I was reading about the LED bulbs that replace the incandescent bulbs.
Example for this thread.
60-watt replacement LED bulbs typically only use around 10 watts.
If the bulb says 60-watt equivalent, that's for the measure of lumens, correct?
If I have a light fixture that says 60 watt max, how big of an LED bulb can I safely put in it? If I want a brighter bulb, can I put a 75W equivalent LED which actually only used around 14 watts? What about the 90W equivalent which still only uses less than 20 watts?
Is it true that LED bulbs produce less heat than an incandescent?
