Watt (W): Measures the amount of energy required to of brightness in lumens 40W 450 lumens
light the product. 60W 800 lumens
(not watts) before your 75W 1100 lumens
Lumens Per Watt (LPW): Also called lumen eficacy, bulbs become obsolete. 100W 1600 lumens
LPW measures light delivered per watt. 150W 2600 lumens

IESNA LM-79-2008: An industry standardized test
procedure that measures the performance qualities of QUICK TIP:
LED luminaries and integral lamps, which allows for 1 watt produces approximately 100 lumens (or light)
a true comparison of luminaries (regardless of light
