How many watts does this compare to? 15 watt bulb, 25 watt bulb, I do not understand how much light it puts out.

After a full days charge, the light output is similar to that of a 25 watt bulb in low mode and slightly higher in high. The battery holds that level all night quite nicely. If you want to light an entire yard, it may not be sufficient light but it works great for my walkway.

Alot if you have sun if you live in Washington State then dont buy. With full power it is equivilent to a 60 watt bulb.

It's more of a glow than usable light. I use it as an accent for my walkway. Not sure of the wattage.

It is an interesting question When I just installed the light was very weak, at that time I compared it with a 15 watt incandescent. However, few months after, it has become brighter -maybe as a result of longer and sunnier days-; I would say today it compares to a 35 watt (yes, in between 25 and 40).

Note this is actual watts, a measure of power, not "watts equivalent" that some use as a measure of brightness. It is way more bright than a 60-watt incandescent.

The bulb it ships with is super dim, and I believe it's 75 watts. I've put a 100w in, but it's still not enough light to brighten a room. The light can be used for ambience only unless you're installing it in a very small room. My room is 12 by 20' for your reference.

I have used a 100 watt in it for a long time and then I got a chrome played 75w bulb (totally worth it) which made the light not as bright due to the chrome. That's the last thing you have to consider with the high watt bulbs, will you really want to sit under it? It's so bright I get headaches from regular bulbs

a 15 Watt medium type A base bulb. Which I could not find at my local hardware store, he sold me a 13 watt energy saver bulb which killed the damn thing. (I now see on the package that 13 watts on the energy saver = 60 watts. I honestly don't think that 15 "regular" watts is going to give you enough light to work at a desk.

this bulb is an h4 bulb that operates at 55 watts for low beam and 100 watts for high beam. a big difference in lighting. brian p. san diego, ca

A rough "guesstiment" is that 1 watt of LED light is 6 times brighter than 1 watt of incandescent light. So, 6.5 watts on this unit is equal to the brightness of a ~40 watt regular bulb.

Hello, I just bought a standard 40 watt bulb. It says you can use 40 watts or less on the inside of the lamp. Hope this helps :).

It's 3.5 watts. Amazon sells a replacement bulb, which I have on my wish list, but I haven't needed it and I've been using mine for about 2 years.

The statement made in the description of "20W LED as the light sourcewhile lumen output equivalent to 500 Watt halogen bulb" IS ABSOLUTELY FALSE! A 500 watt halogen bulb typically has a light output of 10,000 lumens or more. This lamp has an output of 1,600 lumens, which is, as Coy said above, about equivalent to a 100-watt halogen bulb. THIS IS A GROSS MISREPRESENTATION OF THIS PRODUCT.

I checked on line to see if I could find out how many lumens and it says 350 lumens. By comparison, a 40W light bulb shines at approximately 400 lumens and 100W at 1500 lumens. So you are getting somewhat less light than you would from a 40W light bulb. Judging by our use, I think 350 lumens is probably pretty much on the mark. We are using it for a bedroom lamp. It works well for reading books with an arm lamp.

Per the package label image shown, the bulb produced 1300 lumens, which would be equivalent to about a 85-90W incandescent bulb. I wondered, too, so looked it up. Don't know why someone would provide a description with stating this.

You can use either a 15 watt or 25 watt bulb Amazon sells both . they sell ones made for salt lamps , the same ones that come in the lamps.

I use the 25 watt Bulbrite in both of mine. I had the smaller bulbs but they didn't last very long. I turn both my lamps on during the day and sometimes I forget to turn the one in the kitchen off. :)

It's a bit MORE than a light bulb. More like TWO 100 watt incandescent bulbs. It's rated at 180 watts by the manufacturer.

Thank you for your question. Per the description: it is capable of using a 75-watt incandescent or 15-watt compact fluorescent bulb.

Robert I really couldn't find or solve your question in regards to the difference between the 15w & the 25w bulbs's shipping costs. All I can say is the price of this set of 25watt tubular bulbs came with free shipping when I purchased it earlier this year and I think it's a good purchase. I don't dig the "add on" situation whatsoever and I don't know the facts behind it. I just add my items with this quote into my cart and paid out the total costs (with/without free shipping) of my purchases. Wish I can help you better with this matter. Try contacting a seller or even maybe contact Amazon's Help Online to further assist you.
