Do LED Lights Get Hot?

Do LEDs Get Hot? Find out more!

Well, what is hot? It’s important to first understand, fundamentally, the concept of temperature. Wikipedia has this to say about the concept: Roughly, the temperature of a body at rest is a measure of the mean of the energy of the translational, vibrational and rotational motions of matter’s particle constituents, such as molecules, atoms, and subatomic particles. So, the temperature of an object is proportional to its internal kinetic energy. Now, let’s think about this in terms of a standard 60 watt (W) incandescent bulb – which only converts 2% of its energy into visible light. That means 98% of…

FAQ | How Do LED Lights Compare To 60 Watt Light Bulbs?

LED lights versus incandescent light bulb watts

We get this question a lot and one main concept has been driven into many people’s heads due to old, conventional lighting ideas: Many believe that the way to measure the brightness of a light source is by looking at the watts. This, in fact, is not the case; watts are a great measure of power used, but are not a measure of luminosity. It no longer makes sense to look at all lights and base their brightness on how many watts are used. Incredibly energy efficient lights, such as LED lights, are throwing this whole idea out the window.…
