what is the equivalent wattage for led bulbs
Put another way, LEDs use about 12% of the energy used by halogen and filament bulbs to emit the same amount of light. We can also calculate that a 50 Watt halogen spotlight produces about 600 lumens. An LED light would need to be about 6 watt in power to produce the equivalent 600 lumens produced by a 50 watt halogen. We can now see clearly that a 3 watt LED spotlight would produce 300 lumens, not 600 lumens, so definitely not equivalent to a 50 watt halogen bulb.
