Skin inflammation (dermatitis) sometimes develops around a venous ulcer. Non-venous skin ulcers are less common. For example, a skin ulcer may be caused by poor circulation due to narrowed arteries in the leg, problems with nerves that supply the skin, or other problems. The treatment for non-venous ulcers is different to that of venous ulcers. The rest of this leaflet deals only with venous leg ulcers.
But with the new lumen measurement, you can know exactly, without guessing, the brightness of light a certain number of lumens will produce. Let's consider some examples that compare and convert watts to lumens: â¢ 1  A 40-watt incandescent bulb equals around 450 lumens. â¢  A 60-watt incandescent bulb equals 800 lumens.
With newer light bulbs designed to use less energy, wattage is no longer a reliable way to gauge a light bulb's brightness. That takes lumens. Lumens measure brightness. A standard 60-watt incandescent bulb, for example, produces about 800 lumens of light.By comparison, a CFL bulb produces that same 800 lumens using less than 15 watts.umens = brightnesswatts = energy. Light bulbs are getting better. Newer bulbs â like halogen incandescents, CFLs and LEDs â last longer and use less energy than traditional incandescent bulbs, saving you money on your energy bills.
