Led Light Bulbs


LED Vs Standard Light Bulbs

We’ve all heard the old joke about how many people it takes to change a light bulb and whilst the variations of these witticisms are amusing, what is less amusing is being faced with having to frequently replace a bulb in your ceiling or wall lighting. That is the dilemma encountered by many when using standard light bulbs, which is why we are promoting our LED light bulbs as they last a lot longer than normal bulbs.

A standard incandescent light bulb will deliver around 1200 hours of light, whereas an LED bulb could give you up to 50,000 hours – lasting over 41 times as long!

Eventually, LED bulbs will probably become the standard and the only reason they are not already is down to the fact they have a narrower and more focussed light beam. However advances in technology mean that LED bulbs are getting better and better and with prices now much more reasonable than when these items first came on the market, they are a very viable solution for the customer.

LED bulbs are now being designed for even more applications, meaning that their use is becoming more widespread. We stock a wide range of LED light bulbs, including dimmable bulbs, spotlights and globe bulbs, which can help you save money on running costs without the bother of frequent replacement.

Act fast to save big on LED light bulbs


LED

If, like me, you’ve been disappointed by the CFL bulbs that don’t last the promised nine or 10 years, there's an opportunity today to try LEDs at a great price. I've had to responsibly dispose of mercury-filled (and short-lived) CFL bulbs more times than I can count, and it's made me hesitant to invest in LEDs, which have a higher price than CFLs. LEDs are supposed to pay for themselves over time — but then again, so were CFLs. I've been waiting for a great deal on LEDs, and today I found one.
Today, Amazon’s Gold Box Deal of the Day is LED light bulbs at up to 60 percent off. The bulbs all come from a company called Energetic Lighting, and the company is offering four different options.
In 2011, MNN's Matt Hickman was excited about the low price of a single £15 40-watt equivalent LED bulb. Just four years later, we now can pay under £4 a piece 40-watt equivalent bulbs. And it's not just the low cost that makes these LEDs an attractive purchase. In addition to lasting three times as long as CFLs, LEDs are less fragile, don’t release mercury if they get broken and turn on more quickly.
According to a U.K. Department of Energy study, LEDs and CFLs consume the same amount of energy in their lifetimes, but an LED lasts three times as long as a CFL. New LEDs that should be introduced later this year are expected to be even more energy-efficient.
The deal is good only today, so if you’re interested, don’t hesitate.

How to Change GU10 LED Bulbs ?

Beginners' Guide on How to Change GU10 LED Bulbs

How to Change GU10 LED Bulbs ?

GU10 LED bulb (more appropriately called lamp), as their structure differs from a standard bulb--are usually quartz/halogen, although LED versions are available for some fixtures. Modern track lighting and other ceiling fixtures use these lamps to produce a bright white light with a moderate beam spread. Unlike halogen lamps with a simple two-prong base that pull straight out of their sockets, gu10 lamps have a cylinder at the base of each prong are wider than the prongs that connect the lamp to its socket.

To change a GU10 LED light bulb, you need to switch off the power first, to keep you safe from being electrocuted.


1. Stand on a ladder so you can comfortably reach your light fixture.


2. Press the existing Gu10 lamp into the fixture using both thumbs.

3. Turn the lamp counter-clockwise as you continue to press inward, using the pressure of your thumbs to grip the bulb.

4. Release your pressure on the lamp when it won't turn any farther.

5. Pull the lamp straight out of the socket. You may need to wiggle it gently to get the cylindrical "feet" aligned correctly with the larger openings in the socket.

6. Discard the old lamp and remove packaging from your new lamp. Line the prongs on the new lamp up with the wide openings on the socket.

7. Press inward on the edges of the new lamp with your thumbs and twist the lamp clockwise as far as it will go.



Tips:

If your gu10 lamp does not have a glass cover across the front, be very careful to only handle it by the reflector. If oils from your fingers get on the inner lamp, they can cause it to heat improperly and explode.

LED Light Bulbs Your Brighter Choice

Why Are LED Light Bulbs Your Brighter Choice?


As we all know, LED light bulbs are a huge improvement over incandescent bulbs and compact fluorescents (CFLs).

With LED light bulb or lamp technologies improving, there is a growing market for energy efficient lighting options for businesses! Today, we will discuss and take a look at some reasons why we need or choose LED light bulbs above all. Why LED bulbs are brighter choice, and what benefits of LED lights will bring to our life:

1. Carbook Footprint
LEDs emit just under 514 lbs of CO2 per year, while CFLs (1028 lbs of CO2 per year), and incandescents (whopping 4405 lbs of CO2 per year!). Obviousely, LED bulb is much eco-friendly, green, and environment-saving choice.

2. Energy Efficient
LED lamps use just 6 to 8 watts of electricity, versus CFLs' 13 to 15 watts, and incandescent bulbs, which emit 60 watts of electricity! This should be the main reason why we need LED lights, it can save a lot of money and energy for your business! According to the U.S.

3. Longevity
LED lamp can last a surprising 80,000 hours, in contrast to CFL bulbs (50,000 hours), and incandescent bulbs (10,000 hours).That's why people love and in favor of LED bulb.

4. Safety
It's a priority and factoring point in our daily life.  LED lamps offer low voltage, are safe to install, can be exposed to rain/snow and contain zero filaments. However, CFL bulbs contain mercury and argon content; emits radio frequency radiation; emits UV radiation, and generates "dirty" electricity! Incandescent bulbs are deemed hazardous for use, containing a cocktail of toxic materials, in addition to its susceptibility to overheating and damage.


For these four reasons, we will make our brighter choice of course, and maximize home lighting with LED bulbs. Since LED lightbulbs last for decades, save electricity, offer extra features, and their prices are plummeting. It's time you switched to LED.
