Nice thanks for the info.
Wattage = heat isn't 100% accurate. Yes, generally speaking, more wattage means more heat, but only wattage that isn't converted into light will be converted into heat. So when comparing different lights, one light may be converting more of it's energy into heat than the other.
If we're talking about a single light fixture, yes, increasing wattage will result in a heat increase. But if we're comparing different lights, their wattage doesn't necessarily translate into the same amount of heat.
I beg to differ. That light becomes heat when it's done being used. Numerous tests show it to be true.
The point is that an efficient source produces the same lumens with less heat. If, instead, you take more lumens with equal watts, you get equal heat - with more lumens - but still equal heat.
Believe me, I looked into it thoroughly, because it seems wrong. But it isn't. Watts are heat = same, same. The light becomes heat, but first we get to use it, so we get more light, yes. But equal heat with equal watts.
