What Lumens do I need to replace a halogen GU10?

Lumens is a universal measurement of how bright a light is. The higher the Lumen number the brighter the light. Wattage has historically been the way of measuring light output for incandescent and halogen bulbs, so as long as you replaced your 50 Watt bulb with another 50 Watt you'd be fine. However, things have now changed since the introduction of LED technology, as the light output of the same wattage can change vastly between different brands. That's why Lumens is important, as it is a more accurate measurement of light output. This will create consistent lighting throughout your home or workplace. LEDs are great for your pockets and the environment, you will use around 87% less energy for exactly the same light output compared to halogen. Below you can find a table of the equivalent lumens of Halogen and LED.
