Hi,

What's the brightness (let's say per foot) of the L.E.D. rope lights in
incandescent-light-watt-equivalent?

Thanks,

Hi,
Watt is unit of power(energy) There is no such thing as ILWE.


They use a similar rating on the CFLs. GE, for instance, call their 13
Watt bulbs Smart 60.

They really rate bulbs in lumens, but we've used watts for over 100 years so
there are a lot of habits to change. I don't know of anyone that looks at
the lumens on the package.
