Lowest Possible Wattage for LED Bulbs

I am also looking for the lowest power bulbs as my grandma is still on 5/6 x 100w old school ones and she wants me to sort it out for her. I thought I'd go for the best there is as she doesn't have much money these days.

As for googling "1 watt led", yes I have tried that and, no, there aren't any that come up, at least not in bulb form.

It's worth remembering that as people age their eye sight changes and elderly people need more light to see properly, so moving to LED is good but you won't be doing your gran any favours by getting under powered lamps.

You want something at least equivalent to 100w, so probably 13w LED or more, the higher the better.

You must have a different google to me then!

A search for "1W BC" on Amazon brings up a few 1W BC LED lamps, mostly in a small "golf ball" size. So they must exist.

Typing "1W GU10" in Amazon search brings up quite a few.

Less watts generally means reduced brightness. Compare the lumens, and also look at the spread of light - not just the power usage. As already stated, you probably won't save any money replacing bulbs that are already low powered.

One LED strip I have consumes 24W for 300 LED (5 meters) and can be cut around each group of 3 LEDs.
How is that for some 0.24W lights? :j
It's 12V though (can also be 5 or 24V)
