Choosing LED lighting to replace old filament and halogen bulbs in your home is easy if you follow some simple steps. It’s true that the old days of buying a bulb based on the wattage, with higher watts delivering more brightness, meant that choice was not complicated. But now, with LED, you have to move away from just looking at the wattage.
There are two key measurements that help you decide what LED bulb to buy: lumens and kelvins. The lumens indicate how bright the bulb will be and the kelvins will give you a clear idea of the warmth or colour.
Lower kelvin figures indicate more warmth, moving up the scale to what some would term a colder or harsher (bluer) light at the top end. The lumens specify the amount of light emitted.
You will also see, when you search for LED bulbs, that manufacturers give you the wattage and this is useful for understanding how much power will be consumed. It’s no help at all in indicating warmth, colour or brightness.
