Don’t Miss! Tips for Choosing LED Light Bulbs

Why LED bulbs? LED bulbs provide more light and has no UV radiation, that can damage our skin. LED is more durable than any other bulb. It also saves electricity and add more light to your home. LED lights can help save electricity up to 80%. It is a worthwhile, cost-effective light for your home or building.

LED Illumination Technology

Light Emitting Diode is a new light technology that is durable, high brightness, saves electricity and low heat. The brightness level varies according to the LED chip. You can see the brightness or the amount of light from the value (lumen: lm), which indicates the brightness. For example, 100 Watts light bulb provide 400 lumen of brightness. LED light only uses 5 Watts.

How to Choose LED light?

1. Light Color:

There are 2 main light colors: Warm White, which provides warm light, suitable for relaxation. And Day Light, provides brighter and clearer light, suitable for office or kitchen.

Warm White a red-orange tone light provides warm tone with light color temperature below 3,000 Kelvin.

Cool White a white, cool tone light which comfort the eyes. It is brighter than Warm White light. With light color temperature approximately 3,000-4,500 Kelvin.

Day Light a white-blue light similar to an afternoon daylight. With light color temperature approximately 4,500-6,500 Kelvin and up. Provides realistic light color.

	2. Different size of light bulb bases Don’t forget to observe the light bulb bases whether it is skirted medium or miniature screw, pin or plug. Clear or Turbid Light Bulb There are clear and turbid light bulbs, the coating is different which gives different light as well. Clear light bulb is suitable for lamps with pattern design. This kind of lamp uses much light. Turbid light bulb gives consistent light, suitable to use without lamp. Light Dimmer Switch Choosing LED lights, you need to make sure that light is dimmable or not. Some LED lights are dimmable and some may not. Observe the symbol on the picture (Dimmable / Not Dimmable)
3. Shapes of LED Light Bulb Ellipsoidal or Candle Bulb gives light similar to candle, suitable for dim light lamp. Arbitrary Bulb gives wide angle illumination, suitable for typical lamps and lamp that creates pattern when turn on the light. Tubular Bulb gives light similar to fluorescent light or neon light, suitable for typical lighting.
4. Light Distribution Angle LED light provides light just like a flashlight. Therefore, choosing LED light, you need to know about light distribution angle from the reflector of each light bulb model. To make sure that using LED light can really save electricity, you need to look at an electricity saving value of the light. If the value is A++ can save the most electricity and down to the least is E.
