Buying a light bulb used to be easy
Buying a light bulb used to be really easy, but that changed with the arrival of energy-saving models.
It is very hard to buy a quality light bulb. I have often bought from "good" brand names and got disappointed.
Here is a feature list:
- Brightness.
Unfortunately, the lumen values are not linear, especially from 2,000 Lumen. I don't know the maths. If you can help, please drop me a line. This is the table I have been using for reference:
Incasdencent Watt Lumen LED Watt Energy-saver Watt 40 400 8 60 720 80 1,000 20 100 1,200 150 1,700 200 10,000
- Color temperature. 2700K is best. 3000K might be described as "soft, warm white", but you'll notice the difference.
- Turn-on speed.
- Lifespan.
- Cycling endurance.
- Clear or frosted glass.
- Noise.
- Dimmable.
- Physical robustness.
- Operating temperature.
Compact fluorescent lamp (CFL)
I am particulary dissatisfied with compact fluorescent lamp (CFL) technology, especially after all the hype.
The many drawbacks are:
- Expensive.
- Slow to turn on.
- Often last much shorter als advertised, due to low cycling endurance.
- Noisy. Most CFLs make a humming noise that you may notice in a quiet environment.
- Cold light colour.
- Normally not dimmable.
- The light bulb itself is also ugly.
- Contain toxic mercury (quicksilver) which complicates their disposal.
- They turn darker with time.
On the bright side, they consume very little electricity.
