What is LUMENS?
When buying LED bulbs, it is important to consider the lumens value rather than just the wattage. The wattage of a bulb measures its energy usage, whereas lumens measure the brightness or light output of the bulb.
LED bulbs are more energy-efficient than traditional incandescent bulbs, so a lower wattage LED bulb can provide the same level of brightness as a higher wattage incandescent bulb. Therefore, looking at the lumens value is a better way to determine the brightness or light output of the LED bulb.
The lumens value of a bulb is usually indicated on the packaging or the bulb itself. A higher lumens value indicates a brighter bulb. When buying LED bulbs, consumers should look for bulbs with the desired lumens value to ensure that they provide the desired level of brightness.
By considering the lumens value when buying LED bulbs, consumers can ensure that they choose bulbs that provide the desired level of brightness while also being energy-efficient. This can help save money on energy bills and reduce the environmental impact of lighting.
