Introduction:
- The market of LED Lights is blooming very fast. Many companies serve LED Bulb to their customer and it is not easy for customer to choose best LED Bulb among them.
- The customer does not aware the technical parameter of LED, so It becomes more difficult to find out the best quality of LED Bulbs.
- With traditional incandescent light bulbs it was simple to get the right light bulb. If a 60 watt bulb is the broke or fused you have just get another 60 watt. When it comes to LED lighting, it’s very different. Since LED light bulbs doesn’t use the same amount of power that incandescent bulbs use.
- LED is described in terms of incandescent equivalence so we may see an LED bulb described as a 60 watt equivalent when in reality it only uses about 9.5 watts. This is because LEDs are measured by lumens (the total amount of visible light put out by a light bulb). There is not a direct mathematical comparison between the lumen ratings used in LEDs and the wattage consumed by an incandescent.
- To choose best LED Bulbs we should consider following technical Parameters.
Parameters for Choosing LED Bulbs
There are different factors to consider when choosing a suitable LED replacement bulb
Basic Technical Parameters:
- Lumen (Lighting Intensity)
- Watt (Power Consumption)
- Correlated Color Temperature (Light color)
- Color Rendering Index (CRI)
- Beam angle (Spread of light)
- Efficiency (Lumen / Watt)
- Power Factor
Other Parameters:
- Instant Light
- Dimming capacity
- LED Driver
- LED Chip
- Weight
- Heating
