LED wattage of solar lights

Most solar lighting systems use fixtures ranging from 20 Watt LED (2000+ Lumens) to 90 Watt LED (9000+ Lumens) and are typically in the 35 Watt to 50 Watt range for most applications. High security or light level requirements use the brighter lights and residential and remote areas use the lower range.

Now comes the beauty of LEDs. An LED bulb will use around 1/10th the wattage (6 Watts) of an incandescent bulb to give you the same, or equivalent, 800 lumens bright light. An LED will have a wattage between 7 to 10 watts only, and that is the watt equivalent you need to look for if you are in the market for a 'conventional 60 Watt light output'.

A much lower wattage LED can be used. The ASL fixture provides replacements for 150 Watt, 250 Watt and 400 Watt HPS and MH lights using fixtures with a Wattage of 62 Watts, 123 Watts and 181 Watts. In the end, taking into consideration the lighting levels and Lumens over the Wattage of the lamp will provide a more energy efficient lighting system.

Working out which solar panel to get is fairly simple. If we're going with the example above, you'll have a 30-inch plasma television that uses 150 watts, and incandescent light bulbs taking up 60 watts each. To give power to these devices, you'd need a solar system that produces more than 210 watts in an hour.

The higher the wattage, the brighter the light, but also the more power it uses. The efficiency of this system was introduced using incandescent lamps. For instance: 40 Watt incandescent lamp produces only 380-460 lumens and uses 40 Watts of energy per hour.

The new measure is lumens or watts equivalent to help with the transition. LED watts equivalent of an LED bulb is the wattage needed for an LED bulb to tally to the conventional bulb's wattage and the associated lumen rating, in order to get that same brightness in the LED bulb.
