Volts or Watts? The answers received may be because of the question asked. The voltage is what is supplied by the light fixture as supplied to the home (the bulbs operate at 110-130v). The power consumption is measured in watts. One watt equals one volt times one amp (1W=1Vx1A). On the bulb, it says 10 watts (the power consumption). So, in a hone that provides approximately 120 volts of pressure, the bulb uses 10 watts of power at maximum output (brightest setting), and draws 0.8 amps of current (10w/120v). Hope that helps.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.120volt
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I googled a lot of answers to this question. The best I could find is that the bulbs take a maximum of 10 watts when on full brightness compared to 60W for incandescent or 13W for corkscrew CFL. But when off (no light) each bulb takes as little as 0.3-0.5W unless the bulb is communicating with hub to relay signals to mesh network or download updates(very rare). So if dark bulb takes 0.5W x 24 hours per day (12Wh) for 30 days (360Wh=0.36kWh), then at $0.15/kWh(typical electric cost) the dark bulb consumes $0.05 energy per month. If you used each bulb 3 hours/day, the LED (10W) saves 9Wh/day vs replaced 13W CFL, that means the LED saves 9x30=270Wh per month or about $0.04. So...adding the light savings to the always-on smart/comm. cost...each bulb costs 1 cent more per month vs CFL. If you left the LED on ALL THE TIME at 75% brightness, it would cost the same as using a 60W incandescent bulb 3 hours/day (I’ll leave the math as a student exercise ;?)
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.This bulb plugs in to a 120V outlet. There is no information as to the actual voltage used by the bulb as power consumption is not measured in volts.
