How much light can I get out of this fixture?
Hi,
I'm looking at a ceiling fan that can take "(3) 40W 110V candelabra base (E12)". With modern light bulbs (CFL or LED) how much light will I actually be able to get out of it? Many thanks in advance, Sam |

Many thanks in advance, Sam I'm guessing 12 bushels. But if you don't like my guess, there are approximately 1 billion resources on the web for you to figure that out. Sounds like a science homework question that you're disinclined to research on your own. |

Many thanks in advance, Sam Here is a CF that puts out 825 lumens:http://www.globalindustrial.com/p/el...act-fluorescen... The issue isn't really how much light the fixture is capable of handling. It's how much HEAT. Given that CFLs produce about 75% less heat than an incadescent, you can put any size you want in. A 40W CFL would produce about as much light as a 150W incandescent and I'm sure you don't want anywhere near 3X 150W equiv of light. |

The idea is to get an equivalent amount of lumens as the incandescent produced |

As for retail-available ones, there are "60W-equivalent" candelabra- base CFLs having actual wattage around 14 watts or so. They don't produce more heat than 40W incandescents, despite CFLs being more efficient at producing non-radiant heat than incandescents are. My guess at this moment such CFLs are good for 700-800 lumens, maybe claiming at least 800. 700 lumens is "lowish 60 watt equivalence". Three of these CFLs out-lumens even a 100W 120V halogen or two 50W 12V halogens designed to last typically 2,000 hours or more. ============== I would rather go with "40W-equivalent", in order to avoid the most-aggressive design. I have good experience with 40W-equiv. CFLs with outer bulbs in ceiling fan fixtures. They use only 9 watts each. =============== Starting dimmer and needing a full minute or 2 to warm up is worse for CFLs that have outer bulbs over the tubing, not-as-bad for ones with bare tubing. (At least generally!) However, I don't see many candelabra-base CFLs without outer bulbs. Any chance of replacing the candelabra sockets with E26 ones? ======= -- - Don Klipstein ) |

I would say go for medium base AKA E26, 13-watt bare spiral tubing CFL. I have years of experience with that being OK. Looking close to 800 lumens from each 13 watt spiral CFL. -- - Don Klipstein ) |

SAM I DONT KNOW WHY YOU ASK THESE. NUMBSKULLS ANYTHING.
YOU'D BE BETTER OFF GOING TO SOME UNIVERSITY/EDUCATIONAL GROUP.. NOT ONE OF YOU HOME REPAIRERS HAS ANSWERED THE QUESTION. IF ANY OF YOU GIVES HIM THE ANSWER ON LUMENS. ..I WILL RETRACT THE NUMBSKULLS COMMENT. BUT FOR NOW ...IT STANDS AS A FACT... YOU COME OFF AS A BUNCH OF COMEDIANS WITH NO PROFESSIONAL EDUCATION AT ALL....A RHESUS MONKEY ON A SPEACH MACHINE WOULD GIVE A BETTER ANSWER THAN YOU HAVE. PAT ECUM TGITM |
