brighter the light. When it comes to measuring light we are

more interested in how many lumens fall on a surface, this is

lux. A Lux is one Lumen per square meter. These can be both

measured by a lumens or lux meter.

A lumen measures the amount of light that comes from a bulb.

It refers to a light bulb’s brightness, intensity of light and

visible light emitted. A standard 40-watt (40W) bulb is equal

to 400+ lumens. Typically, the higher the wattage, the higher

the lumens, and the more light output.

disturbances. Especially 5000K with high lumens.

option.
