How many watts does an LED bulb consume?
Type of calculation: Calculating the value after a percentage decrease.
Calculator usage:
Option 1 (Direct method): Use the Decreased Value CALCULATOR ("Calculate new value after percentage decrease"). Enter the traditional bulb power consumption 60 W (Original) and the percentage of lower consumption 80% (Decrease). The calculator will directly give you the LED bulb power consumption.
Option 2 (Step-by-step method):
Step 1: Calculate how much less energy the LED bulb consumes. Use the Basic Percentage CALCULATOR ("What is X% of Y?"). Enter the percentage of lower consumption as 80 (X) and the power consumption of the traditional bulb as 60 (Y). The calculator will calculate 80% of 60 W.
Step 2: Subtract the value calculated in Step 1 from the power consumption of the traditional bulb.
Explanation using a formula:
We are looking for the power consumption of the LED bulb, which uses 80% less than a 60 W bulb.
Reduction in consumption = 80% of 60 W
Reduction in consumption = (80 / 100) × 60 W = 0.8 × 60 W = 48 W
LED power consumption = Traditional power consumption - Reduction in consumption
LED power consumption = 60 W - 48 W = 12 W

LED power consumption = Traditional power consumption - Reduction in consumption
LED power consumption = 60 W - 48 W = 12 W
Answer: The LED bulb consumes watts.
