Why You Need LED Bulbs

After seeing what the LED lighting and LED bulbs types we can find is good also know how to choose the right according to the use or need. So we must take into account different aspects such as real power in lumens, the opening angle, temperature and light installation we have at home.

A lumen is the unit used to express the amount of light that is capable of generating a light bulb. The problem is that the lack of binding by manufacturers not to unify criteria so we can have some problems. However, the theory tells us that an LED is able to generate on its own between 60 and 90 lumens. Any value above is false or low or very optimal circumstances. As data, the record of lumens generated by an LED corn bulb was 150 lm / w.

70 being an average value that matches most of the bulbs in the market. Therefore, a 12W LED bulb would provide a light output of 840 lm. Which would replace the light that generates a 60W incandescent bulb. As you can see generating the same amount of light for each saved 48w incandescent bulb that we replace.

One of the problems that LED lighting from SMD bulb is the opening angle offered. This forces us to look well and specifications recommended by the manufacturer uses. The good news is that the optical technology used in LEDs has improved so much that now found capable of illuminating bulbs they alone an entire room

If you buy LED lamp bulbs whose opening angle is 40º get a more focused light that would be ideal to illuminate specific points as a picture, display, etc .. Therefore, for a room we need to get a light bulb with 120 degrees of openness that is suitable for rooms. Yes, possibly we will have to use more than one if the dimensions are larger than normal.
