I just received my device and decided to check the accuracy. NOT! A 75watt bulb measures 65watts, my 1150 watt crock pot measures 975. Anyone else check?

That is concerning but you might want to consider that the ratings on your devices may be conservatively placed higher than their actual draw. Also your line might be undervoltage (110V would cause less wattage draw as the devices you describe would attempt to operate underwattage). It's normal for voltage to fluctuate between 110-130V, though some devices would treat undervoltage like a brownout.

I am using the 75W in a desk lamp that indicates a max of 60w. The LED bulb has very low heat generation and normally that is the problem. The only thing to be aware of is if the heat sink doesn't have some room for air circulation. There is almost no heat coming off the part of the bulb that provides illumination. Remember, the LED bulb draws and dissipates only 17w.)

The unit I received says 14.4 volts, 18.7 watt hour and 1300 mAh. That is 1.3 AH. So neither is accurate. How about that. Plus, if you divide 18.7 AH by 14.4 volts the actual AH is 1.2986...actually less than 1.3AH. Not all is as it seems!

Hi, the pot I'm using is NO option on that issue. From the label (spec.), it is 480W. Thanks for asking. Wing Lau.

Let me add, you can go to hisgadget.com, call them and ask for the the number for their tech support for oxyled lamps. Then call that guy and ask him your question. It is possible they may have tested it or have a more scientific estimate based on battery capacity and power consumption. If you get to the right person they actually know their stuff.

I have not measured it using a "actual usage" meter, but mine is a 65W and having researched it I remember other people reporting the very same thing. I am using this light for Aquarium purposes and so for me the actual wattage is not what is important...it is the actual lumens produced and the color in Kelvins that makes the difference. For my aquarium uses, I found this bulb to produce outstanding results.

Mine had 300 watt on it. Its in a three bulb fixture with 100 watt bulbs, not even warm after 5 mins.

Dude my light only pulls 148 w measured on my killawatt meter. The light also was no good for growing weed. I feel so ripped off.

It appears to me that the importer is a bit remiss in dealing with the details. In addition to the discrepancy in brightness, he also lists two different wattage ratings. I suspect that he is now selling the 20-watt version of this light, vs. the older 18-watt version, and simply botched the ratings. (1650-lumens)/(18-watts) = 91.7-lumens/watt(1950-lumens)/(20-watts) = 97.5-lumens/wattBoth of these figures are VERY efficient, and replace fluorescent tubes VERY well.

Temperature-to-required-wattage is pretty nonlinear. I find the 3 o'clock position to be a good starting point. Try starting at 3 o'clock position and adjust as necessary.

Hello Susan, I'm sorry I don't know the watts. May be in the detail section on ad. Happy Thanksgiving. Cheryl

That is 100 watts per socket. But since 100 incandescent are extinct, I've been using 60's and it looks very nice. Now they're going extinct too. I hate CFLs. Poisonous Mercury in them.

Depends on wattage of crock pot. 100 watts = OK. Maybe true for "warm" but "cooking" is probably 750 watts.

I am pretty sure that it is a 60 watt. I was not pleased. I used it in a front porch light. The light was in a wet area. It shattered within a few days of putting it in. They refunded my money quickly I bought one at Home Depot, different brand, and it has been fine.

Hi Benita, best way is to remove the bulb and get the nameand watt amount. Then search the Internet.

It is an interesting question When I just installed the light was very weak, at that time I compared it with a 15 watt incandescent. However, few months after, it has become brighter -maybe as a result of longer and sunnier days-; I would say today it compares to a 35 watt (yes, in between 25 and 40).

I confirm first post: Low: 90W, Medium: 145W, and High for me was 181W. It's a gas-guzzler for sure. :)
