Things to Remember When You Choose LED Lights

LED lights come in various types and features. A basic knowledge about them will help you to choose the right type of bulb for your specific need. The various types vary in shades, brightness level, energy consumption and viewing angles. Considering all the aspects you will have to select your LED light to make it really useful.

Wattage and brightness are related with traditional bulbs. The more wattage the bulb has you will get more light in your room was the idea we had till now. However, with these lights it’s very different. The interesting fact about these lights is they are significantly more competent, use less energy and provides you the same lighting traditional bulbs do. The wattage ratings of LED bulbs which range from 1 to 5 watts, seems unbelievable to users of first time. Whatever may be the type of LED light you select, you need not doubt a second about your gain in its operation cost.

Another notable feature of LED lights is that they focus the light on a specific area instead of spreading them in the entire room, unlike traditional bulbs. In truth, we do not need the light to be spread out in certain places like reading desks, kitchens and bathrooms. LED bulbs produce an advanced intensity of brightness also known as lumens, for less power. LED’s with a wider focal area too are available but they are generally designed to focus on a small area.

The focusing angle of the LED is very important. If you need an LED to display items in a shelf you should opt for an LED bulb with tight focal beam. At the same time, a reading desk may require a little more spread out beam. The benefit of the LED bulbs is that the full amount of light you get is concentrated on the area you want instead of being scattered and wasted.

Another aspect you should look for is the connection requirements. When you have checked the connection and have decided the location for your LED light you can shop for the most suitable one for your requirement.

My very first job in 1990 was with the Street Lighting Division for my local power company as an Electrical Engineering Student Co-Op..... I guess you can say, in the almost 30 years of business experience, I have seen a lot of changes. However, I believe the changes we are currently witnessing now and the pace of technology advancements in the lighting industry, will be the most exciting time period yet.
