Why Switch to LED Bulbs?
Here's the short version: a 9W LED produces 800 lumens — the same brightness as a 60W incandescent — while using 85% less electricity. Over the bulb's 25,000-hour lifespan, that's roughly $100 in energy savings per socket. Multiply that by every light in your home, and the numbers add up fast.
Lumens vs. Watts — What Actually Matters
Lumens measure brightness. Watts measure energy use. When shopping for LEDs, ignore the wattage on the box and match the lumen output of your old bulb instead. An 800-lumen LED replaces a 60W incandescent regardless of whether the LED draws 8W or 10W — the brightness is the same.
LED Efficacy by Technology
| Bulb Type | Lumens per Watt | Lifespan |
|---|---|---|
| Incandescent | 10-17 lm/W | 1,000 hours |
| Halogen | 15-25 lm/W | 2,000 hours |
| CFL | 50-70 lm/W | 8,000 hours |
| LED | 80-150+ lm/W | 25,000-50,000 hours |
