Mid-Ohio Energy Cooperative Urges Lightbulb Shoppers to Focus on Lumens, Not Watts

Mid-Ohio Energy Cooperative recently posted that if you’re still shopping for lightbulbs based on wattage, you’re living in the past.

In today’s energy-efficient lighting market, lumens matter.

Lumens measure the light output of a bulb, while watts measure the energy used.

LED bulbs provide more lumens per watt than traditional bulbs, and that means you get brighter lighting using less energy.

Mid-Ohio Energy said that the next time you go lightbulb shopping, you should look for lumens.
