LED lighting is extremely energy efficient. Most of the energy used by LED bulbs turns into light rather than heat. Traditional bulbs will omit 80% of their energy as heat rather than light. This allows LED light fittings to remain cool to the touch.
LED lighting is designed to last longer, up to 25,000 hours on average. LED fittings and bulbs often last for 10 years or more and do not lose their brightness during their life-time unlike traditional bulbs.

2. What type of bases are available?

3. What is a lumen?
Lumens measure how much light you are getting from a bulb. More lumens means it’s a brighter light; fewer lumens means it’s a dimmer light.
4. When I buy LED, should I buy based on watts or lumens?
You should always buy based on lumens, watts is a number that is used to determine how much energy it takes to produce those lumens. It is important to pay attention to lumens per watt (lm/w). The higher the number, the less energy you will need to produce the light.
5. How many lumens do I need to replace a standard bulb?
Replace a 40W bulb with an LED bulb that gives you about 450 lumens. Read the table below for more information.
Lumens | Incandescent light bulb (watts) | Fluorescent / LED (watts) |
375 lm | 25 w | 6.23 w |
600 lm | 40 w | 10 w |
900 lm | 60 w | 15 w |
1125 lm | 75 w | 18.75 w |
1500 lm | 100 w | 25 w |
2250 lm | 150 w | 37.5 w |
3000 lm | 200 w | 50 2 |
