Guidance LED Lightings for home use

Choosing an LED light bulb

Many different models and styles of LED bulbs are emerging in today'sthere are Mercury Lux, Alive Energy, Lptronics bulbs , Kingsun. When choosing a bulb, keep in mind the following:

• Estimate desired wattage - read the package to choose desired illumination level. For example, a 3W LED is equivalent in output to a 45 W incandescent.

• Choose between warm and cool light - new LED bulbs are available in 'cool' white light, which is ideal for task lighting, and 'warm' light commonly used for accent or small area lighting.

• Standard base or pin base - LEDs are available in several types of 'pin' sockets

or the standard "screw' (Edison) bases for recessed or track lighting.

• Choose between standard and dimmable bulbs - some LED bulbs, such as

the Mercury Lux, Alive Energy, Lptronics bulbs, are now available as dimmable bulbs.
