Lumens and Watts In addition to the correct placement of light and the right colour temperature, it is also important to ensure that there is enough light. Choose the right amount of light for each situation. Lumens are a measurement of light output – that is, how much light is emitted from the light source. Watts are a measurement of the light source’s energy consump- tion – whether it consumes a small or large amount of energy. In the table below you can see the relationship between Lumens and Watts, and which values a re appropriate for which situations.
