Lumens is the term used to describe the total amount of light emitted by a light source, while wattage/watts merely indicates the amount of energy it uses. As lighting becomes more and more energy-efficient, the same number of lumens is being achieved with lower and lower wattages. Over on the blog I explain lumens and how much light you might need in a room depending on its size - simply follow the link in our bio @mintlighting_design ——— #melbourneinteriors #australianinteriors #melbournehomes
