Going from a 40-watt incandescent bulb to 60 watt incandescent will give you 4oo more lumens where as going from a 7 watt LED bulb to a 15 watt LED bulb would multiply the lumen output to 1000-1200 lumens. Watts=amperage x voltage so we don't draw watts, we draw amperage. Power is measured in watts. | |

Most domestic lamp sockets are not limited to 7 watts (more like 60 or 100) – that limit is due to the heat that is given out, and the wattage is more directly related to the heat. The lumens are related to wattage by the efficiency of the device. | |

An obsolete incandescent tungsten filament bulb that puts out 400 lumens might draw around 60 watts, but an LED light that gives out 400 lumens might draw about 6 watts. This means you can install mush brighter LED lighting, for less load on the electricity supply. But if you already use a 7 watt LED lamp, the light output is going to be pretty feeble. You won't get a "brightly lit room" with one, or even two or three of them. | |
