![]() Incandescent bulbs are very traditional light bulbs. Recessed lighting and downlight applications.Outdoor lighting that will be left on all night.Directional lighting such as floor lamps.Can be prone to overheat, which can lead to bulbs operating at their peak capacity for 80% of their lifespan.On the cooler end of the color temperature spectrum and give off blue light, which isn’t ideal for relaxing spaces in the home.Compatible with any fixture regardless of watt requirement.Energy-efficient, contains no mercury, and are typically made from recycled materials.They also come at a more affordable price. Now, LED lighting is still highly energy-efficient and long-lasting. At the time, though, they were quite pricey, selling at around $40 per bulb, but had a lifespan of 10 to 22 years. In the 1990s, a high-brightness blue LED light bulb was created for the residential market. They were mainly used as indicators in professional laboratory equipment. The first LEDs were expensive at around $200 per bulb. ![]() Over the next 20 years, red, blue, and yellow LED lights were invented. Light-emitting diodes, commonly referred to as LED light bulbs, first debuted in the 1960s but emitted infrared light. We will discuss these pros and cons below, along with the best use for each light bulb. Each light bulb has benefits and drawbacks. There are four mainstay types of lightbulbs: light-emitting diode (LED), incandescent, halogen, and compact fluorescent (CFL).

We’ll also explain the different types of light emitted by light bulbs and how the right illumination can enhance the ambiance of a room and your mental and physical health. Don’t worry-we’re here to help make the decision process easier.īelow, we’ll discuss different light bulb types and the pros and cons for each. That’s why choosing the right lighting for your dining room chandelier or bedside table lamp is so important. This will ensure a stable high light output for a much longer period, and prolong the lifetime of the LED Chip.Photo: Delmaine Donson / E+ / Getty ImagesĬhoosing the perfect light fixture and an accompanying light bulb can completely transform a room. That is why all of our flashlights and headlamps are equipped with a solid metal heat sink, which uses the entire device to efficiently divert the heat throughout the core structure. It is important to keep in mind that the more power consumed the more heat is produced, and heat will always result in a loss of energy. The LED Chip is more efficient and will convert much more energy to light than the halogen bulb. It is also worth to know that 1Watt halogen and 1 Watt LED do not produce the same amount of light. It will only tell you how quickly it will drain the battery, and not how much light it produces. That is why you should not look for the amount of watt consumed, when buying any kind of light. ![]() The short answer is no, Watt shows how much energy the product consumes, not how much light output (lumens) it provides. In order to get a constant light output, we use a Constant Current Output technology in some of our products in order to get the highest possible light output for the entire life of the battery.Ĭan I use Watt to determine the power of a flashlight Watt is a unit for power consumption To prevent this in our products, we perform light tests on all of our products to ensure that the lumens value is correct. Most flashlights and headlamps quickly drop in lumens and promise a higher lumens output than they can achieve. We have one at our factory and one at our head office to ensure that each batch is perfect and delivers what we promise. ![]() When we measure the amount of lumens, we use a highly specialized light sphere from Everfine. Producing and creating a perfect beam pattern does not reveal enough information to show how the light output is created. But lumens will only show us a part of the picture. When we test and compare our products, we use lumens to see the total amount of light output. You can roughly say that the more Lumens the brighter the light. LM (Lumens) is a measurement unit, which tells what the total amount of light emitted from a flashlight or headlamp. Lumens and light Luminous flux is know as Lumens and is a unit of light ![]()
