Light
The lumen specification describes the brightness of the illuminant. The higher this value is, the brighter the room is illuminated. A 60W incandescent bulb has an average of about 700 lumens, a 60W halogen tube as well. The smart bulb under consideration here emits about 350 lumen according to the manufacturer's information from Philips. Philips has defined the power consumption for the devices described here with 5.7 w. However, the specification may differ from the actual power consumption depending on which colors/color temperatures and brightnesses are set. For example, while manufacturers mostly measure lumens at white color and full brightness, the power consumption might have been measured at slight dimming. However, it would also be possible to measure at full brightness, which could lower the power consumption at 5.7 w. In short, this is an approximate guide from Philips.
