Wattage Equivalent and Lumens
LED wattage differs significantly from incandescent ratings. A 9W LED equals 60W incandescent output at 800 lumens. Entry-level 40W equivalents (450 lumens) suit accent lighting. Standard 60W equivalents (800 lumens) dominate at 70% market share - Sylvania ECO ($9.42) and evelor ($8.89) both deliver 750-800 lumens. Higher-output 100W equivalents (1500 lumens) appear in work area bulbs like Energetic 24-pack ($19.99). Match lumens to room size: 450-800 lumens for bedrooms, 1000-1500 lumens for kitchens and offices.
