WC 1M Post Challenge - You Ready?!

Re: WC 150K Post Challenge - You Ready?!

Well they have to put them in a section people are is used to.

A better term is light bulb replacement.

oh ok well thanks for the clarification :smile:

Re: WC 150K Post Challenge - You Ready?!

The 60W and 70W are the equivalent light output you get. What do you have now?

one uses more energy !

Re: WC 150K Post Challenge - You Ready?!

im not though, im just saying I had to go over a section on physics and I had trouble wrapping my head around it :/

There are plenty of things in physics that are difficult to grasp. Just ask anyone who has been trying to discover the Higgs boson☺

Don't buy dimmable unless you have a dimmer. No point paying the extra cash.

Obviously the lower the wattage equivalent the lower the LED true wattage.

Most people just replace what you have, though you should consider if you can go lower. If, for example, your lighting fixture has three bulbs in it, all at 50W, do you need that much light?

Also, be sure to buy wide angle as well.

Re: WC 150K Post Challenge - You Ready?!

alright also another thing does the wattage matter between LED( idk what to call them now) say if I had to chose between a 60 watt LED or a 70 watt LED what one would be a better choice ?

Depends. Watts is the power consumption, more wattage means a higher electric bill. But too low wattage and the brightness of the light might not be enough. You need to determine what lumen level lights do you want and then settle on the lowest wattage in that lumen range to get the most efficient bulb.
I'll stop blubbering about bulbs now

Re: WC 150K Post Challenge - You Ready?!

Yeah it happened to me too. Same age.

all I know is that was wake up call to tell me ...sahib you are getting older

Re: WC 150K Post Challenge - You Ready?!

But you just said chemistry....

Some Sahibisms are hard to understand, just like quantum physics...

You'll confused him now. most people don't go by lumen output.

Re: WC 150K Post Challenge - You Ready?!

yes I said chemistry because that was the class I took in high school. during the course my class went over a physics section just to give you a general gist of it and I had trouble understanding it

That would be related to physical chemistry which is quite different than physics per se.

I was wondering that as well....

You need both pieces of the puzzle to come out ahead energy wise. I could have thrown a slight wrench by also confounding lumen output with the type of light

Scotopic and photopic?

oh ok .... makes sense ..

nope that is something I didn't think of. I was just planning to replace all the old CFL light blubs with light blub replacements

does it have to do with the nature of LED only pointing in one direction ?

Yup...he will think we are talking about succotash

ok now that is getting into specifics how am I suppost to figure that out ._.? all I know 60 watts seems to be the starting place

Yeah we feel like that sometimes with your Sahibisms as well

Go to Home Depot and look at the various light type bulbs, then once you like the type of light settle on wattage and then the LED bulb. Easy, peasy...

but it wasn't that :/ the reason why they wanted us to go over physics was that next year ( at the time I was a junior) they were going to offer physics and wanted us to learn a little bit of physics hoping it would interest some students ( obviously it did ). I didn't take it because I couldn't wrap my head around it.

all I know is the higher the lumens the brighter the blub is but the more energy it uses .... right ?
