What CFL is equivalent to incandescent?
In general, a simple rule to follow to replace an incandescent with an equivalent in light output CFL bulb is to select the CFL bulb that has 1/4 watts compared with the replaced incandescent bulb. For example, a correct replacement for a 60w incandescent bulb would be a 15 watt CFL bulb (60 * 1/4 = 15).
What is a 18W LED equivalent to?
Lumen & Wattage Comparison
| Lumens (Brightness) | LED Watts (Viribright) | CFL Watts |
|---|---|---|
| 400 – 500 | 6 – 7W | 8 – 12W |
| 650 – 850 | 7 – 10W | 13 – 18W |
| 1000 – 1400 | 12 – 13W | 18 – 22W |
| 1450-1700+ | 14 – 20W | 23 – 30W |
Can I use a 60 watt CFL in a 40 watt lamp?
Hi Ricky, 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 42W in LED?
42W CFL = 2700 to 4000.
How many Watts Does a CFL bulb use?
An equivalent compact fluorescents (CFL) bulb in light output (lumens) should consume only around 7 watts and LEDs approximately 6 watts. What else can affect brightness perception?
What’s the difference between 32W and 42W CFLs?
32W CFL = 2000 to 2400 42W CFL = 2700 to 4000 LED 4-Pin Replacement Lamp Lumens LED replacement lamps are available that use 4-pin G24q and GX24q sockets.
How many Watts Does a 40 watt incandescent bulb use?
A 40 watt incandescent filament bulb produces roughly 460 lumens. An equivalent compact fluorescents (CFL) bulb in light output (lumens) should consume only around 7 watts and LEDs approximately 6 watts. Data sources: American Association of Physics Teachers 1996 and Energy Star 2016.
What kind of base does a 26W CFL use?
It will focus specifically on the common 26, 32 and 42 watt CFL configurations in many commercial downlights. 26W, 32W and 42W CFLs all use G24q or GX24q bases. They can be mounted horizontally or vertically in the downlight.
