Efficacy vs. Efficiency in Regards to Lighting: Which One is More Important?

2023-08-07T13:25:45-07:00February 27, 2023|Lighting Guides|Comments Off on Efficacy vs. Efficiency in Regards to Lighting: Which One is More Important?

Efficacy is a measure of how well a light source converts electrical energy into visible light. It is expressed in lumens per watt (lm/W) and is used to determine the efficiency of a light source. In simpler terms, efficacy is a measure of how efficiently a light source produces visible light. Efficiency, on the other hand, is a measure of how well a lighting system converts electrical energy into usable visible light. It takes into account the efficiency of the light source, as well as other factors such as the ballast, reflector, and other components. Efficiency is expressed as a percentage, and the higher the percentage, the more efficient the lighting system.
