What it means
How bright is that?
LED and CFL efficacies vary by model (LEDs from 80 to over 150 lm/W); check the lumens on the box. The saving assumes 3 hours a day at 0.30 per kWh.
The math
How to convert W LED to W incandescent
Incandescent watts follow a table: 40 W = 450 lm, 60 W = 800 lm, 100 W = 1,600 lm. LED watts = lumens ÷ 90.
Example: 17.8 W LED = 100.1 W incandescent.
