What are Lumen?
Lumen is the expression of the amount of light that a lamp emits. Usually it is expressed by the abbreviation of lumen "lm" with a number in front of it. The higher the number of lumens, the more light the lamp emits. It is a common misconception that lamps with a higher number of wattages provide more light output, it is not the case that a higher wattage provides more light output. If you want a lot of light output, it is better to choose a lamp with a high lumen value.
In order to save energy and have lots of light output, we recommend you to purchase lamps with a high lumen value and low wattage.
What is Lux?
