by Elena McDowell


Many of the 60-watt incandescent bulbs of the past have been replaced in the modern world with LED lightbulbs. There are so many positives associated with these kinds of fixtures and bulbs. Retailers around the world have products of this kind available for sale.

One of the major benefits of utilizing these light sources is their energy efficiency. Furthermore, these are known to last for more than 20 years and give off decent light. The prices will vary but have dropped considerably. Numerous manufacturers produce these types of LED bulbs in a range of brightness and with other varying features.

It can be difficult to choose between all the different bulbs that are available. Three main things to keep in mind when deciding: quality of light, function and price. In assessing the quality, consider the brightness, color and color quality. A feature of LEDs is that light can be adjusted to the entire spectrum of colors, which allows for many possibilities. There are some companies selling kits of bulbs that can be controlled through smart phone and similar devices, allowing consumers to choose the color of light they want from a palette.

Do not forget to consider the product function. Some lights or bulbs are shaped in a way that only specific people will appreciate. The bulbs are designed in a way to give off the light in a specific direction. This makes them good for spotlight or overhead fixtures. The older designs have a shape similar to a snow cone, resulting in light emission from the top part. In the modern world, designs allow for omni-directional light.

LED does not burn out as quickly as incandescent or halogen bulbs tend to. These are great for places in which the cycle of light is constantly on and off, as well as areas where full light is needed immediately. That is, compact fluorescent models tend to take a few minutes in order to warm up. They also tend to burn out quickly when they are turned off and on over a short period of time.
