Beyond replacing your old incandescent with LEDs, there are lots of changes you can make that will save you money and energy in the long run.

Ready to make the switch? EnergyEarth is here to help make it easy for you. The lightbulb lumens to wattage chart below will help you understand which LED bulb is comparable to your current incandescent bulb. Simply take your current incandescent watts and select the corresponding LED bulb equivalent on the lumens brightness scale. Pay close attention to lumens, since this number indicates the brightness, or light output, of the bulb. To save the most energy, choose the bulb with the lowest wattage suitable for its usage.

Light color, or color temperature, is measured using the Kelvin scale. LEDs are available in warm colors (low k) to match the yellowish light of incandescent bulbs, but you can also choose cooler colors (high k) with whiter or bluer light. Here’s a color temperature chart for reference:

CFLs were once the cutting edge of energy efficiency. So where did they go? The short answer is LEDs came along and made them obsolete. LEDs are more efficient, longer lasting, and safer than any other bulb on the market.

We typically think of the brightness of a lightbulb in wattage. However, wattage simply represents the amount of energy needed to use the bulb. The lumens scale indicates the brightness of a bulb and should be used when selecting your new LED. To save the most money on your electric bills, replace your bulbs with the lowest wattage for the desired lumens (brightness). We make it easy for you by listing the comparable incandescent wattage on every lightbulb product page.
