Comparing light bulbs with differences in wattage
Incandescent 100 watt | CFL 24 watt |
Bulbs life: 750 hours. Lumen: 1500 light output: 2500 heat output: larger | Bulbs life: 2500 hours. Lumen:210 Light output: smaller The heat output: smaller |
I learned that it does not matter how many watts are in a light bulb it matters what the lumen is.(The lumen is how bright it is.) In the future I will use what I learned to get a fair deal when I am an adult.
CFL 24 watt | Incandescent 25 watt |
Lumens: 1690 Bulb Life: 6000 hours Light Output: Larger or Smaller Heat Output: Larger or Smaller | Lumens: 210 Bulb Life: 2500 hours Light Output: Larger or Smaller Heat Output: Larger or Smaller |
Reflection:
I think it is weird that a 24 watt bulb lives longer than a 25 watt bulb and is also brighter than the 25 watt bulb when they use almost the same amount of energy.I never knew any of that before this lesson.
