What are lumens?
Lumens represent the actual
amount of ambient light coming
from a lamp. The higher the lumens,
the more ‘ lit up ’ a room will be.
Why watts are unreliable
when determining the
brightness of a bulb
There is no agreed-upon standard
among manufacturers for
determining equivalent wattages.
Think Lumens Not Watts.
