A lumen has a brightness equal to one candle; therefore, a 1500-lumen LED bulb means the 1,500 candles were lit in a single room. The 1500 lumens are considered best for the halogen lights. These are the ideal choices for outdoor lights because they provide the best brightness with low energy consumption.

A lumen measures the amount of light that comes from a bulb, also known as light bulb brightness. A standard 40W bulb is equal to 400+ lumens, which represents the brightness of a bulb. Typically, the higher the wattage, the higher the lumens, and the greater output of light.

A 5000-lumen LED bulb is a very bright light source, and if you are using it in a relatively small room, it can be very harsh. In this case, it is recommended that you use a 1000-lumen LED bulb. Under normal circumstances, garages, utility rooms, and warehouses are more suitable for 5000-lumen bulbs.
