Weekly Electrical Training: Watts vs Lumens: The New Lighting Standard You Need to Know!

Welcome to another enlightening episode of Electrician U! Today, we’re diving into the bright world of lighting, discussing why lumens should be your go-to metric instead of watts. 🌟

First, we break down what watts really mean – they’re all about energy transfer, from the utility company to your light bulb. But here’s the catch: watts don’t tell you how much light you’re actually getting. In fact, in an incandescent bulb, a mere 1-2% of wattage is converted into light; the rest? Just heat! 🌞 Then, we shift our focus to lumens – the real deal when it comes to measuring brightness. Whether you’re choosing a headlamp or lighting up your kitchen, lumens are what you should be looking at. And with LED lights, the wattage can be deceiving since their lumen output varies significantly. 🔍 We also touch on luminous efficacy and how it’s reshaping our understanding of efficient lighting.
