Re: Lumens vrs watts
There is no direct proportion/formula. The newer standard appears to be lumens. Used to be candlepower years ago. Since the power management/efficiencies of different lights, bulbs, LED emitters, etc vary so much, watts can't always be considered a reliable barometer. One light may advertise 5 watts! While a different light may only use 2-3 watts, but its total lumens, beam distance, etc is superior. One way I like to think about it is like this: Cars, HP, and MPG. Just because one car has more HP than the next doesn't necessarily mean that it has a lower MPG. Some cars that have a low HP rating may be terrible at MPG. While a 436 HP 2011 Corvette may get 25+ MPG on the HWY.
Bottom Line: I suggest comparing lumens to lumens, as long as the two lights being compared have the same ANSI FL1 specs.
