Description : Is an 800-lumen light bulb twice as bright as a 400-lumen one?
Last Answer : A lumen is a measure of brightness. In America, incandescent bulbs used to be rated by “candlepower. ” The LED bulbs are much brighter, and are measured by “lumens.” The wattage is not as big a variable, as the brightness. There are conversions for candlepower to lumens online.
