When working with halogen and strobe lights, manufacturers traditionally use watts to relay the “brightness” of the light output. Â A watt is a measurement of power, so when more efficient and brighter LEDs were introduced that produced less power, watts no longer conveyed the same meaning. Â Lumens started to gain more traction in the market. Â A lumen measures the actual light emitted from the source over a period of time.
