💡 Watts vs Lumens: The New Lighting Standard You Need to Know! 💡
🌟 Welcome to another enlightening episode of Electrician U! Today, we're diving into the bright world of lighting, discussing why lumens should be your go-to metric instead of watts. 🌟
00:00 - Intro: You Shouldn't Be Talking About Wattage
00:11 - What are Watts?
01:19 - What are Lumens?
02:14 - Luminous Efficacy
02:38 - NDR ORBIT and RAZOR
04:01 - Comparing Incandescent, CFL's and LED
05:44 - Outro
🔎 First, we break down what watts really mean - they're all about energy transfer, from the utility company to your light bulb. But here's the catch: watts don't tell you how much light you're actually getting. In fact, in an incandescent bulb, a mere 1-2% of wattage is converted into light; the rest? Just heat!
🌞 Then, we shift our focus to lumens - the real deal when it comes to measuring brightness. Whether you're choosing a headlamp or lighting up your kitchen, lumens are what you should be looking at. And with LED lights, the wattage can be deceiving since their lumen output varies significantly.
🔍 We also touch on luminous efficacy and how it's reshaping our understanding of efficient lighting. Plus, a shoutout to our sponsor, NDR Electric, for their innovative products - the ORBIT and the RAZOR. Check them out at https://ndrelectric.com/.
