LED bulbs have transformed the way we think about lighting. They consume up to 80% less energy than traditional incandescent bulbs, last significantly longer, and are available in a wide variety of shapes and color temperatures.
When selecting LED bulbs, start by considering lumens rather than watts—lumens measure brightness, while watts only measure energy consumption. Next, choose the color temperature based on the ambiance you want to create:
5000K–6500K (Daylight): Best for offices, workshops, or anywhere high visibility is required.
Also, pay attention to the base type (E26, GU10, A19, etc.) to ensure compatibility with your fixtures. While the initial cost of LED bulbs can be higher, the long-term savings on energy bills and replacement costs make them the smarter investment.
2700K–3000K (Warm White): Ideal for living rooms, bedrooms, and cozy spaces.
3500K–4100K (Cool White): Suitable for kitchens, bathrooms, and work areas.
