Guide to choosing the right led lights

We still have some insecurities when buying LED lights. It is normal to have doubts when choosing the right led lights, because until now we only worried about the shape of the bulb and its watts, but now there are more factors that we can control.

It is worth investing a little time in understanding how these bulbs work because once we know how to choose them, it is not really that complicated and we will be choosing the most suitable lights for each corner of the house. But, what do we have to fix? Mainly in these factors:

How to choose the right led lights for my home

The consumption of the bulb and spotlight:

The watts are important because they indicate the consumption that the bulb will generate. To make it easier the manufacturers usually put in the containers to what they are equivalent in relation to the old bulbs. For example, they indicate that an 18W led bulb and spotlight can equal a classic 100W bulb.
In the bedroom, we will always choose soft lights, since normally we are not going to carry out activities that require great lighting. Bulbs around 6 W are usually enough. You can even choose the lower power if you are going to place several in a lamp. For corridors, 6 W or 10 W lights are recommended depending on the natural light passing through them. In the living room, everything will depend on how the lighting is used and the environments that you want to create, while the kitchen and bathroom should bet on intense lights to see with maximum clarity betting on those between 13 W and 18 W

The intensity and the warmth of the light

Guide to choosing the right led lights
The lumens is the intensity of light. Before we did not pay attention to that, we only looked at consumption. But now to choose the right led lights, we are looking at bulbs whose consumption is very low and that is why we must check how many lumens they offer for each watt of consumption. Thus, we will know which bulbs are more efficient.
The tone of light is something we already knew. The light can range from bluish white to yellow. Normally indicated as cold light, neutral light or warm light, the first being the whitest and the last the most yellow.
For the bedrooms, the warm lights are more suitable as they are spaces to relax and be at ease. The cold lights are ideal for spaces such as storage rooms or garages in which a lot of light is needed. In the kitchen and in the bathroom, cold or neutral lights are the most recommended. For hallways and dining neutral lights they are very suitable, while in the living the room again will depend on the type of environment you want to create, and can play with different types of bulbs, such as neutral for the main lamp and the warm ones for indirect lighting or small lamps that light up to chat or to watch a movie.

However, there are still some doubts about the Led light and also, some false ideas that are repeated again and again but that have nothing to do with reality and that is dismantled quickly with simple arguments and very easy to demonstrate.

LED lighting tips that you should know Illuminates the walls, not the floor One of the most common mistakes when lighting the living room is to do it with ceiling lamps that send light directly to the floor. The ideal thing would be to put LED bulbs strategically distributed so that they focus on the walls, which is what we really look at when we enter a room. In addition, to be able to focus on the area that we want more, we can highlight those things that we want people to notice when entering, as a quality chart, for example. Lamps orientable towards the head of your bed When reading a book, the light should point directly to it, so that it can be read well without having to strain the view. The flexible or articulated Led spotlights are a good tool for this. In addition, this type of lighting fits very well with the most modern decoration of the bedrooms. The usual thing is to place one on each side of the bed, it can be on the bedside table or anchored on the wall,...

How to calculate the amount of light appropriate for a room

The Right Amount of Light for each room To calculate the right amount of light for each room, the first thing that must be taken into account is the activity that will be developed in it. The standard recommendation is 4W Led light for each square meter. Therefore, a room of 30 m², which would be a more or less large room, would need 120 W of light that should be divided into different points according to the distribution of the room. This is the simplest calculation possible to calculate how to light a room, but if you want to do a much more professional study you will have to know concepts such as lumens and lux. The lumen is the way to measure the intensity of the light of a lamp. Led bulbs and lamps always indicate how many lumens are, so it is easy to know and no calculation is necessary. However, when we talk about lux the thing can get a little more complicated. Lux refers to the way in which the human eye perceives that light. It is based on the lumen and the most mathe...
