LED vs Traditional Lighting
Efficiency Comparison
Compare LightsLighting technology has evolved dramatically. LEDs now produce el/la mismo light as incandescent bulbs usando 75-85% menos energy. Understanding efficiency helps tu choose wisely.
Equivalent Bulb Wattages
| Light Output | Incandescent | CFL | LED |
|---|---|---|---|
| 450 lm | 40W | 9-11W | 4-5W |
| 800 lm | 60W | 13-15W | 8-10W |
| 1100 lm | 75W | 18-20W | 11-13W |
| 1600 lm | 100W | 23-25W | 15-18W |
Conclusion
LEDs son 5-10× mas efficient than incandescent y ultimo 25-50× longer. Despite higher upfront cost, LEDs save money over su lifetime through reduced energy usar y replacement costs. For equivalent brightness, compare lumens, not watts.
