    Good morning,

    What the sign below says. At what maximum power can I screw the LED bulb into the holder? 9W or 60W?

    On the E14 thread you will not find a LED light source with a power greater than 6-7W, so there is nothing to think about here. greetings

    I suppose that the information contained here results mainly from the LUMINOUS FLUX produced by the light source used here: a 9W compact fluorescent lamp gives +/- as much light (~ 600lm) as a 60W tungsten bulb. A similar amount of light will be provided by a 6W "warm white" LED lamp. Such a limitation is obvious, for example in desk lamps, in order to avoid glare.

    In some luminaires, the limitation of the light source power results from the thermal resistance of the materials used to build the luminaire, then, for example, the permissible power of 60W applies to any light source that produces heat.

    In my opinion, it is about the heat resistance of the frame.
    "Traditional" light bulbs generate significant amounts of heat when lit - as probably everyone knows.
    A similar situation also applies to compact fluorescent lamps, but in this case the light-emitting element and the electronic components inside the housing heats up.

    There is no description of LED bulbs on the plate because the heat emission in these light sources is relatively low.
    In my opinion, you can even install a much more powerful LED bulb than the ones proposed above - of course as needed.

    I don't know what the maximum power LEDs are currently producing, the maximum I found is 36W

Topic summary

The discussion centers around determining the maximum wattage for an LED bulb that can be used in a specific lamp holder. The consensus indicates that the holder is limited to a maximum of 9W for LED bulbs, which is comparable to the light output of a 60W incandescent bulb. This limitation is primarily due to the thermal resistance of the lamp's materials, as traditional bulbs generate significant heat. Some participants suggest that higher wattage LED bulbs (up to 36W) could potentially be used, given their lower heat emission, but caution is advised. The E14 thread is noted to typically accommodate LED bulbs up to 6-7W.
