Classic Light bulb or LED Light Bulb: what differences in terms of lighting?

You hesitate to change your lights for fear of having a difference in brightness? This article reviews classic and LED lighting.

No lighting difference

There is absolutely no difference between the light created by an LED light and the light created by an incandescent or halogen light. With the naked eye, it is impossible to say if a luminaire is equipped with a LED lamp or conventional light (if the lights have of course the same hue of light i.e. warm white in general).

70 to 90% less energy consumed

The main difference between conventional lights and LEDs is in electricity consumption. To produce the same luminous flux, an LED light consumes 70 to 90% less electricity than an incandescent light that loses most of the electricity in the form of heat.
As an example, a conventional 75W light can be replaced by an equivalent LED lighting consuming 8W. GU10 50W halogen- intensive spotlights are replaceable by their LED equivalent from 5 to 7W.

Life expectancy 20 times higher

Another advantage, the average life of LED lights is 20,000 hours minimum is 10 to 20 times more than conventional lights. This saves many lights changes: saving time and money.

A profitable investment

In the end, although slightly more expensive to buy lights or LED spots can save 70% to 80% per year. The initial investment is paid back on average in 12 months.

Adapt your lighting to your age

Adapt your lighting to your age Over time, our eyes become more sensitive and react more strongly to light. It is, therefore, necessary to do some adjustment so in the lighting of the house in order to maintain a good quality of life and sight. Space can become more comfortable even when the view changes with age. How does the perception of light change with age? Changes in vision can occur throughout life, but once they reach a certain age, these changes become even more worrying than simply not seeing objects from a distance. Just like the rest of the body, some muscles of the eye begin to weaken. Have you ever shone a light in one eye and watched the pupil dilate? The muscles involved in this phenomenon are intended to control the quality of the light collected and, as we get older, they find themselves lagging behind in their reaction time. This implies that the eyes take longer to adapt to dark or bright environments. Other changes can occur such as the yellowing of th...

Shape and angle of illumination

Image
Shape and angle of illumination Looking to replace your lights or to create LED lighting , you have to first determine the base and the power of your light, then it remains to take into account the aesthetic criteria and the rendering of lighting as the shape and the lighting angle Determine the angle of illumination The scattering angle determines the direction, the volume in which the light will be sent. The more light has a diffusion angle close to 360 °, the more the light is distributed in all directions. To illuminate the whole of a room, it is necessary to favor wide diffusion angles greater than 120 °. On the other hand, to target your lighting, it is necessary to favor diffusion angles lower than 120 °. ·          Wide angle = large lighting surface with more diffused light ·          Small angle = small lighting surface with focused light Choose the shape of the li...
