With the widespread use of LED light bulbs, the replacement and upgrade of different light bulbs have also made the concept of “equivalent wattage” more and more discussed. When comparing 60-watt vs 100-watt bulb, the wattage and brightness are the factors that need to be figured out first. Wattage is used to measure the energy consumption while many people mistakenly believe it as a direct measure of the brightness. In fact, higher wattage bulbs don’t always mean brighter light. The brightness of a light bulb is measured in lumens. It should be noticed that different types of light bulbs usually emit light with different lumen ratings even at the same wattage. For example, LED lights can emit the same amount of light while consuming less energy (watt) than Halogen bulbs.​
