What does the Watts mean on a light bulb?
Watt is the electrical unit for the rate at which energy is generated or consumed. One watt is a small amount of power. One kW is equal to 1,000 watts. It’s important to note that when buying light bulbs, wattage does not equal brightness. For instance, a 150-watt bulb is not necessarily brighter than a 50-watt bulb.
Can you use a 75 watt equivalent LED bulb?
With an efficiency up to 80% higher than similar output incandescents, it is certainly safe to say that LED light bulbs, like these 75-watt equivalent, use less energy than similar incandescent bulbs. You can be sure this is the case thanks to the “75 Watt Equal” in the bulb’s name.
What’s the difference between 60W and 100W light bulb?
Explanation: 100 watt bulb is used for 10 hours will consume 1000 wattsr. since 60 watt bulb consumes less power its light out put will be also less. Supply voltage being constant the more watts means more current,So you consume more energy pay for money.
Can you use a 75 watt bulb in a 60 watt?
If your fixture is rated to accept 60 Watts, you can safely use 75W, 100W, or even 125W equal bulbs (which all draw less than 50 Watts of power) instead.
Does more watts mean brighter?
More Watts doesn’t always mean a brighter light bulb. However, today’s light bulbs are so much more energy efficient, they use fewer Watts to produce the same amount of light (lumens). This is why nowadays you need to think lumens, not Watts, when buying light bulbs.
What is the best dimmable LED bulb?

What does the wattage of a light bulb mean?
Wattage is the amount of energy the light uses per hour. In the same family of light bulbs (like incandescents) the higher the wattage the brighter the light is. The disadvantage is that you use more energy. So, if a light bulb is 100 watts, you are using 100 watts of energy per hour.
What is a T4 lamp?
T4 fluorescent bulbs have a compact 1/2 inch diameter tube and are available in a wide range of color temperatures including daylight. These bulbs are primarily used in signage, display lighting and commercial/industrial applications.
