How to choose an LED bulb
Pay attention to a number of parameters:
Power... The actual (from 6 to 100 W) and equivalent (indicated in comparison with the characteristics of conventional incandescent lamps) are indicated on the packaging. For example, a 12 W LED lamp shines in the same way as a 110 W incandescent light bulb, so the first option is more energy efficient.
Color temperature:
- Up to 2800 K - warm yellow light (similar to old incandescent lamps);
- 3000 K - warm white light (analogue - modern incandescent lamps);
- 4000 K - neutral white (suitable for kitchen and office);
- 5000 K - cold white (for industrial premises only).
Color rendering index... The lower the value, the greater the distortion. The optimal indicator for a home is from 80.
Flicker or ripple factor... 5-10% is quite a comfortable level for human eyes. If the parameter is 35% or higher, such LEDs are not recommended for home use.
Cooling system... Its presence prevents the combustion of the semiconductor crystal emitting light. Thus, it is possible to extend the life of the LED lamp.
Lifetime... The world accepted standard for LED is the L70 mark. If the package says that it is equal to 50,000 hours, this means that after this time, the brightness of the lamp will decrease by about 30%.
