Lumens to watts calculation formula


The power P in watts (W) is equal to the luminous flux Φ  in lumens (lm), divided by
V

the luminous efficacy η in lumens per watt (lm/W):


P(W) = Φ (lm) / η(lm/W)
V

Luminous efficacy table

Typical
Light type luminous efficacy
(lumens/watt)

Tungsten incandescent light bulb 12.5-17.5 lm/W

Halogen lamp 16-24 lm/W

Fluorescent lamp 45-75 lm/W

LED lamp 80-100 lm/W

Metal halide lamp 75-100 lm/W

High pressure sodium vapor lamp 85-150 lm/W

Low pressure sodium vapor lamp 100-200 lm/W

Mercury vapor lamp 35-65 lm/W


Lighting Calculation
Calculating Illumination Illumination can be calculated as :

I = Ll Cu LLF / Al (1) where I = illumination (lux, lumen/m2 )

Ll = lumens per lamp (lumen)

Cu = coefficient of utilization

LLF = light loss factor

Al = area per lamp (m2 )

Example - Illumination 10 incandencent lamps of 500 W (10600 lumens per lamp) are used in an area
of 50 m2 . With Cu = 0.6 and LLF = 0.8 illumination can be calculated as:

I = 10 (10600 lumens) (0.6) (0.8) / (50 m2 ) = 1018 lux
