It's Lumens not Watts



What are Lumens?

Excerpt:

Watts measure the amount of energy required to light products, whereas lumens measure the amount of light produced. The more lumens in a light bulb, the brighter the light.

Our First LED lamp


Batteries Plus is now carrying a wide assortment of lamps. We picked up one of the above for our string of hall lights in recessed "cans". From Zenaro.

 I am going to try to as much as possible eliminate incandescents if the price point makes sense. We have three areas of our house where one switch will turn on a bank of lights: the kitchen (now all CFLs), the hallway string (1 incandescent, 4 CFLs, and 1 LED), and the lower level family room (now all incandescents).

 The LED above only burns 10 watts. Pricy but could be a saver in the long run.
