LED Bulbs
By the flow of time like everything technology is also going to more depth and details. We all are mortal. It’s an invariable, fundamental truth. What we can do, we can live a healthy life. We can make our environment clean, clear and pollution free to abolish almost all sort of risk that can affect our health.
Scientists are also trying to make the world pollution free. Thus they are continuously inventing various products and technology to make the world green. One of their most venerable inventions is LED lights or light emitting diode. These LEDs comes in variant size and colour.
LED consumes less energy and supplies more lumens. There is a small difference between watt and lumen. Watts is unit for energy consumption whereas Lumen is the light output/brightness of a lamp. Generally higher wattage/energy consumption of a lamp implies higher lumen output. So it is very important to look at the lumen when you buy a bulb.
Now in many respect LEDs are better than CFLs and incandescent bulb. They make a serious cut to our electricity budget than incandescent bulbs and CFLs.
CFLs to LED
LED | CFL | Incandescent Bulb | |
Watt | 6-8 | 13-15 | 60 |
Lumen (suppose 60W of a incandescent bulb) | 3500 | 825-900 | 800 |
Kilo watt of electricity used | 329/yr | 767/yr | 3285/yr |
Durability | Yes | No | No |
Contains Mercury | No | Yes | No |
Total Cost | Rs. 2033/yr | Rs. 4746/yr | Rs. 20347/yr |
Buy Links | LEDs | CFLs | LED Bulbs |
Now you have the chart, so think and then buy.
