Is a flood light a CFL?
Producing more light per watt, CFL flood lights are excellent alternatives to energy-consuming halogen bulbs. Flood lights emit bright, highly concentrated light, making them ideal for use in outdoor landscape or indoor ceiling fixtures for directional or display lighting.
Can I use a higher wattage CFL bulb?
Yes, you can use a compact fluorescent (CFL) bulb that produces more light as long as it doesn’t exceed the wattage recommended for the fixture. A CFL bulb that produces the same amount of light as a 60 watt incandescent bulb (900 lumens) only uses around 15 watts of electricity.
What is the highest watt CFL bulb?
Know your watts and lumens (light output)
| Incandescent | CFL | Lumens |
|---|---|---|
| 60W | 13-18W | >900 |
| 75W | 19-22W | >1,200 |
| 100W | 23-26W | >1,750 |
| 150W | 38-42W | >2,600 |
Do CFL pollute more than LED?
Its brightness is more than CFL as it produces light only in one direction. LED bulb is usually lighter than CFL. It contains harmful substances like mercury which may pollute or harm the environment. It does not contain harmful substances.
WHAT LED is equivalent to 500W halogen?
SANYO LED Floodlight 50W (replace 500W Halogen) – 5000 lumen – IP65 – 50.000h lifetime [Energy Class A]
Are LED flood lights brighter than halogen?
You can expect the same level of brightness from an LED floodlight as a halogen floodlight. Brightness isn’t measured in Watts. It’s actually measured in lumens. In fact, if we think of brightness in terms of ‘lumens per Watt’, then LED floodlights are considerably brighter than their halogen alternatives!
Can you use a 23W CFL in a 60W socket?
Incandescent bulbs convert about 90% of their energy to heat, and about 10% to light. So a socket rated for 60W bulb is expecting about 54W of heat energy. Even if the CFL were converting all 23W into heat (obviously it’s not), it still wouldn’t be more than the socket is rated for.
Can I put a 100 watt CFL in a 60-watt socket?
It simply means that the bulb, whether CFL or LED, is able to produce as much light as a 60-Watt incandescent. 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.
Are all spiral bulbs CFL?
Since spiral CFL bulbs come in many different varieties and always have an integrated ballast, they can be used nearly anywhere incandescent bulbs are used….Spiral CFL Light Bulb Base Types.
