Dear sifusss,
What will happen if i use higher (slightly) wattage than the calculated wattage for E27 LED bulbs?
For example, in living area - the calculated wattage supposed to be 5W but i mistakenly bought 7W bulb instead.
The difference might not be too high but does it will increase the brightness or the electrical bill?
Hope can get insightful input from the sifus here.
Thank you.

it will be brighter and logic wise it should increase but I doubt you will notice any increase in the electricity billssince it is just 2w difference. Unless you're going from 5w to 100w light

Unless you're going from 5w to 100w light I bought led bulb in natural light for living area. Do you think it will be too bright with 2W difference ?
