High Brightness And Intensity

LEDs are capable of emitting an extremely high level of brightness. That's why wattage is no longer a viable measurement of brightness- instead, look at a bulb's lumen output when you're making the switch to LEDs or other energy -efficient lighting. Take a look at how LEDs compare to incandescent and CFL bulbs:

40 Watt Bulbs
