Back in the day when incandescent lighting was the norm, replacing burnt out light bulbs was a breeze. Basically all a person had to do was take a quick look at the wattage of an old bulb and replace it with a new bulb of the same wattage. Today with the ever-growing incorportation of energy-efficient LED lighting, the task of replacking incandescent and other traditional light options with LEDs is not as simple as matching up the wattages.
Many people looking to replace traditional lighting with LEDs assume that the wattages of the old and new bulbs should match up because they, like many others, mistakenly associate wattage with light brightness; however, wattage does not represent the brightness of light bulbs. Wattage measures the amount of energy used by light bulbs. Lumens measure brightness. Therefore, when replacking traditional lighting with LEDs, the lumens of the old and new bulbs should be matched, not the wattages.
