Can I replace 40W with 25W?

3 Answers. Yes, that’s fine.

Can I put a 25W bulb in a 40W socket?

As long as you don’t go over the manufacturer’s recommended wattage, you’ll be safe. If your fixture doesn’t have a wattage recommendation, the rule of thumb is to choose bulbs with 60-watts or lower.

What is the difference between 25W and 40W?

But even though an LED bulb uses less wattage, it’ll have more lumens than a standard bulb. For example, a 4W LED bulb is 220+ lumens, while the same amount of lumens can be found in a standard 25W bulb. More lumens per watt means your light bulb is more efficient, since more light is produced with less power.

What is 25w LED equivalent to?

Compare wattage

Can I replace a 40W bulb with a 60W?

Yes you can, the light output will be 33\% less but then you will use less energy. light fittings should be labelled to state the maximum safe wattage bulb which can be fitted. Never under any circumstances exceed the maximum but lower is fine. Yes – it will take less current and provide a dimmer light.

Can I use a 75 watt bulb in a 40 Watt fixture?

So long as the bulbs are not marked for limited use, you can generally use an LED bulb that is rated much higher than an incandescent bulb. In general, there is no problem using a 75W equivalent LED bulb in a fixture marked 40W maximum. You are only drawing about 15 watts and generating much less heat than a 40 watt bulb.

Can I replace an incandescent light bulb with led?

This question refers to traditional, incandescent bulbs. They radiate heat. So, I would not recommend you to do it. Quite naturally, you get brighter light, more suitable to read occasionally. However, if the lamp comes with a plastic socket, it is melted quite fast. Meanwhile, you may replace it with an 11W LED bulb.

How many lumens is a 60 watt LED bulb?

In general, an 800 Lumen LED bulb produces the same amount of light as a 60-Watt incandescent light bulb. If you want something even brighter, then for a 60-Watt fixture you could use a 100W, 125W or 150W LED equivalent – they all use under 60-Watts. 150W LED bulbs produce around 2,600 Lumens but uses only about 30-Watts.

What does 9W=75W mean on a light bulb?

@Jim: That’s not really right. The meaning of 9W=75Wis that the LED lightbulb consumes only 9W of electric power to produce the same light output (luminous flux) as would be produced by a 75W tungsten-filament incandescent lightbulb. I find it best to use lumens to compare lightbulb brightness.
