Watts vs Lumen
Lumen (or Luminous ux) is the standard measure
for the mount of light emitted by a light source.
Unlike light intensity (Candela), Lumens is a measure
of the amount of light rather than its intensity.
What are Lumens?
Lumens are the new way to measure and compare
the light output from a lamp. Wattage is a measure
of power consumed not light delivered. As lights are
designed to emit light, the correct measurement is
Lumen.
With LEDs it is not necessarily the wattage that tells
you if it is more powerful than another LED lamp.
Two LED lamps with the same wattage could have
dierent Lumen values. To adequately compare the
two lamps it is best compare Lumen output.

LED and
other lamps
Using the table below you can see the Lumen values
to be reached by LED Lamps and their incandescent
equivalent (for non-directional lamp, as dened by
EC244/2009).
LED oers a true alternative to incandescent lamps
and the drawbacks of other existing technologies.
LED lamps last longer, are more ecient, can be
dimmed, and switch on instantly.

It is time to upgrade
All over the world, solutions are being sought for
ecient use of energy. One key area is lighting.
In Europe, its share in total energy consumption is
about 14 %.
Already back in 2008, Toshiba announced the
cessation of the production of conventional incan-
descent lamps because their energy eciency is
too low - they only reach eciency classes D, E, F
and G.
And in 2010, Toshiba actually ceased manufacturing
incandescent lamps worldwide.
Since then, we have replaced incandescent lamps
with modern LED lamps in almost all areas of ligh-
ting. Their low energy consumption and optimal light
quality and excellent design make the transition so
simple.
No matter where you need light, there is an
energy-and cost-saving solution using Toshiba
LED lamps and luminaires. Check for yourself,
because this is the only way we can achieve the
ambitious goals of energy reduction.

solutions
This concerns all of us:
Save on the cost of electricity - with our LED lamps
and luminaires, this can be up to 85 %.
Your investment will pay for itself sooner than you
think. Modern LED lighting solutions oer a very
long operating life. They pay for themselves over a
very short period of time.
You also avoid the heat of conventional incande-
scent lamps. And, depending on the number of
incandescent lamps used, this reduces the need for
additional cooling.
And, you reduce unnecessary CO2 pollution of our
environment.
Thus, we are in a position to do something ourselves
- for ourselves and for the environment.
Let‘s enter our world!
So simply take advantage
of LED
