What is Lumens Per Watt?

Lumens per watt is a measure of the efficiency of a light source. It indicates how much light (in lumens) is produced for each watt of electricity consumed. Higher lumens per watt values indicate more efficient lighting, as more light is produced with less energy. This is an important metric when comparing different lighting options, especially for energy-saving purposes.

Example Calculation

Example:

Step 1: Calculate the Lumens Per Watt:

\[ LPW = \frac{800}{10} = 80 \text{ lm/W} \]
