You are right. It is just a way to have some sort of measurement for comparison as far as im concerned.

you all cant be serious.... if i ahve one light bulb that puts out 1600 lumens. yyou cant even begin to tell me that if i take three more of those samw light bulb and jam them all together an inch away from eachother. that theres still only going to be 1600 lumens ouput. its how many lumens output not how many are retained. if these light bulbs held a purpose of retaining 1600 lumens a piece then sure, i guess youre not going to add them together when you combine them. jst think about it.
i dont think any of you are electricians. as to where thats what i asked.
