546,400lm

That's 46× as bright as a streetlight — nothing on our list beats it. A modern LED would need about 5,464 W to produce it.

What it means

How much light is that?

Lumens measure total light emitted. How bright a room feels also depends on the area lit, which is measured in lux.

The math

How to convert W to lm

To convert watts at 555 nm to lumens, multiply by 683.

Example: 800 W × 683 = 546,400 lm.

In the other direction, 1 lm = 0.00146413 W.
