Yes, light output is commonly measured in lumens.
A 500-lumen light is somewhat dimmer than a standard 60-watt incandescent bulb, which typically produces about 800 lumens.
Applications for 500 Lumens:
- Accent lighting for small spaces
- Nightstand lamps
- Decorative fixtures
If you're aiming for a light similar in brightness to a 60-watt bulb, you'll want something in the range of 800 lumens. If energy efficiency is important, look for an LED bulb rated at about 8–12 watts that produces 800 lumens.
