Where in the world are you finding 100 watt CFLs? 32-35 watts is about where those things top out, which is a pretty bright light, the equivalent of about 150 watts incandescent. Or -- perhaps you mean 23 watt CFLs or something, which have about a 100-watt equivalent when compared with incandescents. At least at the beginning of their life they do. So if that's the case then eight 400-watt halogens can be changed out with sixteen 23-watt fluorescents, which will end up at about half the brightness, and have a greenish / bluish tinge to the light over time. You may want to splurge and get 32 watt bulbs, which will look like roughly 150 watts of incandescent light. One of the really cool things about using CF is less heat in the summertime, so the A/C doesn't have to work as hard. what is what Wat is what misspelled.
Incandescent bulbs give about 10 lumens of light per watt of electric power Halogens give about 13 lumens per watt CFLs give about 50 lumens per watt So it depends on the type of bulb.
LEDs and CFLs use about a quarter of a halogen so the answer is 35-40 watts.
So to replace a traditional 60-watt bulb, buy a 15-watt CFL: 60-watt incandescent / 4 = 15 watts. Note: Some brands of 60-watt equivalent CFLs still do not seem to give off as much light as a 60watt incandescent bulb.
If the fixture was the exact same, and one held a single bulb and one held a double bulb then NO. The light given off bulbs is marked as wattage when you look at the package. So a 100w bulb has less light than two 75w bulbs together, because the two equal 150w.
The cost of CFLs was minimised by government subsidy, but in the UK that is now removed and the cost per bulb has risen to £3-4 each.
A 27-watt CFL bulb typically produces around 1,800 to 2,400 lumens, depending on the specific bulb design and manufacturer. This output is comparable to a 100-watt incandescent bulb, making CFLs an energy-efficient lighting option. Always check the packaging for exact lumen ratings, as they can vary by brand and model.
Yes, that is what the numbers mean.
Depends on the bulbs efficiency. The ones I've gotten in the past few years are between 700-800 lumens. Check the packaging, it should state.
It depends. A 60 watt CFL draws approximately 13 watts. So you could actually put a 125 watt CFL in as it only draws 30 watts. However most CFLs cannot be dimmed nor are CFLs recommended in harsh environments such as refrigerators or ovens. Also because the coils of a CFL get larger in diameter adn height as the brightness increases, some fixtures may be unable to accomodate a 60 watt CFL let alone a 125.
The production of 69-watt light bulbs was largely phased out in the United States due to energy efficiency regulations that took effect in 2012. These regulations aimed to reduce energy consumption by mandating more energy-efficient lighting options, leading to the discontinuation of many traditional incandescent bulbs, including those around the 69-watt range. Consumers have since been encouraged to switch to more efficient alternatives, such as CFLs and LEDs.
Incandescents produce 10 lumens per watt, halogens about 13 lumens per watt, fluorescents and LEDs 40-50 lumens per watt. Lumens measure the brightness, watts measure the speed at which electrical energy is used.
All light bulbs use energy. Incandescents produce 10 lumens per watt, halogens about 13 lumens per watt, fluorescents and LEDs 40-50 lumens per watt. Lumens measure the brightness, watts measure the speed at which electrical energy is used. So the ones which use the most energy are called incandescent and then halogen.
