The halogen bulb should disappear

LED Light Bulbs
The halogen bulb has succeeded the incandescent bulb with the argument: greater respect for the environment and better quality lighting despite the great disadvantage of the latter, which is the delayed diffusion of its light. Although it is appreciated for the subdued atmosphere that it brings into a room, the halogen bulb is still too much energy consuming and it is in this context that the European Commission, after an attempt in 2015, has voted to ban halogen bulbs by autumn 2018.

A continuing disappearance of energy-consuming technologies

The process began with incandescent bulbs that were banned in 2013 for production and sale in Europe. The latter use 95% of their energy consumption to heat the bulb and only 5% is used to produce light. Among other things, especially due to the heat produced, incandescent bulbs are fragile and do not last long. The poor performance of the incandescent, as well as their significant energy consumption, were the reason for them, and the European Commission made the decision to withdraw them from the market. However, incandescent bulbs are still available on the internet since the prohibition of sale concerns only the physical shops. Some e-commerce and marketplace, therefore, benefit from selling incandescent bulbs that remain, including here. In spite of their bad note in consumption of energy, incandescent ones are largely appreciated for the beauty of their light which is pleasant for the eyes and ideal to install a subdued atmosphere at home.
It is finally the turn of halogen bulbs to disappear from our markets since they consume too much energy, and therefore are harmful to the planet.

Faced with these changes, the LED is back in force

First of all, LED technology is the most environmentally friendly, since it consumes on average 10 times less than the incandescent bulb and 6 times less than halogen and 5 times less than the compact fluorescent. It is therefore ecological but also allows to make big savings in energy and the purchase since a LED bulb can last up to 25 000 hours. Powerful, durable and eco-friendly, the LED is also pleasant to the eye and does not produce heat so burn accidents are avoided.
In addition, the LED is beautiful, and with the enthusiasm of filament bulbs and lighting for decorations in general, the LED bulb is now only in the form of a standard bulb but also under the vintage bulbs with apparent filaments, straight or twisted, returning a warm light perfect to sublimate the decor of a living room.

With the imminent disappearance of incandescent bulbs and the planned halogen bulbs, LED technology, with its many advantages, continues to conquer the market little by little.

The LED is not measured in Watt but in Lumen!

Watt : term today entered the common language and assimilated in all minds as designating the power of a light bulb, an important criterion when buying a light bulb. Out, with the invasion of LEDs in our shelves and in our living rooms, today the power of a lamp is no longer measured in Watt ... but in Lumen! A short tour of the Lumen The choice of a lamp is guided by several criteria, aesthetic of course, but also technical, as the power of light emitted by the lamp is its luminous flux. This criterion is measured in the lumen and is represented by the symbol "lm" on of boxes bulb. Yesterday, powerful lighting was chosen in watt, today, the choice is on the luminous intensity which expresses in the lumen. How to convert from Watts to Lumen? To put it simply, one watt is about 10 lumens. It is therefore sufficient to multiply the number of watts of a bulb by 10 to find its corresponding power in the lumen. For example, to get the same light output as a cl...

Why switch to LED?

Image
Accessible for all budgets and economic? The LED is no longer this standard bulb, ecological but without charm and a little too expensive. Today, LED has revised prices down and comes in several models. To finally switch to LED, here are our top 5 advantages of an LED: 1 - LED consumes very little energy LED technology consumes 10 times less than an incandescent bulb, 6 times less than a halogen bulb and even less than a compact fluorescent bulb, already known to consume little. This low energy consumption makes the LED an eco-friendly bulb to be favored to preserve the environment. 2 - LED is economical LED, in addition to consuming little energy, is sustainable since it can last up to 50 000 hours is 50 times longer than a conventional light bulb. LEDs can, therefore, save energy but also financially because it does not need to be changed regularly. 3 - LED is recyclable Unlike incandescent bulbs, LED bulbs are recyclable and above all do not contain mercury so th...

Colors of Led Lights

Color temperature: rather warm white or cold white? If there is information to consider in addition to the power and the base of the bulb, it is the color temperature, a number followed by the indication "K" on the packaging. This number is expressed in Kelvin and allows to know the color of the light of the bulb. So if you do not want to find yourself with a neo-futuristic atmosphere instead of a warm atmosphere, follow the guide! Kelvin value: the color of the light perceived by our eye The Kelvin measurement unit (K) measures the color of the light reflected by the light bulb we perceive. This color is more precisely called the color temperature and can be classified into three broad categories: warm white, neutral white and cold white. The lower the color temperature, the warmer the bulb will be in yellow-orange tones. The higher the color temperature, the returned light will be in cool, bluish tones. Then, in the middle of the two extremes is the neutral white,...
