Led Bulbs - Lunares Blog

A bare bulb with glowing “wires” hanging over the table is one of the most durable trends of the past decade – the trouble is that three completely different products are sold today under the name “Edison bulb”: the classic incandescent, its power-hungry lookalike, and the modern LED filament that merely impersonates the other two. The differences in power consumption are tenfold, in lifespan – up to twentyfold, and in the look once lit – surprisingly small. We explain how an LED filament differs from an ordinary LED bulb, what the 2200 K mood really costs, and when it’s worth paying extra for looks – and when it’s money wasted.

E27, E14, GU10, GU5.3, G9, G4, GX53… these base codes look like a code, and a mistake means another trip to the store—or a light bulb that stays in the drawer forever. In fact, the system is logical and can be figured out once and for all. In this guide, we explain what the letters and numbers in bulb base names mean, how to identify the base in your light bulb, the differences between common threads and plugs, and what to watch out for when replacing halogen bulbs with LEDs.

The LED bulb shelf at a shop can be overwhelming: the same wattage, different color temperatures, a different base, a beam angle printed in tiny letters. You buy on a guess, and at home the light turns out too cold, too narrow, or the bulb simply doesn’t fit the socket. In this guide we break down choosing an LED bulb into six parameters that actually matter – and show you how to read them on the packaging before you even open the box.

Two identical lamps can create completely different interiors—all it takes is a 2700 K bulb in one and a 6000 K bulb in the other. Color temperature is, alongside power, the most important parameter of a light source, yet it is also the one most often overlooked when making a purchase. We explain the difference between warm and cool light tones, what color temperature to choose for your living room, kitchen, and bedroom, and why 6000 K is almost never a good idea for your home.
