The Energy Miser FE-IIS-26W-50K 26-watt compact fluorescent replaces a 105-watt incandescent light bulb and saves up to 75 percent in energy costs.
A 1600-lumen LED bulb is the equivalent brightness for the 23-watt CFL bulb.
Can I use a 23 watt CFL in a 60 watt fixture?
If the fixture is rated for 60 Watts then you won’t exceed the sockets 60 watt maximum with the 23 Watt CFL. Any bulb that uses 23 watts of power will produce almost 23 watts of heat. It would take a bulb that uses 60 watts or more to damage the socket.
Can I replace a CFL bulb with an LED bulb?
Yes, LED and CFL lightbulbs are interchangeable because they can be used in the same fixtures. No alterations are required and you can quickly and easily switch between the two different types of lightbulb.
What is the CFL equivalent to 60w?
Remember this rule of thumb: CFLs use about a quarter of the wattage to produce the same light. So to replace a traditional 60-watt bulb, buy a 15-watt CFL: 60-watt incandescent / 4 = 15 watts.
Which is brighter CFL or LED?
CFL’s or fluorescent light bulbs emit 60 lumens per watt. LED’s, however, are the most effective of all, with a whopping 72 lumens per watt. This means that for around 10 watts of power, an LED will be just as bright as a 60-watt bulb.
Can I use a higher watt CFL equivalent bulb in a 60W fixture?
Yes, you can use a compact fluorescent (CFL) bulb that produces more light as long as it doesn’t exceed the wattage recommended for the fixture. A CFL bulb that produces the same amount of light as a 60 watt incandescent bulb (900 lumens) only uses around 15 watts of electricity.
Can I use 100W CFL bulb instead of 60W?
For a 60-Watt fixture, you could use a 100W, 125W, or even 150W LED equivalent because they all consume under 60-Watts! That means you could use a 150W LED equivalent bulb in a 60W socket and get more than three times the brightness of your old 60-Watt incandescent bulb.
Can I use a 40 watt LED bulb in a 25 watt lamp?
The answer is YES. You can use an LED bulb having a higher wattage equivalent than your fixture allows — provided the LED bulb consumes less wattage than the fixture.
What is the problem with CFL bulbs?
Some of the disadvantages of compact fluorescent bulbs are that they are cold temperature sensitive, not recommended for enclosed fixtures, can have a higher initial cost than incandescent, have a longer warm up time, they may have limited color temperatures, do not dim nearly as smoothly, and dimming decreases the
Why is CFL better than LED?
LEDs emit very little heat. In contrast, incandescent bulbs release 90% of their energy as heat, CFLs release about 80% of their energy as heat, according to Energy.gov. Another LED light benefit is that LEDs, because they emit light in a specific direction, do not need diffusers or reflectors that trap lights.
What are CFL bulbs used for?
Compact fluorescents are being used in residential applications replacing incandescent and halogen lights. They provide relatively shadow-free lighting in residential applications and because of their small size can fit nicely into sconces, ceiling lights and table lamps.
Do they make 25 watt light bulbs?
GE soft white 25 watt A19 frosted general purpose light bulbs illuminate your home with soft, pleasing light. They are dimmable to provide just the right brightness.
Can I use a 60W bulb in a 25w lamp?
Yes, you can always put a lower wattage light bulb into a higher wattage rated fixture. The lower wattage bulb will draw less current from the fixture and generates less heat, and that’s perfectly fine.
