Do You Know Your Lumens?

When working with halogen and strobe lights, manufacturers traditionally use watts to relay the “brightness” of the light output.  A watt is a measurement of power, so when more efficient and brighter LEDs were introduced that produced less power, watts no longer conveyed the same meaning.  Lumens started to gain more traction in the market.  A lumen measures the actual light emitted from the source over a period of time.
