Battle of the Bulbs From brightness levels to efficiency and lifespan, there are many factors to consider when making an incandescent vs LED light bulb comparison. Each of the contenders has its pros and cons. Here’s how they measure up: Round 1: Warming Up Efficiency LEDs blaze into actio...
Therefore, when comparing brightness, forget about watts. In fact, modern LED technology has changed how lighting products are labeled, emphasizing the true light output in lumens. The bottom line is: the higher the number of lumens per watt, the more efficient the lamp. When you invest in ...
an Energy Star certified LED bulb that gives off 800 lumens of brightness will cost $1.26 per year to burn. That same brightness from a halogen (a form of incandescent) bulb will cost about $6.02 per year to burn. Look for lumens, rather than watts when buying bulbs. Lumens indicate lig...
Understanding Lumens and Watts Lumens vs. Watts: What’s the Difference? The Efficiency of LED Bulbs Lumens in a 100 Watt LED Bulb: Explained Comparison with Traditional Incandescent Bulbs Benefits of Using LED Bulbs with Higher Lumens Factors to Consider When Choosing LED Bulbs Conclusion Frequently...
Lighting Comparison: LED versus HID Lights Lighting Comparison: LED vs Metal Halide Lights Lighting Comparison: LED vs High Pressure Sodium (HPS) and Low Pressure Sodium (LPS) Common Issues What are some common issues with HID bollard lights?

LED’s have more efficiency in converting electricity into visible light, hence they give more output than regular light sources. For example, a 60 watt of regular light bulb can produce around 750-900 lumens, while the same light output can be obtained by using only the 6-8 watts of LED...
“full load”, but this state is not so easy to define with constant current drivers. For example, if a 350 mA LED driver rated at 10 Watts (Vout max= 28 VDC) is used with an LED Lamp rated at 7 W, then most users would consider this a good set up. With typical LEDs...
“Flip both for the fairest comparison.” ~envygrower123 Flowering Stage Tents were switched to a 12/12 light schedule on January 17. January 18, 2020 It’s BUD TIME! Here’s an update on the LEC vs LED side-by-side grow journal on Day 1 of flowering. HLG 300 Quantum Board LED gro...
Performance of LED bulbs vs. Incandescent bulbs vs. CFLs: First important thing to consider in comparison is performance. LED light bulbs use only 2-17 watts of electricity that is about 1/6th to a regular incandescent bulb and 1/2 to CFLs. Traditional incandescent bulbs use a lot of energ...
