What's the difference between Lumens and Watts?
As we work to offer more sustainable products for our customers, we’ve replaced all our incandescent light bulbs, which use watts as their unit of measurement, to LED bulbs, which use lumens.
A 150-watt LED bulb equals about 2250 lumens. At this time, our LED bulbs only go up to 1600 lumens, which can be converted to about 100 watts and 15,000 hours of life.
In general, how many watts of incandescent light do the following LED bulbs spread?
- 100 lumens = about 7
- 375 lumens = about 25
- 450 lumens = about 30
- 600 lumens = about 48
- 800 lumens = about 60
- 1000 lumens = about 72
- 1100 lumens = about 75
- 1600 lumens = about 100
It is also important to note that our LED bulbs consume up to 85% less energy and last 10 times longer than incandescent bulbs with the same brightness.
