How to Choose Right Energy Saving Light Bulbs? Many people are aware of how important it is to purchase energy-efficient light bulbs, but do you have an idea about their selection parameters for your home? When it comes to choosing the ideal energy-efficient light, there are several options available. You must be aware of the several types of energy-saving bulbs on the market, their brightness levels, base variations, and which bulb best suits your home. Let's look at a few of the things to bear in mind while purchasing low energy light bulbs. 5 Factors to Consider While Choosing Most Efficient Light Bulb Using energy-efficient light bulbs is a great way to save money and benefit the environment. One of the best energy-saving investments you can make for your home or company is energyefficient lighting. These address all three of your objectives, whether they be to conserve energy, reduce utility costs, or lessen the environmental effect. Focus on the below-mentioned factors prior to choosing low energy light bulbs for your specific needs: 1. Desired Brightness Level To select the desired brightness level, read the package. To compare bulb lighting, use watts. For instance, the output of a 9-watt (W) LED is comparable to a 45 W incandescent. Wattage, however, gauges energy use rather than light output. Lumens are the new unit used to compare bulbs. The apparent brightness is measured in "lumens," and the more the lumens, the brighter the bulb. Similar wattage bulbs might have different lumen outputs. Lumens must be the primary unit of comparison for all light bulb packages. 2. Warm Lighting Vs Cool Lighting 'Cool' white light, which is best for job lighting, and 'Warm' light, which is typically used for accent or small area lighting, are both available in new LED bulbs. 3. Pin Base or Standard Base For recessed or track lighting, LEDs are available in a variety of "pin" socket types as well as the traditional "screw" (Edison) bases. 4. Choose between dimmable and standard bulbs There are currently several dimmable LED lamps available. They are compatible with any typical dimmer switch. 5. Select Only High-Quality Bulbs or They will Perish Early
