Conversion Reference:
1 kilowatt (kW) = 1,000 watts
1 watt (W) = 1,000 milliwatts
1 milliwatt (mW) = 1,000 microwatts
Common Power Examples
Microwatts (μW)
RFID tag: 1-10 μW
Hearing aid: 500-1,000 μW
Bluetooth Low Energy: 10-500 μW
Milliwatts (mW)
LED indicator: 5-20 mW
Wireless sensor: 10-100 mW
Smartphone standby: 20-50 mW
Watts (W)
LED light bulb: 5-15 W
Laptop: 30-100 W
TV: 50-200 W
Understanding power units helps compare energy consumption across different devices.
One watt is equal to 1000 milliwatts:
1W = 1000mW
milliwatts to watts conversion formula
The power in watts P(W) is equal to the power in milliwatts P(mW), divided by 1000:
P(W) = P(mW) / 1000
Example
Convert 5mW to watts:
P(W) = 5mW / 1000 = 0.005W
