to mention that the actual power output of solar panel in real life conditions is usually less than the nominal power output. Since various factors like weather and climate or the angle of incidence of the sunlight on the panels affects solar panel efficiency.


Should solar panel KW capacity equal to the total KW loads?

The total kW load is only a guide to the solar panel capacity. Any energy generated by the solar panel will reduce the energy you draw from the grid, which leads directly to less CO2 output at the power plants. But the power plant is still needed for when there is a cloudy day. When it's cloudy the solar panel output is drastically reduced, although they still produce power, as the salesmen are keen to emphasize, but what they don't tell you is that the power output is reduced by about 95%. Also, in many countries, if your panels generate excess electricity you sell it back to the grid, so the capacity of the panels is not critical.

How much candle power in 360 lumen?

Lumen and candlepower are not the same thing. Lumen measure the of light surrounds, like you would light a room with a lamp. Candlepower measures the light in a beam, like a flashlight beam. With a few assumptions you can convert lumen to candlepower. With these assumptions 360 lumen would be 28.6 candlepower.


How many lumen needed to produce 1 watt from solar panel?

The lumen output of a solar panel is not directly related to its power output in watts, as lumens measure light output, while watts measure electrical power. However, a rough estimate is that around 100 lumens per watt is a typical efficiency for LED lighting. For solar panels, the conversion efficiency from sunlight to electrical energy varies, but on average, about 15-20% efficiency is common, which means producing 1 watt of electrical power would require capturing approximately 1000-1500 lumens of sunlight, depending on the specific conditions and technology used.


How are solar cars powered?

Power from a light or the sun strikes a solar panel. The panel converts the light into useable power to operate the cars motor.


How are solar race cars powered?

Power from a light or the sun strikes a solar panel. The panel converts the light into useable power to operate the cars motor.


What does Amperes per Lumen stands for?

I don't believe that there is such a thing as an 'ampere per lumen'. An ampere is the SI unit of current, whereas the lumen is the SI photometric unit for luminous flux. There is no direct relationship between the two.


Can you charge a solar panel with a flashlight?

No, a flashlight cannot charge a solar panel. Solar panels generate electricity by converting sunlight into energy, while flashlights use batteries to power their light source. It is not possible to use a flashlight to produce the type of light needed to generate electricity in a solar panel.


Can light transmit power?

Light can't transmit power, but can be transformed to electricity to run motors that converts to any kind of power. You need a light source and solar panel.


How can you tell if one solar panel takes in more light than another?

because a solar panel it has power


How we measure the efficiency of light sources in easy way?

I don't think there is an "easy way", not if you mean "home-made easy". You need devices to measure the amount of light produced (in lumen), and to measure the amount of power used. Then you would have to divide the first by the second, to obtain lumen/watt.


How many lumen output in a 50 watt power led?

Typically power leds operate as 1-2 watt units. 50 watt is a little excessive for a single led: it would have to be an array. The light output that can be achieved in normal use appears to range from 80-120 lumen/watt, so I guess the answer would be something like 4000-6000 lumen!


How much light is used to power a lightbulb with a solar panel?

Can you convert lumen to candle power?

Not directly, as you are comparing apples with oranges in two senses: (a) a lumen is an SI unit, whereas a candlepower is an Imperial unit, and (b) lumens are used to measure luminous flux, whereas candlepower is used to measure luminous intensity.
