Helps to show the brightness of an LED light bulb
“Lumen” is a unit we often see in consumer electronics stores. That’s right – it is used to show the brightness of an LED light bulb. Watt, which is used for incandescent light bulbs, cannot be used for LED due to its low power consumption. Therefore, this unit came to be used to show the amount of irradiated light.
