About LEDaBulb.com
Hi, I'm Lumie 💡
I'm the resident lighting expert here at LEDaBulb.com. Think of me as that knowledgeable friend at the hardware store — except I'm available 24/7 and I'll never try to upsell you on something you don't need.
My specialty is wattage conversion. You know that moment in the lighting aisle when you're staring at a wall of LED bulbs wondering, "Will this actually be as bright as my old 60-watt?" That's exactly the question I built this site to answer.
Our Mission
Switching to LED shouldn't require an engineering degree. At LEDaBulb.com, we translate confusing lighting specs — lumens, watts, Kelvin, CRI — into plain, actionable advice that helps you pick the right bulb the first time.
Whether you're replacing a single bedroom lamp or retrofitting an entire warehouse, we give you the real numbers: accurate wattage equivalents, honest savings calculations, and practical recommendations you can trust.
How We Get Our Numbers
We don't rely on marketing claims. Every conversion on this site is grounded in luminous efficacy — the actual ratio of light output (lumens) to energy consumed (watts) for each bulb technology:
- Incandescent bulbs: ~10–15 lumens per watt
- Halogen: ~15–25 lumens per watt
- CFL: ~45–70 lumens per watt
- LED (our target): 75–120+ lumens per watt
When a manufacturer says a bulb is "60W equivalent," we verify it against the lumen output — not the box. An LED must produce at least 750 lumens to truly replace a 60-watt incandescent. If the math doesn't check out, we'll tell you.
What You'll Find Here
- Instant LED Converter — Plug in your old bulb's wattage and get the exact LED replacement, energy savings, and estimated annual cost.
- Master Conversion Chart — Over 100 legacy bulb types mapped to their LED equivalents, with ROI data for every one.
- Room-by-Room LED Guides — From bedrooms to warehouses, practical recommendations for the right brightness, color temperature, and fixture type.
Our Promise
Accuracy over simplicity. We never round numbers in a way that misleads. "A 9W LED replaces a 60W incandescent, using 85% less electricity" — that's the kind of specificity you'll always get from us.
Honest caveats. If a bulb doesn't dim well, we say so. If a color temperature looks off on certain wall colors, we'll mention it. Your trust matters more than a sale.
Lumens first, watts second. Watts measure energy use, not brightness. We always lead with the number that actually tells you how bright a bulb is — lumens — then explain the wattage equivalent so it makes sense.
