LED bulbs save energy and the environment
LED bulbs became truly widespread in the late 2010s. Behind the growth of LED lighting were both EU directives that pushed the change forward and, on the other hand, the need to reduce energy consumption. As the technology has developed, the lifespan of LED bulbs has also increased significantly and is in a class of its own compared to traditional bulbs.
LED bulbs for different fixtures
Switching to LED lighting doesn’t usually require buying a whole new LED fixture. In most luminaires, you can install an LED bulb using the so-called retrofit principle—in other words, you simply replace the old traditional bulb with an LED bulb. The bulb base, or rather the sheer number of base options, can be confusing for consumers. After the most familiar bases such as E27, E14, G23, GU5.3 and GU10, you quickly get into more uncommon models. A quick check of the bulb you’re replacing before you buy a new one helps a lot.In addition to the base type, it’s also worth checking the fixture’s dimensions so that, in some cases, a larger LED bulb will actually fit inside. The larger size of some LED bulbs is explained by the need for sufficient surface area for heat dissipation. Another thing that may surprise many buyers is that not all LED bulbs are suitable for dimming—but this is also indicated on the packaging.
Evaluate brightness and colour temperature carefully
There is considerable variation in the light output of LED bulbs, and unlike the old incandescent era, watts are no longer used to describe brightness—except when referring to power consumption. With LEDs, brightness is measured in lumens, abbreviated as lm. Most packages clearly indicate what kind of traditional incandescent or fluorescent bulb the LED’s light output corresponds to.The era of LED bulbs and fixtures has also brought different light colours. The basic categories are warm white, neutral white and cool white. Warm white can be further divided into an incandescent-like tone and a halogen-like tone, both of which appear more yellow. Choosing a colour tone is a matter of taste, but in some spaces one tone simply works better than another.
LED bulbs can save you real money
Today, LED bulbs can create the same kind of atmosphere as incandescent and halogen bulbs. Their durability has improved dramatically, while purchase prices have dropped significantly. In addition to excellent energy efficiency, they also offer convenience by reducing how often you need to buy and replace bulbs.You’ll find a huge selection of LED bulbs in the Karkkainen.com online store and at Kärkkäinen department stores.
