Ballasts for SDW Bulbs
Gas discharge lamps are only usable in combination with a ballast. This regulates the current that the lamp receives. Budgetlight offers a wide range of ballasts for gas discharge lamps. For example, there are ballasts for SDW gas discharge lamps. Due to these ballasts being made by Philips, they are perfectly matched with the Philips SDW gas discharge lamps. You can often see the SDW gas discharge lamp used as shop lighting or in downlighters.
Wattage VS Luminous Flux
| LUMEN | INCANDESCENT | LED | CFL | HALOGEN |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 200 - 300 Lm | 25 Watt | 2 Watt | 5 Watt | 20 Watt |
| 300 - 500 Lm | 40 Watt | 6 Watt | 7 Watt | 28 Watt |
| 500 - 800 Lm | 60 Watt | 9 Watt | 12 Watt | 42 Watt |
| 700 - 1000 Lm | 75 Watt | 10 Watt | 14 Watt | 53 Watt |
| > 1000 Lm | 100 Watt | >15 Watt | >16 Watt | >70 Watt |
Luminous flux (in lumens) is a measure of the total amount of light a lamp puts out. Wattage is the amount of watt a bulb uses in 1 hour. We've long identified bulbs by their wattage, but that is actually a measure of electricity, not the brightness of a bulb. The amount of light a bulb generates is measured in lumens. An incandescent 60-watt bulb, for example, gives off 750 lumens of light and LED bulbs can deliver the same amount of light using as little as 9 Watt! The amount of Lumen divided by the wattage will show you which lamps are most energy efficient.
