Can I use a lower watt LED bulb?
When it comes to replacing old incandescent bulbs with LEDs, a common question that customers ask is: “Can I use an LED bulb that has a higher wattage equivalent than my fixture allows?” The simple answer is yes, as long as the LED bulb uses less wattage than your fixture.
Can I use a smaller watt bulb?
Yes, you can always put a lower wattage light bulb into a higher wattage rated fixture. The lower wattage bulb will draw less current from the fixture and generates less heat, and that’s perfectly fine.
Can you mix different wattage LED bulbs?
2 Answers. Yes, you certainly can use bulbs of different wattages in your fixture. The fact that one socket pulls more current is not important. Bulb size is mostly a matter of light distribution and heat management.
What is 1 watt LED equivalent to?
1 watt LED bulb is 90 Lumens. 1 watt LED bulb is the same as 9 watts in an incandescent light bulb.
What LED light bulb equals 100 watts?
10 Watt
LED equivalents to traditional incandescent light bulbs
| Incandescent Light Bulb Wattage | LED Equivalent Wattage |
|---|---|
| 100 Watt | 10 Watt |
| 75 Watt | 7.5 Watt |
| 60 Watt | 6 Watt |
| 50 Watt | 5 Watt |
What is 4.5 watt LED equivalent to?
R14 LED Light Bulb, 4.5w (40w Equivalent), Dimmable, 300 Lumens, 3000k Soft White, E26 Medium Base, RoHS Compliant (Pack of 2)
WHAT LED bulb has the lowest wattage?
Brightness (Lumens) and Temperature (Kelvins) in LEDs
| Electrical Power Consumption in Watts | Minimum Light Output in Lumens | |
|---|---|---|
| Incandescent | LED | |
| 60 | 7 – 9 | 500 – 700 |
| 75 | 10 – 14 | 700 – 1250 |
| 100 | 14 – 18 | 1,250 – 2300 |
Can I put 100W LED in 60W?
LED bulbs that deliver 800 lm are considered to have equal light output to standard 60W bulbs. If your fixture is rated to accept 60 Watts, you can safely use 75W, 100W, or even 125W equal bulbs (which all draw less than 50 Watts of power) instead.
