Lamp Wattage Guide
Wattage indicates the amount of energy a bulb uses (or in other words, how much electric
power a bulb consumes), not the amount of light it emits.
Before selecting wattage, look at the maximum wattage your light fixture can yield. Installing
the wrong wattage can create excess heat, which can create a serious fire hazard in your home.
The chart below helps you choose an energy-saving equivalent to a traditional incandescent

Purchasing Tip: When shopping, compare the lumens and life of different bulbs of the same
wattage to settle on a lamp that gives you the best combination of light output and length of
life.
