What is a watt? What is a lumen?
A watt is the measure of power consumption, and is the common way incandescent light bulbs are identified—for example 60-watt, 75-watt and 100-watt. When purchasing a light bulb, what you really should look for is lumens, which is the measure of light output. A 60-watt incandescent bulb produces about 800 lumens. A 13-watt CFL bulb will also produce 800 lumens, and it requires much less power. You know how most say we should look into wattage? This just came across my desk. Interesting. But wattage is good understand so that you know how to deal with it accordingly.
Dont want underestimate the power of it unless youve taking a liking to the fro and wqnt one...lol
The part thats interesting is the argument that some say dont look for lumens look for watts. Others say look for lumens instead of watts. They both have important significance.
