Does a higher actual wattage of a bulb make it brighter?

[DiElliott]

Bulbs with higher actual wattage are indeed brighter. Here are some related details about wattage: 1. Power and fuel consumption: When there is no difference in engine hardware, different performance levels are achieved by adjusting ECU data, combined with variations in vehicle configurations, to position the car differently. Turbocharged engines can control the turbocharger via the ECU to achieve different boost pressures, making it relatively simple to reduce power by lowering the boost pressure. Typically, such engines are designed for high power, and reducing power does not affect reliability. However, low-power engines without optimization will generally have similar fuel consumption to high-power versions. 2. Differences between high and low power: Different power versions also have variations in valve timing structures. Low-power versions, for better fuel economy, are equipped with a dual-cycle system. Simply put, by adjusting the valve timing structure, some power is sacrificed at low RPMs to achieve better fuel efficiency—something high-power versions lack. This may also affect many supporting systems, such as cooling system pipelines, cooling fans, engine motors, and turbos.
