The power consumption of downlights can vary based on the type of bulb or fixture and its wattage. Understanding the power usage of downlights is essential for managing energy costs and making informed lighting choices. Here's what you need to know: Incandescent downlights are the least energy-efficient option. They typically consume a higher amount of power and produce more heat. The wattage of incandescent downlights can range from 35 watts to 100 watts or more. Halogen downlights are more energy-efficient than incandescent ones but still consume more power than LEDs. They typically range from 20 watts to 50 watts. LED downlights are the most energy-efficient choice. They use significantly less power while providing the same or even better lighting quality. The wattage of LED downlights can vary from 3 watts to 15 watts, depending on the brightness and design. Dimmable LED downlights offer further control over power usage. When dimmed, they use even less electricity, helping you save energy and reduce costs. To calculate the power usage of your downlights, multiply the wattage of each bulb or fixture by the number of downlights you have in use. This will give you the total power consumption in watts (W). To find the energy consumption in kilowatt-hours (kWh), divide the total wattage by 1,000. Choosing energy-efficient LED downlights and considering dimmable options can significantly reduce your power consumption and lighting costs. Be sure to check the wattage and energy efficiency label when purchasing downlights to make informed decisions.How Much Power Do Downlights Use?
