How bright are led light bulbs?
Led bulbs available for standard fixtures vary in brightness from less than 50
lumens up to about 3000 lumens. The brightest led bulbs for standard fixtures
are the floodlights and spotlights. The brightest of these uses about 11 watts
and produces light comparable to a 50-watt incandescent.
The non-directional led bulbs are best for lighting small areas, low-level
safety lighting, night-lights, mood lighting, or decorative accent lighting.
Using non-directional leds to replace incandescent for general room lighting is
not really practical at this time. Our brightest non-directional led bulb (102
leds) uses 10 watts to produce light comparable to a 40-watt incandescent. The
directional led bulbs are best for halogen spotlights replacement.
