Higher energy consumption for a particular lighting design (LED, CFL, incandescent) will translate into improve light output, but a 40 W incandescent bulb will produce less light than a 10 W LED lightbulb. This is because the LED bulb can more efficiently turn energy into light than an incandescent bulb which loses a significant amount of energy in the form of heat. Lumens are the proper unit of measurement for determining the brightness of a light source – a higher lumen rating means a brighter light.
