Lite Source Octopi Ceiling Light output
I am interested in the Lite Source OCTOPI 8-Lite Ceiling Light - LS-18488-MULTI. I am not familiar with how much light a 10w halogen bulb produces. Can you help me understand how much light I can expect from this lighting fixture?
Answer: Since this Lite Source ceiling light fixture has 10 heads and each head is a 10W Halogen lamp, the total wattage is 80W. Halogen is a bit more efficient than the regular incandescent lamping. A rough estimate is around 15%. Therefore, this ceiling light has a light output that’s close to a 90-Watt incandescent lamp. It’s not going light up an entire room. You will likely need some other supplemental light source.
