LED Equivalent Wattages Against Traditional Lighting

News 09 Mar, 2018

LED equivalent wattages to traditional light sources can only be approximate, as they will vary depending on the colour temperature and quality of
the bulbs being compared. When comparing di erent light bulbs and lamps, it is better to compare the lumens that each bulb produces, in order to
gain a true like-for-like comparison.

That being said, you can use the comparison charts below as a starting point to nding out the LED equivalents for the light source you are
shopping for.

LED equivalents to traditional incandescent light bulbs

Incandescent light bulbs are the least energy-e cient light source, with LED light bulbs using just 10% of the energy to produce the same amount of
light as their incandescent equivalents.

Incandescent Light Bulb Wattage LED Equivalent Wattage

100 Watt 10 Watt

75 Watt 7.5 Watt

60 Watt 6 Watt

50 Watt 5 Watt

30 Watt 3 Watt

LED equivalents to halogen light bulbs

Halogen light bulbs are more e cient than traditional incandescent bulbs, but still require much more energy to generate light than LEDs, which
use around 85% less energy than halogen bulbs.

Halogen Light Bulb Wattage LED Equivalent Wattage

100 Watt 12 Watt

75 Watt 11 Watt

60 Watt 8 Watt

50 Watt 6 Watt
 30 Watt 4 Watt

LED equivalents to CFL light bulbs

CFL (compact uorescent lamp) light bulbs were the rst real energy-e cient alternative to incandescent and halogen bulbs, using much less
energy and lasting for much longer. LED light bulbs take energy e ciency to another level, using around 40% less energy than CFL equivalents.

CFL Light Bulb Wattage LED Equivalent Wattage

20 Watt 12 Watt

15 Watt 9 Watt

9 Watt 5.5 Watt

5 Watt 3 Watt

LED equivalents to uorescent tube lights

LED tube lights use between 40 and 50% less energy than uorescent tube lights, which is of course comparable to CFLs that utilise the same
technology.

Fluorescent Tube Light Wattage LED Equivalent Wattage

70 Watt 24 Watt

58 Watt 22 Watt

35 Watt 18 Watt

20 Watt 9 Watt

LED equivalents to sodium lighting

Sodium lights can be high pressure sodium (HPS) or low pressure sodium (LPS). LPS are more e cient than HPS but emit a very dim, yellow light.
Either way, LED lighting is around 50% more e cient than both HPS and LPS lighting.

Sodium Light Bulb Wattage LED Equivalent Wattage

250 Watt 100 Watt

150 Watt 60 Watt

70 Watt 30 Watt

LED equivalents to metal halide lighting

LED equivalents to metal halide lighting o er similar energy savings as over sodium lighting – around 50%.
